Travel Touch Alarm

The Travel Touch Alarm can be used to provide a audible alarm when someone touches the door knob or handle of your hotel room. The door knob or handle must be made of metal for the circuit to work. The main chip in the circuit is a 555 timer which will be triggered if a hand comes close to or touches the door knob. The circuit attaches to the door knob at the end of the 1 meg ohm resistor. Once the timer is triggered the LED will light and the UJT will output a tone to the speaker. The timer will time out in 5 seconds. The sensitivity of the trigger can be changed by changing the 1 meg ohm resistor to another value. The 5 second time out can be adjusted by changing the value of the resistor connected between pin 8 and pin 7. The output tone can be changed by changing the RC values on the base of the UJT.

British Police Car Siren by IC 555
This month I am making 3 different types of siren circuits based on the 555 timer. The first circuit simulates the siren of a British police car. It uses two 555 timers in the circuit. The 555 on the right is wired as an alarm tone generator and the second 555 timer on the left is a 1 Hz astable ...
Circuit Door Buzzer by NE555 + LM386
Someday I goes to visit a friend. He begs me helps to seek electric bell front door circuit. In model to be simple, use the a little equipment. I then choose the Door Buzzer circuit this give. Because of use , IC NE555 produce electric bell sound and use IC LM386 for amplify talk at o ...
American Police Car Siren by IC 555
The second circuit simulates the siren of an American police car. It uses two 555 timers in the circuit. The 555 on the right is wired as an alarm tone generator and the second 555 timer on the left is wired as a low frequency astable timer which generates a ramp waveform of about 6 seconds that ...
Powerful Siren by BC337
This circuit was requested by several correspondents. Its purpose was to obtain more power than the siren circuit already available on this website since many years (One-IC two-tones Siren) and to avoid the use of ICs. A complementary transistor pair (Q2 & Q3) is wired as a high efficiency osci ...
Annoying high pitch noise generator by 555
This is a simple high pitch noise generator circuit. It has a timer oscillator with a frequency variable from 15khz - 30khz. The circuit can be mounted in a plastic box like I have done. The good thing about high frequency sounds is that it is very hard to find where they are coming from. A ...
