You poor Brits. Here in AZ, commit *any* act that might be construed
as life-threatening, and KABOOM... you're waste material and I walk
;-)

I remember a Brit who was being attacked in Texas
and ran to a home for assistance, the homeowner
hearing a stranger banging frantically at his door
shot the poor guy dead. The homeowner was found
innocent of any wrong doing, just another case of
American "friendly" fire.

Forget the stun gun if the job is too risky get another
job.

Odd, I live in Texas and never read or heard of this one. Can you cite a

Nope. Carrying weapons is on the whole are banned - knives, clubs,
sprays, electric zappers.

If pepper spray were available I'd be more worried about it being used
on me than I would be reassured about being able to use it on someone
else.

We'll see what the new bill before parliament about self defence will

Wow, I didn't realize that. I knew that there was a recent gun ban there,

The most violent dogs are banned too

In your home you can have a big stick and a big knife - they're not
offensive weapons there (the same knife down the back of your trousers
as you walked through a shopping centre would be, but it would be OK
being transported in a bag). How much force you can use and in what
circumstances is a bit hazy - that's what the new legislation will be
about. Lethal force isn't illegal if you feel you life is in danger,
but you can't shoot a burglar in the back as he runs away from you.
Pretty much everything in between is up to the courts.

IANAL

It sounds like you are sort of a game warden then? Here in the US, they are
now called 'wildlife enforcement officers' or, in my state, 'environmental
police' , but we still refer to them as game wardens. A most dangerous job
here in the states. Maybe a video camera is all you need (for evidence for
the court), with night vision capability, and a good zoom lens (so you can
'shoot' from afar).

You will get close to the .25 for the high and low, but the duty cycle for
this circuit at best can only be as low as 55 percent. If you want a truly
50 percent duty cycle, choose equal resistors for R1 and R2. Calculate using
your formula for the period you are wanting using R2 and C, make R1 the same
as R2 and put a diode across pins 6 and seven, anode to pin 6. This way the
cap will only charge through R1 and will, as usual, discharge through R2. I
just went through all this teaching my daughter how to build a 555 astable
circuit.

Hi all,

I'm new to this, but I am trying to make a timer with a .25/sec high and
low. The circuit I'm using doesn't seem to be working. I've triple checked
the wiring with no luck. I'm testing this with an led hooked to pin 3
which
is the output. Then the circuit will be hooked to a relay that has a 5vdc
coil. I think it might be the capacitor I'm using which is rated at 10uF
and 50v. Now everything else is driven from 6-7 vdc, but I thought the
voltage on the cap was it's maximum voltage not an operating voltage. Let
me
know or send me a link to a known working circuit. I'll do some more
checking this morning. When do you use a 330 ohm resistor in line with a
LED?

In the attachment you can see my calculations and some notes. Right now I
am
using two 22k's for the resistors. This should make my timing .30/sec.

Any help is greatly appreciated.


Thanks,

Matt

The way I see it, you are looking for a 500mS period. If you want to keep
your 10uF cap then you will need a total resistance of 50Kohms. So, use a
50K pot for R2 and throw in a 1K resistor for R1.

Just noticed how old this thread is. For some reason I've only just
seen it. And only the responses, not the original. But, FWIW, see also
the basic circuit and timing calculations I've shown at

and come back if you're still interested.

Easy. They draw a lot of current from the battery!
So to say;-)

(about 700 Amps at 12KW overload;-)

Power In = Power Out
Best to get with hobby capabilities: about 90%

Huge amount of Heat, I can tell ;-)

Better use very thick wire!
two wires + and 2 wires gnd(-) 90mm^2 each ;-)

If you have a 100 AHour 12V battery (eg a Battery that will supply

an hour at 12V) this will run this inverter for 100/583 Hours which
works
out at about 10 mins.

The truck had two batts 12v@100Ah, after about 9 mins nominal load

the unit got switched off by teh Low-Voltage-Protection ;-)
