    The document describes an earthquake detector circuit that uses a piezoelectric sensor, IC 555 timer, transistor, buzzer, and LED. When mechanical stress or vibration is applied to the piezoelectric sensor, it generates a small voltage that acts as input to the IC 555 timer. The IC 555 timer then outputs pulses that cause the buzzer to generate sound and the LED to glow, indicating that vibration was detected. The experiment was successful in examining the operation of the earthquake detector circuit.

    Circuit Diagram:
    Theory:
    An earthquake (also known
    a quake, tremor or temblor) is the result of a sudden
    release of energy in the Earth's crust that
    creates seismic waves.
    Piezo is used to describe materials that accumulate a
    charge as a result of the piezoelectric effect. Piezo
    materials, including crystals and ceramics generate a
    Electric voltage in response to an applied mechanical
    Stress and Vibration.
    The IC 555 timer is a one type of chip used in
    different applications like an oscillator, pulse
    generation, timer.
    The operating range of this IC ranges from 4.5V -15V
    DC supply. The functional parts of the 555 timer IC
    include flip-flop, voltage divider and a comparator.
    The main function of this IC is to generate an
    accurate timing pulse.

    Pin Configuration of 555 Time


    Working Principle:
    Eartquake Detector Which has been made by using
    Piezo Electric sensor, IC 555 timer and Transistor
    BC547. As we give some mechanical input to the
    Piezo Electric Sensor in the form of vibration, we get
    the electrical output in the form of voltage. This
    voltage act as input to the IC 555 timer. This IC 555
    gives the pulse output across the Buzzer and LED.
    Buzzer will generate the sound and LED will glow till
    the capacitor is charged.
    Precaution:
    1. Always ensure that all electronics equipment is
    properly grounded
    2. Avoid loose wires and connections.
    3. Make sure your circuit is not overloaded.

    Result and Conclusion:


    While performing an experiment, we observed that
    when we apply mechanical stress and vibration to the
    Piezo Electric sensor, we get input voltage for IC and
    output of the IC is across buzzer and LED. Buzzer
    generate sound and LED glow. Hence we have
    examine the Operation of Earthquake Detection
    successfully.
