MAJOR FLAW.

Would this work? (Improved?)

Ooops! I meant this: ( will this work?)

If you have to run the cable to the remote buzzer why not just parallel the bell ??

He is trying to pick off 1.4v but I think he needs 2 more diodes in that shunt around the bridge because .7 v will be lost in the bridge. I doubt the door bell that exists will miss the 2.1v he is stealing but it might not quite as loud. I do think I would go another way tho. How much current does the 1.4v load need?

Perhaps a circuit between the capacitor and the 'buzzer' with say a battery (supply) would suffice. The capacitor voltage would only indicate that the (a) button was depressed. High input impedance between the capacitor and the (powered) buzzer or chime or etc.

I have the polarity of the bridge reversed.

Seems like a lot of work when you could just use a LM317 to drop the voltage, one diode to rectify the signal and a capacitor to smooth things out. Hooked up in parallel to the existing chime.

I do not know what you are talkin' about.

The LM317 is s 3 terminal to220 device, an adjustable voltage regulator so that could be used to lower the voltage and instead of the full wave diodes use 1 for a half wave supply, with a decent cap that would be Ok for your purpose.

I still don't know what your talking about. I'll just by a button together with a remote chime, ok? And BTW, I don't have a purpose. I live in a pre

-manufactured house and can hear anyone knock on the door anywhere I am in my home.

See if you can find a dolphin instead.

Yeah... they almost respond the same. Take you from point A to point B.

One just wiggles in the water a bit differently than the other.

You could make a doorbell that has the sound of "Flipper" when the button is pressed. You'd have to be old enough to remember what sound I refer to though.

And you can then sell it in Japan for a huge profit. If you can handle the fact that they want to eat it. :-)
