This generator uses avalanche noise, and is based on a design by Will Ware. Herein are instructions as to how you can use a pic chip to analyze a noise source and output random data serially. I`ve included circuit diagrams as well as links to instructions for fabricating your own board. There are two types of random numbers: true and pseudo. Pseu

do random numbers are created by an algorithm. The problem with this is that if someone knows what algorithm you use, it is theoretically possible predict what numbers you will create. True random number generators create sequences that are impossible to predict. They use random physical phenomenon as their source or randomness. They are used for encryption and micro psychokinesis research. "This circuit uses avalanche noise in a reverse-biased PN junction, the emitter-base junction of the first transistor. The second transistor amplifies it. The first two ALS04 inverters are biased into a linear region where they act like op amps, and they amplify it further. The third inverter amplifies it some more. " The Pic chip is for analyzing the noise and sending out random bits. I used a 16F648A because it has a comparator. The signal going into the pic has fuzz between 1 and 2 volts and spikes that go up to 3 volts. It`s these spikes we want to measure. The comparator will cut out the fuzz and interrupt the pic whenever there is a spike. (I tried the pic`s ADC but the comparator seemed more responsive). The pic code works like this: the pic records the number of spikes it detects in a short time interval. If there are an even number of spikes it outputs a 1, an odd number a zero. Also, the board has input for two switches. These control the output mode and the XOR mask. The mode switch sets the generator to output either random...
This project fits more for custom made battery casing that can have more space to hide things inside. This switch with few alterations can be used for any other project as well but is designed based on e-bike needs! This project use a clever functionality of....
The circuit described here uses ultrasonic oscillations and operates based on the propagation velocity of these oscillations in the air. Thus, we can easily determine the distance of two points if the time within which the wave travels this distance is....
Sometimes the precious metals are hidden too deep and are not detected except with complicated devices. In many cases, however, small pieces of precious metal buried near the surface can be detected by relatively simple means. Everyone is very attractive to....
Many times for various reasons we forget or can not water the plants that we have in our homes. And many humidity sensors units just notify us with a beeping sound or with a flashing light, that the pot needs watering. But what if we are away from home? This....
The principle behind a metal detector is really very simple. Proof of this is the circuit that follows, in which it proves that the construction of a metal detector can be done in the minute, with few components that we find very easily everywhere. With the....
The sub-harmonic bass generator is a sound producing unit for guitars. The sound it produces looks very much like that of the bass guitar. The octave generator is sometimes quite unusual since it does not produce any of the usual ways of coloring the sound,....
In the past the sounding (sea bottom measurement) was done with the "bullet", that is, with a heavy lead object that the seamen plucked into the sea hung from a calibrated rope. As soon as the "bullet" reached the bottom, the depth appeared directly from the....
This Amplifier was designed to have the following specifications: Distortion less than 0.1% at full power of 100W even at 20KHz. Power has to be attributed to an extended bandwidth. The output transistors must be protected against short circuits. The power....
A series of LEDs serve to alert the gardener when plants need water. Using two conventional digital integrated LEDs and a series of LEDs, we make a very useful device for gardening. The device detects the amount of water in the pot and alerts the grower.....
