Earth Quake Alarm Circuit

design of earthquake sensor

Here is a simple project called earth quake alarm circuit. This circuit is divided into two sections. Geo mechanical detector (Earth quake sensor) Alarm circuit The earth quake alarm circuit is based on the principle that earth quake create slow and suddenly vibration. In order to detect this vibration geo mechanical detector is used. The construction of geo mechanical detector is shown in figure 2. Alarm Circuit | Earth Quake Alarm Circuit The alarm circuit is built around dual input, 4 NAND IC (CD4011) and a NPN transistor. Input of…

Speech Filter Circuit

circuit diagram of speech bandpass filter using LM387

A speech filter circuit is a broadband filter and is also called a wide bandpass filter circuit because its bandwidth is restricted to the speech frequency. It can be formed by simple cascading high pass and low pass section and is generally the choice for simplicity of design and performance through such a circuit can be realized by a number of the possible circuits. The butter-worth filter is generally used in audio systems which are characterized by a maximally flat-flat filter. Description of Speech Filter Circuit: A speech filter using…
