    Driving a GPO Telephone bell with MOSFET

    I have a vintage GPO telephone. The bell inside is circa 70V a.c. It comprises two coils (centre tapped) - effectively 2 x 35V coils. Which I want to drive with a DC pulse. I took the centre-tap as 0V and connected the two coils (with flyback diodes) to MOSFET based modules (FR120N) which are...

    How to detect receiver (smartphone) with a wireless charger transmitter (base)?

    My end goal is to build a circuit with a wireless charger transmitter module and a led indicator that turns on when the receiver is detected and wireless charging is occurring. I’ve been reading about the analog pings the TX uses to detect RX, Foreign Object Detection (FOD), Q-factor...

    Solenoid Flyback protection

    I am planning to make solenoid: *Coil = 3.5 Ohm Dc - 3.5 mh inductance *Capacitor = 450v- 1000 uf *Dc Battery = 12v *Dc Booster = up to 400v *Push button switch Iam willing to operate it on 150v or 200v I am worrying about the switch to get damage by the back emf I did some research...

    First PCB Build Problems (I2C Driven Motor Driver Board): DRV8872 Motor Driver

    Hello All, I am developing a very small I2C controlled Motor Driver PCB Board for a robot for my master's thesis. The idea is simple: Use ATTINY816 to send two PWM signals to the DRV8872 Motor driver to actuate an electromagnetic coil back and forth between two magnets. The PWM signals switch...

    Axial flux motor with single coil

    Disclaimer: I am not an expert, only enthusiast. Hi, i want to experiment with a small scale axial flux motor and a single coil. The first question is what should be the polarity of the magnets? Same or alternating? The second question is what should be the shape of the coil. Is a core needed...

    Startups increasing efficiency in motors. Revolutionary ideas or old ideas dressed up with marketing?

    I was looking into companies or startups that were doing things with motors to improve efficiency. I stumbled upon Turntide Technologies, which has a partnership with Amazon. Turntide is making a software-driven motor that "enables precise and reliable control to effectively use every watt of...
