Lie Catcher
Here is a circuit that you can have fun with your friends. Especially you can catch your girl friend or your boy friend when ever they say lies. Circuit is very simple and you can build it with in few hours. But you will surprise with the results.
.
For two electrodes you can use wires but to get best results use electrode pads which use in the hospitals. Attach the electrode pads to the back of the hand from one inch apart. Make sure meter should be zero before you start. If the person is lying the meter point will get move.
To operate the circuit it needs two voltages separately as shown in the diagram. You can use alkaline batteries for long use or two 4.5 V two power packs if you want.
Night Lamp
This simple night lamp required very low current as 350mA. So you can operate this lamp using one normal 1.5V battery. But we recommend using alkaline batteries as you can operate long time without any headache.
When you buy a IC for this circuit make sure it is Cmos type. To get best results do not use an ordinary LED cheap bulb, use a good one. You can build this lamp without the photo resister but it will be then affect to the duration of the battery you can use, there for use photo resister to double the running time as mention in the diagram.
When daylight comes the photo resister will automatically disconnect the circuit and with the darkness it will be switched on again.

Simple Transistor Tester
This is a simple circuit but we hope it will help you a lot and save your valuable time. You do not have to use millimeter to test a transistor if you build this circuit. You can have a 9 volts battery to operate the circuit. No matter if the transistor is NPN or PNP, if the transistor is shorted then no any LED should light. If the transistor is open Both the LED should light.
Now remember when you test a good PNP transistor then LED2 should light.
For NPN good transistor only LED1 should light.
Try to make the circuit on a PCB and put in a small box for its safety. Find a three pin socket and mounted it on the box. When you fix everything, only visible parts from the out side of the box should be the switch and three pins of the socket to test a transistor.
Door alarm for Fridge
This circuit will help you to save your electricity bill. Incase if you leave the fridge door open more than twenty seconds. The circuit consumes very little current as it can operates by a 3 volts battery. You can enclose this whole circuit in a small box and keep inside the fridge.
R2 is a photo resistor. Normally photo resister has a low resistance but when you close the fridge door, with the darkness the photo resister’s resistance will go high. When you open the door fridge lamp will light and photo resister’s resistance goes down.
Then the IC1 start its action. You can set the preset according to your wish but in this circuit it is set for 20 seconds delay. After 20 seconds the piezo starts beeps until you close the door.
Remember not to place the alarm box inside the freezer try to place it near the lamp.
Tone controller
This low distortion tone control circuit is used LM1036 IC to control the Bass, Treble, Balance and volume of any power amplifier. You can use this with Hi-Fi audio, car audio, TV audio systems. The specialty of this tone control circuit is you can supply 9V to 16V DC current. But never go to try more than 16 Volts. Also it has a large range ( 75 dB ) of volume.
Output capacitors should be 10uf 25 Volts. If you want to add this to a stereo amplifier then you need to make one more tone control. To get best results use screen wires for controllers and inputs. Also try to use half watt resistors and when fixing capacitors make sure to consider the polarities.
22W power amplifier
This is another simple and easy to build amplifier. This circuit provides 22 watts and it is enough for
small audio systems. As this circuit requires 12 volts DC supply you can use this as a booster amp for
car speakers. We recommend for you to use 4 ohms speaks to get best results. Although 8 ohms
speakers you can connect. Make sure you use good heat sink compound between the IC
and the heat sink .Try to use a fan to cool the hot heat sink if possible, otherwise we recommend to
have a big large heat sink.
For this small amplifier you can use our tone control circuit to control the bass, treble and the volume.
For stereo systems you may need to make two circuits of this.

60 Watts mono Amp
This is a circuit diagram of 60 Watts output class B power amplifier. The supply voltage is 48 Volts. We recommend not increasing the voltage if you want to run the amp long time. You can build this amplifier for low cost. The output transistors are 2N 3055 which are not expensive.
Circuit diagram shown a one amplifier means mono amp, if you want stereo amplifier which is 60W + 60W then you have to build two sets of this. Remember this is not for a beginner, you need to have some experience with electronic circuit diagrams and components before you start this project.
