Mosquito Repellent Circuit Diagram
Keep Mosquitoes at Bay!
Introduction:
Mosquitoes are not just annoying, but they can also pose a health risk by
spreading diseases like malaria, dengue, and Zika virus. While there are
various commercial mosquito repellent solutions available in the market,
creating your own DIY mosquito repellent circuit can be a cost-effective and
eco-friendly alternative. In this blog post, we'll guide you through the
process of creating a simple yet effective mosquito repellent circuit diagram
to help you enjoy mosquito-free evenings outdoors.
Materials Needed:Before we dive into the circuit diagram, let's gather the necessary materials:
1. 555 Timer IC
2. 1kΩ Resistor
3. 10kΩ Variable Resistor
4.
0.01μF Ceramic Capacitor
5. 10 pf
6. 9V Battery
7. Battery Clip
8. Breadboard and Jumper Wires
Circuit diagram:
Instructions:
1. 555 Timer Configuration:
- Connect Pin 1 (Ground) to the negative rail of the
breadboard.
- Connect Pin 8 (VCC) to the positive rail of the breadboard,
connecting it to the 9V battery's positive terminal.
2. Transistor and LED:
- Connect the collector (middle pin) of the NPN transistor to
Pin 3 of the 555 Timer IC.
- Connect the emitter (left pin) of the transistor to the
ground rail.
- Connect the anode (longer lead) of the LED to the collector
of the transistor.
- Connect the cathode (shorter lead) of the LED to the ground
rail.
3. Resistor Connections:
- Connect a 10kΩ resistor between Pin 7 (discharge) and Pin 8
(VCC) of the 555 Timer IC.
- Connect a 100kΩ resistor between Pin 7 (discharge) and Pin
6 (threshold) of the 555 Timer IC.
- Connect a 10μF electrolytic capacitor between Pin 5
(Control Voltage) and the ground rail.
- Connect the other 10kΩ resistor between Pin 5 (Control
Voltage) and Pin 2 (Trigger) of the 555 Timer IC.
4. Diode and Capacitor:
- Connect the anode of the 1N4148 diode to Pin 2 (Trigger) of
the 555 Timer IC.
- Connect the cathode of the diode to Pin 6 (threshold) of
the 555 Timer IC.
- Connect a 0.01μF ceramic capacitor between Pin 5 (Control
Voltage) and the ground rail.
5. Power Supply:
- Connect the positive terminal of the 9V battery to the
positive rail of the breadboard using the battery clip.
- Connect the negative terminal of the battery to the ground
rail of the breadboard.
Once you've assembled the circuit as per the diagram and instructions, the LED should start blinking at a frequency that mimics the wing-beat frequency of male mosquitoes, deterring female mosquitoes from approaching.
Conclusion:
With this DIY mosquito repellent circuit, you can create a simple yet
effective solution to keep those pesky mosquitoes at bay during your
outdoor activities. Customize the circuit to suit your needs, and enjoy
mosquito-free evenings without the need for chemical repellents. Stay safe
and mosquito-free!
