Hello seekers! I hope you all are doing great. Today, we are interested to learn about a basic and one of the most crucial topics in the field of electronics that is, the difference between active and passive components. Knowing the difference between these two is not only fruitful for beginners but also helps to understand the output and nature of electrical and electronic devices throughout the circuit design process.While designing electrical or electronic circuits, it is crucial to get the best components. There are different features that affect the performance of these tiny components, i ...
Hey pals! Welcome to the next article where we're studying a gas sensor from the MQ sensor series. Today, we’ll understand the MQ-6 LPG butane gas sensor and will know the basic information about this product. This sensor has sensitivity for gases like LPG, isobutane propane etc and it is widely used to check any leakage of these gases. These are the commonly used gases but any leakage or excessive use may be harmful and even life-threatening. In such cases, sensors like MQ-6 are proved one of the most important devices.
In this article, we’ll start the discussion with the introduction of th ...
The LCD technology is probably one of the ones with the longest-standing history. The LCD display managed to survive for so many years in the market because it’s versatile and flexible. And those are the main qualities a piece of technology should have. Today, consumers are constantly searching for the next gadget to provide them with a completely new experience. And color LCD screens definitely took that assignment seriously.They’ve definitely come a long way since the initial models. It’s almost impossible to even make a comparison between the robust models of the past and the elegant displa ...
Industrial valves have been an integral part of various industries for centuries, enabling the control and regulation of fluid and gas flow. However, the environmental impact of these valves, particularly in relation to leakage and waste generation, has become a growing concern. Let’s explore the significance of addressing the environmental impact of industrial valves and discuss strategies to mitigate leakage and reduce waste. By adopting advanced technologies and implementing effective leak prevention measures, businesses can minimize their ecological footprint while also benefiting economic ...
Hi readers! Welcome to another article where we are discussing the MQ family members. Today, our motto is to learn about the MQ-5 natural liquified petroleum gas (LPG) sensor. The gas sensing material used in this sensor is known as tin dioxide(SnO2). It detects the natural LPG in the surroundings as soon as the core material of this sensor comes in contact with the LPG. This will be explained in simple words in this article.
Today, we’ll start learning about the basic introduction of the MQ-5 natural LPG sensor. After that, we’ll move towards its datasheet element, where we are going to se ...
Hello readers! I hope you are doing great. Today we are discussing the features and details of the MQ-4 methane gas sensor, which belongs to the popular gas sensor MQ family. We have been working on other gas sensors as well, but MQ-4 is particularly suitable for detecting the presence of methane gas. This sensor is more popular because methane gas and compressed natural gas (CNG) are widely used for cooking and other related purposes. MQ-4 methane gas sensor is an important part of the home safety system. Some other advantages of this sensor are, that it responds instantly and has a potentio ...
Hey readers! I hope you are having a good day. Today, we are learning the basics of another MQ sensor family, the MQ-3. This sensor is designed for the detection of alcoholic gases in the air surrounding it. Gas sensors are widely used in multiple applications, and they provide information to the other components of the circuit. In the air, it can detect the 25-500ppm alcohol gas concentration and is a highly sensitive detector. We are going to study it thoroughly from scratch.
In this article, we are going to start the discussion with the basic introduction of this sensor. We’ll understand ...
Hello learners! I hope you are doing good. Today, we are learning about an important member of the gas sensor family, which is the MQ-2. When it comes to detecting or measuring smoke or gas, the MQ series gas sensors are widely used components in circuits. These sensors come with an operational amplitude comparator and a digital output pin therefore, they have applications in multiple fields of life. Mostly, it is used in Arduino projects where it senses the gas and the information is fed into the Arduino to allow the circuit to work according to its digital output.
In this article, we are g ...
Alright, so you know how there's always that little bit of unease when you're working on a super important engineering project? Like, what if something goes haywire and all your precious data gets the evil eye from hackers or goes poof because of some software hiccup? It's legit stressful.
Enter virtualization—think VMware or Hyper-V—savvy engineers are using this tech to build a fortress around their projects. We're not just talking about any ol' security; we’re diving deep into how these platforms can be your digital knights in shining armor, keeping those nasty threats at bay while you foc ...
As an engineer, for almost any project, you will need to spend time thinking about the type of stairs that would suit your building best. So, let’s look at seven options for staircases – followed by some of the most popular choices of stair treads.
1. Straight Stairs
The straight staircase – ah, the good old reliable option! Straight staircases are your bread-and-butter stairs, running directly from one floor to the next without any turns or curves.
