@ranasingheum1 This circuit responds to a lightning induced electromagnetic signal simultaneously. It has an impulse lenght set to 100 ms to drive the counter, but overall it triggers in the same time as the lightning goes off. So as I have no feedback to a control circuit (a camera shutter for ex.) I can't speak about reaction time. The alarm relay only triggers when the integrated level reaches a certain voltage, that means approx 5 impules per second.
Hello, thats a pretty cool detector. Maybe not selling the unit outright, but perhaps building an extra one or a spare and selling it to someone who is interested in one. I really like it and would love to have you build up one for me. Won't really need everything you have in yours, like I could do without the counter part. I can always add that in as I have a couple of LCD display projects that are counters. Give you a Srtike alert and HT Icon radio for one :) Maybe we talk? 73's
Me too, that is a nice unit. I'd give a pocket Strike Alert if he builds me one of them. Much better than the ones I have and use. I have a few Strike Alerts and would gladly give up one..
@MegaSkybug Well... Thank you all for your words :) ...this is a prototype. It needs some fine tunings, and I still have to work a bit on the design. This unit works very fine, but still it's sensitive for other sources of interference (bad electrical connections that make electric arcing). But overall it's good and reliable. ...I had no intention of making the device as a model for sale, but if someone is interested in it, we could talk about it. Best regards! Pityu
Can you share the schematic diagram of this circuit ?

can you tell me about the reaction time of this circuit???

@ Xantophia...I wish my lightning detector worked that good.

Nice job on the lightning detector project. That came out pretty cool looking. I'd pay you money if you made me one of them. 73's
