MOSQUITO REPELLANT

They will be swarming once again, the unwanted, winged torturers, looking for the victims and leaving behind swelling and itch! The mosquito problem is a part of everyday life, espacially during the summer. Since the immemorial, inventive people have struggled hard to find effective means of protection against these insects. Even though it is a fact that only the females are dangerous, the males can also create situations of panic by their humming. Scientists say that these and many other insects find some particular frequencies of sound very unpleasent abd run away from these frequencies. It seems quite obvious then, that by creating these insects frequencies electronically, we should be able to repel these insects! The most important point to remember here is that, unfortunately, this method has so far not been completely sucessfull. Whereas one group of insects can be made to run away at frequencies around 5 KHz, other types may desert only at higher frequencies, about 10 to 20 KHz. For some types, all the frequencies may fall on deaf ears! Yet other theories propose that in fact some frequencies may even attract them instead of repelling. Whatever may be the truth, trial is superior to just theorising. Even though the cost of our circuit may prove to be a wrong investment, as the population of mosquitoes and insects who are immune to our insects/mosquito repellant is likely to be predominant ! The loss is very high - four resistors, two capacitors, two transistors and a buzzer.
THE CIRCUIT

The Astable Multivibrator, which is generally used as a signal generator, is once again used here to generate the desired frequencies. It is an excellent example of the fact, how versatile simple basic electronic circuit can be. Let us quicklt see the operation of the astable multivibrator circuit. When T1 is conducting T2 is off and when T2 is conducting, T1 is off. The capacitors C1 and C2 contributes decisively to this ON/OFF cycles for the transistors T1 and T2. The time taken by C1 and C2 to charge and discharge decides the shape of the output waveform. Another important factor in the operation of the circuit is the fact that the transistor goes into conduction only when the base-emitter voltage exceeds 0.7 volts (for silicon transistors). From this basic knowledge we can visualise how the transistors exchange their roles and how the voltage on the collector of each transistor jumbs between the lower and upper level, producing a rectangular waveform. If you take a close look at circuit, you will notice that C1 and C2 are not equal. They differ in their values by afactor of four. The output signal will thus be a non symmetrical waveform. Such a non symmetrical signal contains more high frequency harminics compered to the normal square wave signal. The output of our circuit will have the basic frequency of 5 KHz along with harminics of 10, 15 and 20 KHz. If some insects are deaf to frequencies upto 5 KHz, they may react to 10 KHz or 15 KHz or even 20 KHz, one never knows ... The piezo buzzer used should not have an internal oscillator built into it. The circuit consumes 0.3 ma current, and can give about 1500 hours of nonstop operation.

Here is a mosquito repellent electronic project with circuit diagram. This circuit uses a Timer IC 555 and few resistors, capacitors. You can build this circuit in a very less cost and this circuit keeps mosquito and insects away from you. What is the use of electronic mosquito repellent? You can use this circuit when you are in an outdoor but you dont want mosquito biting you. This circuit or project can help you by keeping the mosquito and similar other insects and creatures away from you using a high frequency sound produced by this circuit. How does this electronic mosquito repellent works? Then main principle in which this electronic mosquito repellent works is that mosquito and insects are highly sensitive to some frequency of sound and they dont like the sound. And insects and mosquito will leave or get away from you due to the annoying sound. But the sound it produces is of high frequency which cannot be heard by humans so you will not be affected by the sound. In the circuit timer IC 555(ic 1) is used as an oscillator it generates frequency of 200 HZ to 62 KHz, The working frequency of the circuit can be set by rotating preset resistor (R2), and the speaker converts the electronic frequency to sound frequency. Try to keep the frequency of the sound as high as possible. And make sure you dont hear the sound of this circuit by keeping it above 20 KHZ, The annoying sound will be heard by insects but not by you because humans dont normally hear sound of frequency higher than 20 KHz. This circuit requires an input voltage of around 5 V, you can also use input voltage of up to 9 V. And please use a speaker of good quality in the circuit, using good quality speaker will ensure that the project will work. Circuit diagram and parts list:

With the return of the fine weather, youll doubtless be enjoying lazing around of an evening on your patio or in your garden, but even if youre not surrounded by marshes or other shallow water its very likely some intruding mosquitoes will come along to spoil this idyllic scene. Although indoors its easy to get rid of them these days, indeed even to prevent them coming into the house, the same cant be said for the great outdoors. We might mention the well-known Chinese coils the only thing Chinese about them is undoubtedly their name which very often drive people away as much as mosquitoes, if not more! Moreover they are nasty things to handle.

There are also UV (ultra-violet) electrocutors consisting of a blue lamp surrounded by two closelyspaced grilles between which a high voltage is applied. The mosquitoes (and fies and other flying insects) are supposedly attracted by the color of the lamp and as they approach, get electrocuted in contact with the two grilles. The only thing you have to do is pull out the drawer from time to time and get rid of the mass of dead insects. Even though the effectiveness of these first two products remains questionable, it is less so than the one were nonetheless going to describe here.

Were talking about an ultrasonic mosquito repellent. The principle, as described by its numerous promoters, is as follows. Only the female mosquitoes bite (that at least is an undisputed scientific fact) and they bite when they need to feed, and above all, to feed their eggs. In this situation, they seek to avoid the males whose job has already been done, and so they fy away from the frequencies emitted by the males when they are on heat. This is where opinions now diverge.

Circuit diagram:

Environment-friendly Mosquito Repeller Circuit Diagram According to certain publications, the frequency emitted by the male mosquitoes is said to be around 2025 kHz, and so within the realm of ultrasound. But according to others, it is in the region of 57 kHz instead; frequencies that a human ear, even an elderly one, can still hear very well. Rather than spending lots of money (of the order of tens of pounds) buying such a device, which moreover generally have a fixed frequency, were suggesting building one yourself so that you can carry out your own research this summer, especially since the circuit proposed is very simple and cheap to build. As the figure shows, it uses just a single IC, a CMOS type 4047. This very multi-purpose IC can be wired in very many operating modes, including that of the multivibrator or astable used here. The operating frequency is set by the external components C1, R1, and P1; the latter makes it possible to slightly adjust the frequency, given the uncertainty that exists over the most efective valueTo best reproduce the high frequencies produced by the generator, the output transducer used is a simple tweeter, but it must be a piezo one. Such a tweeter behaves in fact much like a capacitor, and so doesnt overload the CMOS IC outputs that are incapable of supplying a substantial current, as everyone knows whos ever worked with 400 series CMOS logic. To obtain an output signal of sufficient amplitude while being powered from a single 9 V battery, this tweeter is connected between the 4047s Q and Q outputs, making it possible to apply complementary (antiphase) signals to the tweeter so it sees an alternating voltage of double the supply voltage. In purely theoretical terms, this quadruples the output power available. In practice, its better to regard it as tripling it, but the beneft achieved by doing it this way is nonetheless very real. All that remains is for you to place the project in the middle of the patio table or beside your lounger in order to get a taste of the calm of a summers evening without mosquitoes bothering you acoustically or worse, biting. At any rate, thats what we wish for you
