  1. Trigger Flash Coil Battery Charging Switch Lecture 10: Disposable Camera Learning Engineering Using Inexpensive Products That May Be Found Around The House Or Apartment or Dorm Room Introduction to Engineering Electronics STOLEN FROM K. A. Connor

  2. Electrical Safety • Note on the diagram of the camera that voltages as high as 320V exist in this circuit • It is current, not voltage, that heats a wire and that causes damage to humans. • The salty fluids of the human body are electrical conductors. • The interior resistance of an arm, from hand to shoulder is about 100 Ohms. Introduction to Engineering Electronics STOLEN FROM K. A. Connor

  3. Electrical Safety • Any voltage across the internal resistance will cause currents to flow and heat to be generated sufficient to cause damage to tissue. • Much more significantly, the nervous system and its means of control over muscles (including the heart) are electrochemical. Thus, damage can occur at currents much less than those necessary to cause burns. Introduction to Engineering Electronics STOLEN FROM K. A. Connor

  4. Electrical Safety:Current Physiological Reaction (60 Hz) Introduction to Engineering Electronics STOLEN FROM K. A. Connor

  5. Electrical Safety • One of the key characteristics that distinguishes an EE, CSE or EPE from other technical professionals is an understanding of electrical safety. • It is particularly important to be able to estimate currents from known voltages, since voltages are easier to measure and generally more controllable. • Thus, if you learn nothing else from IEE, you should learn that: • Ohm’s Law can save your life and the lives of others. Introduction to Engineering Electronics STOLEN FROM K. A. Connor

  6. Electrical Safety:How To Avoid Shock • Estimate voltages and currents and act cautiously. • Resistance of dry skin offers protection below 50 V. Typically, skin inserts 10k to 100k Ohms of resistance between an outside conductor and internal fluids. • Skin provides safe current limiting below 50 V if it is dry. Introduction to Engineering Electronics STOLEN FROM K. A. Connor

  7. Electrical Safety:How To Avoid Shock • When working with voltages above 100 V, exercise great care. • If you must work with these voltages, a famous rule is to keep one hand in your pocket because arm-to-arm current through your heart is much worse neurologically than local currents through one limb. Introduction to Engineering Electronics STOLEN FROM K. A. Connor

  8. Electrical Safety: References Remember the one hand rule • MIT Lab Safety • NASA Lab Safety • Tecra Tools Electrical Safety • University of Tennessee Power Electronics Lab Safety Introduction to Engineering Electronics STOLEN FROM K. A. Connor

  9. Electrical Safety • It is possible to come in contact with high voltages with little permanent harm as long as currents are small. • Stun guns work at voltages typically between 20kV and 150kV and usually do not cause permanent damage since currents are small (a few microamps) and voltages are pulsed (1 microsecond). • We will return to the topic of stun guns at the end of this lecture. Introduction to Engineering Electronics STOLEN FROM K. A. Connor

  10. 2 Minute QuizName______Sec______Date______ • True or false – proper electrical safety procedures require that we always know at least approximately what currents we will encounter in a circuit. Introduction to Engineering Electronics STOLEN FROM K. A. Connor

  11. Disposable Camera Electronics • This is the circuit you will be building in the lab using a disposable camera. Introduction to Engineering Electronics STOLEN FROM K. A. Connor

  12. Trigger Flash Coil Battery Charging Switch Disposable Camera Electronics • This is the circuit mentioned in lecture 6 which can be used to launch a piece of a paper clip up to 50 feet. • The coil is soldered in series with the flash tube. Introduction to Engineering Electronics STOLEN FROM K. A. Connor

  13. Disposable Camera Electronics • There are many different types of disposable cameras. All open differently. • Once you remove the film for processing (this can be done by the developer), you can use the remaining circuit and battery. Introduction to Engineering Electronics STOLEN FROM K. A. Connor

  14. Disposable Camera Electronics • Note that the capacitor can still be charged, even if the camera has not been used for a while. Many cameras automatically charge between shots. Capacitor Introduction to Engineering Electronics STOLEN FROM K. A. Connor

  15. Disposable Camera Electronics Flash Tube Capacitor • The circuit board, once removed, is quite simple. • Shown above are both the top and bottom views of the circuit board. Transformer Introduction to Engineering Electronics STOLEN FROM K. A. Connor

  16. Disposable Camera Electronics • The cover can be pried off. • Once you remove the cover, observe how the mechanical apparatus works (gears, shutter, lens, springs, etc). • You may find these useful in applications. Introduction to Engineering Electronics STOLEN FROM K. A. Connor

  17. Disposable Camera Electronics • The Exploratorium recommends that you use rubber gloves to avoid shock. • Pry off the case using a screwdriver • You should be able to set the shutter mechanism using intact gears, etc. • You can recharge the capacitor using the charge button (or short across the pads). Introduction to Engineering Electronics STOLEN FROM K. A. Connor

  18. Disposable Camera Electronics • While charging, you should hear a high pitched whine. This is the oscillator circuit. • Fire the circuit by triggering the shutter – the flash should go off. Introduction to Engineering Electronics STOLEN FROM K. A. Connor

  19. Disposable Camera Electronics • The oscillator produces a time varying voltage (sort of sinusoidal) from the 1.5V battery. • A time varying voltage is necessary to produce a high voltage using a transformer. • The high voltage output from the transformer is rectified using diodes to produce a high DC voltage to charge a capacitor. Introduction to Engineering Electronics STOLEN FROM K. A. Connor

  20. Disposable Camera Electronics • Once the high voltage (320V) capacitor is charged, a small neon bulb will light up. • The charging is then stopped either manually (you stop pushing on the charge switch) or automatically. • Then when the shutter is engaged, a switch is closed which triggers the flash lamp. Introduction to Engineering Electronics STOLEN FROM K. A. Connor

  21. Disposable Camera Electronics • The flash lamp has three electrodes: • Two connected across the high voltage capacitor • One connected to a pulse transformer • The third electrode provides a short very high voltage pulse to ionize the xenon gas in the flash tube. Once the gas is ionized, it will carry current and discharge the capacitor. The current from the capacitor provides the energy for the high intensity light. Introduction to Engineering Electronics STOLEN FROM K. A. Connor

  22. Disposable Camera Electronics • This is the circuit diagram for the camera used in the lab. Introduction to Engineering Electronics STOLEN FROM K. A. Connor

  23. Disposable Camera Electronics • A transformer is used to step up or step down voltages and currents. Introduction to Engineering Electronics STOLEN FROM K. A. Connor

  24. Disposable Camera Electronics • The secondary voltage V2 is equal to N times the primary voltage V1. Introduction to Engineering Electronics STOLEN FROM K. A. Connor

  25. Disposable Camera Electronics • The turns ratio N is equal to the ratio of the number of secondary windings to the number of primary windings. For a step up transformer this ratio is greater than 1. Introduction to Engineering Electronics STOLEN FROM K. A. Connor

  26. Disposable Camera Electronics • You will also connect a trigger circuit in the lab to make the camera flash when light levels change. To operate the circuit, you need 5V which is obtained from the battery using a DC-DC converter. Introduction to Engineering Electronics STOLEN FROM K. A. Connor

  27. Disposable Camera Electronics • The lab circuit again Introduction to Engineering Electronics STOLEN FROM K. A. Connor

  33. Stun Guns • Outer electrodes must come in contact with attacker. • Inner electrodes are closer together and thus can spark at the high voltages used to deter attackers. Introduction to Engineering Electronics STOLEN FROM K. A. Connor

  34. Stun Guns: What is Inside? • This is what is inside a cheap stun gun (provided by someone who likes to take things apart). Introduction to Engineering Electronics STOLEN FROM K. A. Connor

  35. Stun Guns: What is Inside? • Oscillator voltage is stepped up to a fairly high voltage with a transformer. • This is used to charge a capacitor through a rectifier made with four diodes. Introduction to Engineering Electronics STOLEN FROM K. A. Connor

  36. Stun Guns: What is Inside? • When the voltage across the capacitor is high enough to spark across the gap, a short pulse is created across the primary of a pulse transformer and a large voltage pulse results. Introduction to Engineering Electronics STOLEN FROM K. A. Connor

  37. Stun Guns: What is Inside? • The spark gap is simply the two pieces of metal strip in a cross shape. A much larger spark gap was used in the can crusher discussed in lecture 7. Introduction to Engineering Electronics STOLEN FROM K. A. Connor

  38. Stun Guns: What is Inside? • The first transformer is shown at the left. • The pulse transformer is shown at the right. Note that it is potted so that it can operate at higher voltages. Introduction to Engineering Electronics STOLEN FROM K. A. Connor
