I'm going to make a 12v DC power supply with a linear reg. I will half-wave rectify 12v AC and have a smoothing cap. The load is only 10ma. So: 12v RMS is 17v peak, minus the diode drop of 0.7 is 16.3v peak. Using a 47uF cap, the ripple will be 3.5v p-p. So the min voltage into the regulator will be 16.3-3.5 = 12.8. Ripple calculated from Vpp = i/fC (.010/(60*47e-6). Am I missing ...

Hi guys, I have an old vintage HP audio osciallator which I want to use for some experimentation to get more practice in electronics. Its output is continually variable between 4 and 20 volts. Problem is, for some experiments I have in mind, I need it to output only between 1mV and 10mV. The oscailator's output impedance is 600 ohms it states. Can anyone suggest a simple passive attenuator...

Hey all, Has anyone used or installed a 120volt power relay that would allow for a 23 hour 59 minute on time and a 1 minute off time that would then repeat the cycle?? The desire would be to have a remote device do a daily reboot without human intervention. I know I can build one to do the job but I was wondering if someone knows of a device that would be off the shelf available to ju...

When the first reports of diplomats at the American Havana Embassy falling ill were caused by microwave injuries it seemd quite implausible. Now it seems more incidents have emerged, and the Frey effect, discovered in the early 1960's, at least indirectly supports the idea microwaves can have lasting non- thermal effects on humans.
