September 10, 2009[Ideas For Design] Create A Simple Crowbar To Protect Prototypes From Supply Overvoltage
Designers often test prototypes with a variable-voltage bench power supply. If they leave the bench for any length of time, someone may borrow the supply or otherwise change the voltage to a level that could damage components in the prototype. This problem can be prevented by using a variable-voltage “crowbar” circuit connected across the power-supply terminals along with the prototype under test (...
September 1, 2005[Ideas For Design] Instrument Measures Wire Tension
This instrument measures tension on the wires fixed inside the tubes of the proportional wire chambers used to detect charged particles in high-energy physics research. The material is gold-plated tungsten. The wires measure between 3 and 30 cm long, with a diameter of 50 mm. The nominal value of tension, 200 gmf (grams-force), was to be measured as a quality-control procedure. The two crimped ends of every wire were available for making electrical contacts. A wire was...
