  AUTOMATIC HAND SANITIZER DISPENSER 1. Aim To design and construct an automatic hand sanitizer dispenser using an infrared (IR) sensor and MOSFET-based switching to operate a water pump. 2. Components Used S.N Component Purpose 1 Infrared LED (IR Emitter) Emits invisible IR light toward the detection area 2 Photodiode (IR Receiver) Receives reflected IR light when an object is present 3 IRFZ44N MOSFET Acts as an electronic switch to control the pump 4 Water Pump (3–6V) Dispenses sanitizer liquid 5 Resistors (R1, R2, R3) R1 → limits IR LED current R2 → reverse bias for photodiode R3 → noise control, pulls signal to ground 6 3.7V Lithium-ion Battery Power supply for the entire circuit 3. Circuit Description   ➤ IR Em...

  PIR sensor: fig.(a) experimental circuit diagram fig.(b) power supply fig.(c) relay module fig.(d) pir sensor fig.(e) over all connection here one phase and neutral remains    1. AC to DC Power Supply Section (Left side of the circuit)fig(a) This part converts 230V AC mains to 5V DC , which is needed to power the PIR sensor and the relay section. 1.1 Capacitive Dropper (C1 + R1 + R5) C1 (105J) drops the AC voltage without heating (reactive dropper). R1 (1MΩ) discharges the capacitor when power is off (safety bleed resistor). R5 (100Ω, 1W) limits inrush current and protects the diodes. This replaces a transformer and produces a low-current AC voltage. 1.2 Bridge Rectifier (D1, D2, D3, D4) These four 1N4007 diodes convert AC to DC. 1.3 Filtering Capacitor (C2) Smooths the pulsating DC. Stores charge so PIR sensor gets stable power. 1.4 Zener Regulation (D6 – 5V Zener) Keeps the ...
