Well one day i was in my cousin's house.................Well just then i saw a old computer ...........full of dust on it. I asked "whose computer is this, is this working?" to my Aunt.....well she said "hey thats ours......but it isnt working!!! I thought "Wow CPU!!! I wish i had one for experimenting"....I know these thoughts shouldnt have come to my brain.....but what to do .......it does.......So after a long time(after 4 to 5 months)...........i had a call from my aunt saying that. " you can take away that old computer if you want".....Woah....I was totally excited.....This is what it is in this picture......I am working on it....the low level stuff......device drivers, kernel, Operating System..........I Love this !!!

Electronica!!

WOW it Looks like a CD!!!

Well when my dad bought a computer when i was in middle school....i was very fond and fascinated by this device ..............the first thing i did was play games....more games......well at that time the comp's config was too bad pentium 1, 32mb ram, and then no video card thats it... I was always curious about the CPU or the cabinet where motherbaord and all the components are present....so one fine day i opened the Cabinet.........i was totally blank i didnt understand anything what was there inside the cabinet .........and then gradually i asked my cousins who were studying computer science.....they told me not to open it again......but i became even more curious when i knew what was motherboard , what was harddisk.......well first thing i did was removed the hard disk............from the cabinet....and then i slowly opened the harddsk outer part.....well thats the picture what you are looking at the old hard disk which i had spoiled......well when i opened it i said "WOW it Looks like a CD!!! and then i fixed it back ..and finally when i switched on the computer......................everything gone my DAd's files had gone everything even my games.....music.....................Everything....................oh that was the first time i thought to never play with computer components...............After 4 years i.e when i was in first PUC ....i assembled a computer.

FM Transmitter:


Well this is one of my first projects which i did it when i was in high school.......its just a FMreceiver and transmitter. Well it took 3 days to complete it......because it was my first project and i wasnt familiar with all the components..........well it worked and then first thing i did was i broadcastd my voice...........it was a total fun for me .....and then i used it as an wireless headset.....for listening to audio while watching movies...............it was awesome at that time.......
Actually i first did this on a breadboard and then to PCB.
Regulator or 4v battery charger:



Ok well after a long break i built this regulator .....i had a torch which had a battery of capacity 4.2v ......it was rechargeable... i meddled with the torch finally i couldnt assemble it back so i removed the battery and i wanted to manually charge it.... i mean having my own circuit to charge this battery, so i built this one, it just gives 5v dc output...and it takes approx 10hr to charge this battery.......it was an awesome experience with this project as i got to know how to rectify the A.C input.......and also the FILTER part.......still i use this to charge that battery.

This is my ELECTRONIC WORKBENCH
