@dmfraser14444 years ago The IC is a dual power amp and the circuit is a bridge mode power amplifier. the DC output to the motor is a net zero V when the two CDS photo resistive cells received the same amount of light. If one cell gets more light and the other less, the output to the motor leads is unbalanced and the motor turns until balance is restored. The two cells and the two resistors form what is called a bridge circuit.
The use of the speaker is a distraction. It is merely used as a convenient stand for the motor and the rest of the circuit.
In the electronics education system this is the sort of impressive little project the students in a high school technology class will build for educational purposes. Technology wise it is a really simple circuit and definitely not an invention as the principle of the bridge circuit has been known since the around 1833. But because it moves, it impresses the heck out of non-technology minded people.
Definitely worthwhile for a high student interested in some hands on electronics knowledge. I started with similar level stuff in the 1960s and made a successful career out of it. ... 155

@glennkrieger2 years ago This project works as described. I've built several. I had to as the D2822 chip kept burning out due to the motors back EMF. I eventually solved this problem by using 2 1N4007 (or 1N4001 will work too) diodes placed in opposite directions on the negative and positive wires just before they enter the motor. This has permanently fixed the problem for me and after using multiple motors and batteries to see what works best the circuit still works excellent. ... 17

@dennisdahl34 years ago You nailed it man! Long time ago (45 years) I thought about using op-amps similarly. Add another motor at a vertical vector and you got a full access solar tracker. thank you for realizing my imagination. 35

@SciHeartJourney4 years ago This type of prototype is called the "dead bug".
A better title would be, "Dead-Bug Solar Tracker".
Very cool project for little kids. For adults, this is a good practical circuit one can scale up with some modifications. ... 22

@murrayanderson11134 years ago Made something similar in high school (like 25 years ago) that actually tracked an 18volt 100W solar panel with 2 solar wafers cells and a solar plant rotator. The solar wafers were connected positive of one to negative of the other and the same to the other side. The plant rotator had a motor and gearbox in it and when the light hit both panels at the same time, the circuit was balance. But when one panel got more light than the other, one panel became the source and the other a load and rotated the base until the circuit was balanced again. No battery required. ... 84

@danglss763 years ago Immediately bought a tube of 2822 ic,'s,gathered up the ldrs from walkways that had them , some mini motors and lipos I've been collecting. Next I dialed up my kids and a couple friends and we had hobby night. What a great time ,they all worked perfect.. thank you ...

@tajammulhussainKhadir4 years ago Wow, excellent circuit.
With torch light working fine as shown in the video, can it be used with sunlight solar panels ? 1
@

@davidwootton6834 years ago Thankyou for taking the trouble to share this fun project with us. This can be scaled up to run a larger array. What is nice about this one is that it is simple, and it works. Kind regards and greetings from Africa. 1
@

@dffabryr4 years ago Great!! thank you. Just in case, to protect the IC you should add damper diodes with their catodes pointing to the motor. If the panel is larger, so the motor, so you should add transistor drivers at the IC outputs. 20

@sreekumarUSA4 years ago Greetings from California. Thank you for the design , meaning the placement of passive components in symmetrical order. This process require a lot of intelligence and care. Great.
The Electronics involved is flabbergasting. Simple, but very effective, sensitive and innovative. I find that this design concept can be incorporated for various “OTHER” purposes, like instead of light activation it can be made to audio activation and then into relay controlled many systems. ( I don’t want to elaborate due sensitive infringement) Specebo. ... 3

@

@raisagorbachov4 years ago Adding a second axis would be worthwhile. That way the panels could do vertical as well as horizontal travel. Some kind of switch (my preference would be a magnet with a magnetic switch) to stop it turning too far in any direction. Might need to add diodes to make that work.
It's a great basic idea BUT it needs to be strong to withstand wind (which means heavy which means yet more power consumption).
The video title kinda made me think I was going to be viewing one of those free energy from random components glued together joke videos. ... 15

@samueljames93424 years ago Cute, the one I built isn't a quite as responsive but then its moving a 250 pound solar water panel. I just use 1 4x6 inch solar panel and a couple solid state relays to do the job.
