Power failure alarm using transformer and relay
This power failure alarm circuit is very simple and is very useful when used with electric ovens, a refrigeration systems or to prevent a thief from cutting off the electrical power because it immediately warns of the problem. It also serves you when the fuses have blown.

Half Wave Voltage Doubler
Voltage doublers produce twice as much DC voltage as a common rectifier could produce. The advantage of the Half Wave voltage doubler is that it has a line, which is common to the input and output

12V Power Supply using Zener and 741 Op. Amp.
This 12V Power Supply has, as its main characteristic, a low output impedance. This is a very desirable feature in voltage sources and is achieved with a large open loop gain that the operational amplifier has.

This High – Low Temperature Indicator shows us, by means of two LEDs, when the sensed temperature is above or below a set limit.
When the temperature is above the pre-set temperature level, LED D1 will light up and if it is below, LED D2 will light up.

Car Burglar Alarm using two 555 timers
This is a simple Car Burglar Alarm circuit that uses a dual contact relay and two 555 timers, each of them working as a monostable multivibrator.
The alarm will activate the car horn, approximately 5 seconds after either door is opened and has not been properly closed.
