Clap operated Remote Control for Fans
Here is the circuit of clap-operated remote control fans is used to control not only switching properties but also control speed of fan. The main advantage of clap operated remote control for fan is, it can control up to ten-step speeds of fan where normally a fan has three to five step speeds.
Circuit description clap operated remote control for fan
This entire circuit clap operated remote control for fan is divided into four major section i.e. sound-operated trigger pulse generator, clock pulse generator, clock pulse counter and load operator.
Sound-operated trigger pulse: - The heart of this section is transistor T1 BC148, configured as class-C amplifier mode. The MIC1 is used to change voice signal into its corresponding electrical signal and is given to base of transistor T1 in order to amplify and increase its intensity.
Clock pulse generator:- This section is build around timer IC NE555 and configured as monostable multivibrator. The trigger pulse generated by transistor T1 is given to pin 2 of IC1 and time period (T) for output high is calculated by formula.
T = 1.1RC
Clock Pulse counter:- This section is build around decade counter CD4017BC which counts the clock pulse generated by timer IC (IC1). The output from IC1 is given to pin 14 of IC2. IC2 has ten outputs, viz, o, 1, 2, 3, 4…..9. Here we use only three outputs i.e. output 1, 2 and 3 from pin 2, 4, and 7 respectively. Output 4 from pin 10 is directly connected to reset pin 15.
Load operator:- This section is build around three transistor as relay driver to operate three separate relay. Output from each pin of IC2 is given to base of each transistor through 100Ω and LED as shown in circuit diagram. Output is taken from collector of transistor and is connected to relay. The three LEDs used to indicate gear or speed i.e. LED1, LED2 & LED3 indicates gear 1, gear 2 & gear 3 respectively.
NOTE:-This circuit used to operate in 1st speed similarly, 2nd clap for 2nd speed, 3rd clap for 3rd speed and 4th clap to switch off the fan.

what is the cost of this total kit?
i would like to contact you for association
I highly appreciate your efforts. Great applause to your talent and creations.
A very good project.. however i wish to know where the actual AC load will be connected..?
The load is connected to output of relay!
hoe to reduce the intensity? i mean after 5 claps we reach 5th level and then we want to come back to 4th level…what to do ?
What kind of relay we can use? Will you please let me know about the relays?
what kind of relay we can use use?plz tell me
what relay used this project
bel 187 tranistor is not available so is there any compatible with?
how to increase or decrease the sensitivity of mic ?
Please tell me about the use of relays at the end, i dont get its connection ,and why are we connecting two terminals of coil and leaving the switches of the relay unconnected.
load value of this circuit
hai this is good but , u have used 3 relays can you say how they work as regulators ( parllel or Series )
What kind of relay we can use? Will you please let me know about the relays?
interesting project.. plz give me information about which relays are used
my circuit is not operating on clap, what’s d problem?
which relay is used in this circuit there is no proper discreption of relays. so please tell me about relays…..
how we connect this to fan?
You have used relays in this circuit but there is no specification for relays(is that SPDT). I am very much confused.I am new to electronics if I asked anything wrong please forgive me;
what kind of relay we can use?
Sir, please say us which relays must be used?
