At night, on the roads you can find cars in which a blue or green flashlight shines on the windshield at the top left. This is one of the anti-dazzle devices. To improve its efficiency, the following scheme is proposed.

Consider the usefulness of an automobile anti-dazzle device for the driver. The graph (Fig. 1) of the intensity distribution of the radiant flux of an incandescent lamp [1] shows that its largest part is made up of red, orange and yellow rays, which mainly illuminate the retina of the driver's eyes. In order to "cut off" the brightest part of the spectrum of car headlights, many drivers install passive light filters from stripes of blue or green plexiglass at the top of the windshield. However, passive filters are very inconvenient, because. located above the main field of view of the driver.

Ris.1

An electric anti-dazzle lamp is installed at the level of the main field of vision of the driver, on the left side of the windshield, which practically does not interfere with the driver when driving. The light from the lamp spreads parallel to the windshield and does not fall into the driver's eye, for this the lamp has a light-protective visor. When the flashlight is turned on, a significant part of the radiant flux of headlights is absorbed, reducing the illumination of the retina. In addition, the use of a blue or green light filter in a flashlight makes it possible to control the situation on the road, since at night the human eyes are most sensitive to blue and green rays (Fig. 2) of the visible spectrum [1].

Ris.2

The disadvantage of manufactured anti-glare lamps is their early or late inclusion. Late switching on is especially dangerous, when the retina of the eyes is illuminated from a sharp bright light, and turning on the flashlight is ineffective.

The proposed scheme for automatically turning on and off the lamp has the following advantages over the one published in [2]:

- the whole device is turned on simultaneously with the headlights of the car from its "regular" switch;
- quick switching on when the photocell is illuminated by the headlights of oncoming traffic and smooth (several seconds) switching off reduces the time of re-adaptation of the driver's eyes.

Figure 3 shows a schematic diagram of an automatic device for turning on and off an anti-glare lamp. It consists of a threshold luminous flux amplifier on a transistor VT1, a composite transistor switch on transistors of different conductivity VT2, VT3 and a delay circuit for turning off the lamp HL1, made on a resistor R3 and a storage capacitor C1. The device is powered by a parametric stabilizer on the zener diode VD1 and resistor R4. The device is switched on together with the headlights of the car. As soon as the rays of light from the headlights of oncoming traffic hit the photoresistor R1, the transistor VT1 opens, which turns on the transistor key VT2, VT3, and the onboard voltage of +1 V is supplied to the HL12 lamp lamp - the lamp starts to shine. At this time, the capacitor C1 is simultaneously charged. When the lighting of the photoresistor stops, the transistor VT1 closes, but the lamp HL1 continues to shine until the storage capacitor C1 is completely discharged through the resistor R3 and the base-emitter junction of the transistor VT2. The trimming resistor R2 sets the threshold for turning on the lantern lamp HL1.

Structurally, the printed circuit board is located in the lamp housing. For the photoresistor, a hole is drilled in the housing from the side facing the road. Although the sensitivity of the circuit is sufficient, in order to increase its efficiency, it is desirable to install a converging lens in front of the photoresistor. The optical system (photoresistor with a lens) is positioned so that it is well illuminated by the headlights of oncoming vehicles and as little as possible by the headlights of your own car.

The power of the lamp in the lamp should not exceed 5 W, the photoresistor R1 of the SF2-8 type can be replaced with an FSK-1 with a dark resistance of 30 ... 60 kOhm, transistors VT1, VT2 must have a static current transfer coefficient of at least 100. radiator and can be replaced by KT3 with any letter. Capacitor C818 type K1-50 can be replaced with any capacitance of 16 ... 20 microfarads. Trimmer resistor R30 - type SPZ-2A. Zener diode VD6 KS 1 can be replaced with D182A.B.

Artificial leather for touch emulation 15.04.2024

In a modern technology world where distance is becoming increasingly commonplace, maintaining connection and a sense of closeness is important. Recent developments in artificial skin by German scientists from Saarland University represent a new era in virtual interactions. German researchers from Saarland University have developed ultra-thin films that can transmit the sensation of touch over a distance. This cutting-edge technology provides new opportunities for virtual communication, especially for those who find themselves far from their loved ones. The ultra-thin films developed by the researchers, just 50 micrometers thick, can be integrated into textiles and worn like a second skin. These films act as sensors that recognize tactile signals from mom or dad, and as actuators that transmit these movements to the baby. Parents' touch to the fabric activates sensors that react to pressure and deform the ultra-thin film. This ... >>

Petgugu Global cat litter 15.04.2024

Taking care of pets can often be a challenge, especially when it comes to keeping your home clean. A new interesting solution from the Petgugu Global startup has been presented, which will make life easier for cat owners and help them keep their home perfectly clean and tidy. Startup Petgugu Global has unveiled a unique cat toilet that can automatically flush feces, keeping your home clean and fresh. This innovative device is equipped with various smart sensors that monitor your pet's toilet activity and activate to automatically clean after use. The device connects to the sewer system and ensures efficient waste removal without the need for intervention from the owner. Additionally, the toilet has a large flushable storage capacity, making it ideal for multi-cat households. The Petgugu cat litter bowl is designed for use with water-soluble litters and offers a range of additional ... >>

The attractiveness of caring men 14.04.2024

The stereotype that women prefer "bad boys" has long been widespread. However, recent research conducted by British scientists from Monash University offers a new perspective on this issue. They looked at how women responded to men's emotional responsibility and willingness to help others. The study's findings could change our understanding of what makes men attractive to women. A study conducted by scientists from Monash University leads to new findings about men's attractiveness to women. In the experiment, women were shown photographs of men with brief stories about their behavior in various situations, including their reaction to an encounter with a homeless person. Some of the men ignored the homeless man, while others helped him, such as buying him food. A study found that men who showed empathy and kindness were more attractive to women compared to men who showed empathy and kindness. ... >>

Random news from the Archive A Stimulated Brain Works More Efficiently 13.04.2012 Scientists from the University of Sydney have experimentally proven that non-invasive brain stimulation can solve problems that a person could not cope with before. The experiment used the famous puzzle: nine dots that need to be connected to each other using only four straight lines and without lifting the pen from the page. Surprisingly, research over the past century has shown that almost no one can solve this puzzle. However, scientists from the University of Sydney showed that more than 40% of people were able to solve the nine-dot puzzle after 10 minutes of safe, non-invasive brain stimulation. Stimulation consists in inhibition of the left anterior temporal lobe of the brain and simultaneous excitation of the right anterior temporal lobe using transcranial direct current stimulation. This technology has been successfully used in the past to enhance comprehension and improve memory in the short term. According to scientists, their unique method of brain stimulation will give people the opportunity to perform the most complex mental work that is not available in the normal state. Of course, transcranial stimulation is temporary and does not improve brain function "forever", but even short-lived "flashes of genius" can lead to outstanding results.
