Hi. Im making one simple mcu based device that will work as electronic repellent. Nothing special. Only difference is that i want to check other frequency ranges and to do so, i have to connect my device to function generator ( 0 - 4 MHZ ). Does someone knows how to build amplifier for this function generator ?

Years ago I adjusted a neighbor's generator so that it put out 60 cycles at 120 volts. I used a TEK 465B 'scope to look at the frequency. I saw the major 60 cycle waveform and then a lot of smaller waveforms at higher frequencies. I was told that these harmonics were typical of small generators. Today I am replacing the voltage regulator on a small generator and adjusting the governo...

Hello, My 4017A function generator just died on me today. I opened it up and saw two badly burnt resistors. I would like to replace them but I do not know their values. How can I get the schematic for the 4017A function generator? or anybody has this model and can tell me their values? R624 and R148. thank you for your help. ken

On just buying a 800 watt 'two' stroke petrol generator from Aldi, we have heard from someone who says that he has got one; and that his is running very roughly, and is really noisy. Also it says in the instructions that it is *not* suitable for connecting to televisions or other sensitive electronic equipment. Has anybody any experience with one of these very cheap generators ? (Only ...

I've received an ad for plans for a Hendershot generator, claiming that it will produce power sufficient to run an entire house for virtually nothing. I find this hard to believe, but I'm not current in my understanding of the physics of this device. Can someone here explain how this works and explore the possibility of using it to power a household? -- +---------[ SERVER SIGNATURE ]-----...

If there's a better site/forum for this question, please let me know. I have an old (mid 80's) Sears Craftsman generator - 4 cycle B&S engine & 120v, 1350W rated output. (Jeff - model 580.328172) I haven't used it in decades so I cleaned it up & checked it out with the intent to donate it to the Habitat ReStore. Imagine my surprise when I measured the no-load output voltage at 134v ...

I have a 4500 watt generator that is for emergency use. When it was new I checked the output with an oscilloscope just to see how pure the sine wave was and how close to 60 Hz it was. Well, the main sine wave looked good and the frequency was very close to 60 Hz. It floated around a little as the load changed but then would stabilize very close to 60Hz. However, there were lots of other small...

The goal is an Stirling w/o a mechanical crank/flywheel. Instead it'll have 2 electric actuators and a linear generator. Supposedly a linear generator, a glorified shake light, can be 95% efficient. I need an actuator that is pretty efficient as well. The actuators need a to consume less than 100 watts and have a stroke of ~ 15 cm. Since it is only for demonstration purposes it is OK if...

I have an old function generator that has 6 pots to adjust the shape of the sinewave for minimal distortion I don't have a distortion analyser so I was thinking of using a DIY sinewave oscillator through a filter to arrive at a good reference and then compare the waveforms on a scope in the add mode and adjust the pots so they cancel out indicating minimum distortion. Problem is, I can...

Not really a "basic" question, but here goes: I'm just reading up on the subject of power factor in electrical supply lines and how as the PF heads down towards zero (as the phase difference between i and v gets more pronounced) more and more power is returned to the generator and how this can be fixed by adding capacitance or inductance in parallel with the load. This struck me as i...

My HP3325A has moved from "working fine" to "brief flash of the LEDs when the power button is pushed, then all goes dark" - and no indication that things are behaving other than the displays (ie, blind button punching does not get outputs.) I have the manual and will work though it, but thought I'd ask if there were any common issues that folks were aware of that I should look for fir...

To All, Several years ago I was looking here for advice about buying an oscilloscope. The unit that got the most votes for my price range and experience was the Tek 465B. So I bought one and then later someone who used to post here sent me the meter kit that Tek used to sell and I installed it on the 'scope. The 'scope is way more than I need and so it has never let me down. Now I think I co...

If anything. http://reliablehomeenergy.net/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/scheme.png They claim that $49 for instructions, $63 for parts get you a single home "magnetic energy generator" designed by Tesla. http://reliablehomeenergy.net/tl I assume the video has an AC coil under the table.

For a simulation situation I need a random number generator with a twist... What I need to simulate is a "random" selection of one-of-16 outputs. Clock "speed" is 12.5kHz ;-) Built of 74HCxx parts is preferred... I have a full ensemble of those device in my PSpice library. Thanks in advance. ...Jim Thompson -- | James E.Thompson ...
