Comments on the article

Used in some models of remote controls (RC) batteries type "Krona" have a short service life. Therefore, it is advisable to use elements of type A316 with a voltage of 1,5 V in conjunction with a voltage converter.

The converter (Fig. 4.56) is a single-cycle relaxation generator with capacitive positive feedback (C2, C3). A step-up autotransformer T2 is included in the collector circuit of transistor VT1.

Converter for remote control, 9 volts 4,5 milliamps

The converter uses the reverse connection of the rectifier diode VD1, i.e. when the transistor VT2 is open, a supply voltage is applied to the winding of the autotransformer and a voltage pulse appears at the output of the autotransformer. However, the diode VD1 switched on in the opposite direction is closed at this time and the load is disconnected from the converter. At the moment of pause, when the transistor closes, the voltage on the windings T1 is reversed, the diode VD1 opens and the rectified voltage is applied to the load. During subsequent cycles, when the transistor VT2 is turned off, the filter capacitors (C4, C5) are discharged through the load, ensuring the flow of direct current.

In this case, the inductance of the step-up winding of the transformer T1 plays the role of a smoothing filter inductor. To eliminate the magnetization of the autotransformer core with a direct current of the transistor VT2, the magnetization reversal of the autotransformer core is used by connecting capacitors C2 and C3 in parallel with its winding, which are also a feedback voltage divider.

When the transistor VT2 closes, the capacitors C2 and C3 are discharged during the pause through the winding 1-2, remagnetizing the core T1 with the discharge current. The open time of the transistor VT2 is determined by the inductance of the winding 1-2 of the autotransformer T1 and the capacitances C2 and C3. The generation frequency depends on the voltage at the base of the transistor VT1. Stabilization of the output voltage is carried out due to the OOS for a constant voltage through R2. In this case, with a decrease in the output voltage, the frequency of the generated pulses increases with approximately the same duration. As a result, the frequency of recharging the filter capacitors C4 and C5 increases and the voltage drop across the load is compensated. With an increase in the output voltage, the generation frequency, on the contrary, decreases. So, after charging the storage capacitor in the remote control, the generation frequency drops tenfold. Only rare pulses remain, compensating for the discharge of capacitors in rest mode. This method of stabilization made it possible to bring the quiescent current of the converter to 0,5 mA. Transistors VT1 and VT2 should have the highest possible gain to improve efficiency.

The winding of the autotransformer is wound on a ferrite ring 2000NM 10x6x2 mm and has 300 turns of PEL-0,08 wire with a tap from the 50th turn (counting from the "grounded" pin). Diode VD1 must be high-frequency and have a small reverse current. The remaining parts are small-sized, of any type. After installation and adjustment, the parts of the transducer are covered with a screen made of tinplate. A correctly assembled converter starts working immediately after switching on. It is only necessary to set the output voltage to 2 V by selecting the resistor R9. To increase the service life of the A316 element, you can install a miniature power switch in the remote control.

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 ... >>
