Touch Alarm

Touch the sensor of the alarm with your finger and it starts
beeping, goes on for some time and then stops. Touching it
again, and it goes again! This circuit consists of a touch sensor
and a directly coupled transistor amplifier with a small
loudspeaker as the output load. Two sensor strips of metal are
mounted side by side on a 11 cm size mica sheet and
connected to the input of the circuit.
Under normal conditions no current flows through switching
transistors T1 and T2 and the potential across capacitor C1 is
almost 0V. If the two touch plates are touched together by a
finger, the alarm circuit is enabled by T1 and T2. Transistors
T3and T4 form a complimentary pair amplifier, with positive
feedback (regeneration) provided to the base of first transistor
T3 via R3 and C2.
The sound generator oscillates at a frequency determined by
C2 and R3 and the bias voltage of T3. The bias voltage of T3
can be changed by changing the values of R2 (and R1). The
alarm will provide quite loud audio output into an 8 Ohm
speaker with a 9V battery at a current drain of less than
100mA.
