Automotive Ignition Coil – Video Tutorial

Below is video tutorial about automotive ignition coil. The coil is composed of primary and secondary circuit. The primary circuit is consist of two terminals. It’s connected to the steady 12 volts battery and ignition module or ECM. The secondary circuit is connected to the spark and carry a high voltage. The ECM module will always looks for returning voltages […]

Remote Sensor System Pre-Amp

Remote sensor might cause a trouble if it’s a passive type, has very low power output, and should be connected with relatively long cables. By supplying a current or voltage source through its connection wire, it’s possible to make long enough wiring without suffering much noise/interference. The following schematic diagram show a circuit consist of LM10 to make a remote […]

Flame Detector With Platinum-Rhodium Thermocouple

In furnace operation, it is necessary to make sure that the fuel or gas is ignited properly by detecting the flame. If there’s no flame detected, the situation can be dangerous if the furnace is flooded with explosive gas, so the fuel/gas supply valve should be closed automatically to avoid catastrophic disaster.  A thermocouple can be use to detect flame, […]
