Security alarm,. switches for household appliances, control sensors on the production line - these are just a small part of the scope of this capacitive relay. It can be used, for example, in the simplest household automation: sat in an armchair - a floor lamp turned on, music started playing, a fan started, etc. In a word, the scope of this relay will be prompted by fantasy, the creative thought of the radio amateurs themselves.

The range of the relay depends on the accuracy of the setting of the capacitor C1, as well as on the design of the sensor. The author has the maximum distance to which the relay reacts is 50 cm.

Schematic diagram of the capacitive relay is shown in Fig. 1, images mounting and printed circuit board - in Fig. 2, and the design of the inductive coil with its placement and the sensor on the board - in Fig.3.

Coil L1 is wound on a multi-section polystyrene frame from the circuits of transistor radios and contains 500 turns (250 + 250) with a tap from the middle of the PEL-0,12mm wire. Winding - in bulk.

The sensor is installed perpendicular to the PCB plane. It is a piece of insulated mounting wire with a length of 15 to 100 cm, or a square made of the same wire, with sides from 15 cm to 1 m.

Capacitor C1 - type KPK-M, the rest - type K50-6. RES-10, passport RS4.524.312 is selected as a relay, you can also use RES-10, passport RS4.524.303, or RES-55A, passport 0602. Diode VD1 can be excluded, since it is only necessary to protect the circuit from accidental polarity change nutrition.

The capacitive relay is configured with capacitor C1. First, rotor C1 must be set to the minimum capacity position. relay K1 will operate. Then the rotor is slowly turned in the direction of increasing capacity until relay K1 is turned off. The smaller the capacitance of the tuned capacitor, the more sensitive the capacitive relay and the greater the distance at which the sensor is able to respond to the object. When setting up the capacitor, the body case and the hand with a dielectric screwdriver must be kept as far away from the board as possible.

Machine for thinning flowers in gardens 02.05.2024

In modern agriculture, technological progress is developing aimed at increasing the efficiency of plant care processes. The innovative Florix flower thinning machine was presented in Italy, designed to optimize the harvesting stage. This tool is equipped with mobile arms, allowing it to be easily adapted to the needs of the garden. The operator can adjust the speed of the thin wires by controlling them from the tractor cab using a joystick. This approach significantly increases the efficiency of the flower thinning process, providing the possibility of individual adjustment to the specific conditions of the garden, as well as the variety and type of fruit grown in it. After testing the Florix machine for two years on various types of fruit, the results were very encouraging. Farmers such as Filiberto Montanari, who has used a Florix machine for several years, have reported a significant reduction in the time and labor required to thin flowers. ... >>

Advanced Infrared Microscope 02.05.2024

Microscopes play an important role in scientific research, allowing scientists to delve into structures and processes invisible to the eye. However, various microscopy methods have their limitations, and among them was the limitation of resolution when using the infrared range. But the latest achievements of Japanese researchers from the University of Tokyo open up new prospects for studying the microworld. Scientists from the University of Tokyo have unveiled a new microscope that will revolutionize the capabilities of infrared microscopy. This advanced instrument allows you to see the internal structures of living bacteria with amazing clarity on the nanometer scale. Typically, mid-infrared microscopes are limited by low resolution, but the latest development from Japanese researchers overcomes these limitations. According to scientists, the developed microscope allows creating images with a resolution of up to 120 nanometers, which is 30 times higher than the resolution of traditional microscopes. ... >>

Air trap for insects 01.05.2024

Agriculture is one of the key sectors of the economy, and pest control is an integral part of this process. A team of scientists from the Indian Council of Agricultural Research-Central Potato Research Institute (ICAR-CPRI), Shimla, has come up with an innovative solution to this problem - a wind-powered insect air trap. This device addresses the shortcomings of traditional pest control methods by providing real-time insect population data. The trap is powered entirely by wind energy, making it an environmentally friendly solution that requires no power. Its unique design allows monitoring of both harmful and beneficial insects, providing a complete overview of the population in any agricultural area. “By assessing target pests at the right time, we can take necessary measures to control both pests and diseases,” says Kapil ... >>

Random news from the Archive ATA6026 Highly Integrated Motor Driver 17.03.2006 ATMEL CORPORATION announced the release of the ATA6026 chip, a highly integrated electric motor driver. It consists of two drivers: for the left glass wiper motor and for the right wiper motor. The microcircuit contains a voltage regulator, an on-duty timer and requires a small number of external components. Available in a miniature QFN32 package.
