How do you make a circuit that keeps a solenoid on for at least 24 hours and turns off and can be easily be changed to different intervals with a switch like 6 hours maybe a 4060b ic or a pic?

No doubt either of those approaches would certainly work. Personally, since I don't see well enough to wire a CMOS board, and I don't know how to program a PIC, I would probably go to the big 'home improvement' store and buy a couple of timers. One of them has to be the kind with two AC outlets ... one normally on and one normally off. -- If the interval you want is less than 24 hours, then all you need is a simple kitchen timer. If it's more than 24 hours, then you can do it like this: -- Plug the 'double-throw' timer into the wall. Plug an ordinary kitchen timer into its normally-off outlet. -- Now here comes the part where you need to understand electronics and know how to use solder and black tape: Attach two AC line cords in parallel to whatever supply you use to power your solenoid. -- Plug one line cord into the normally-on outlet of the first timer, and the other line cord into the kitchen timer. -- Set both timers so that their sum adds up to the interval you want. While the double-throw timer is running, it powers the solenoid power supply, and the kitchen timer is unpowered. When the first timer expires, its two outlets flip. The kitchen timer starts running, and it powers the solenoid supply until it too expires. This rig can run any interval from very short to almost 48 hours. Sometimes I'm so clever I make myself sick. Especially in the abstract. I'll leave you to work out the kinks and the bugs and actually make it work. That should be no problem for a guy who can work with CMOS ICs and PICs.

What is the function of timer in an electric circuit?

Answer A timer is used to time things. For example if you think of how many truck there are rolling down our highways it would be amazing, but they are on a timer of sorts. They have to deliever on time or they get penilized for being late. Timers are used on inside and outside lights, there are tons of uses for timers.

How does a clockwork egg timer work?

A clockwork egg timer works by using a spring mechanism that slowly unwinds over a set amount of time. When the timer is set, the spring tightens, causing the timer to count down until the spring fully unwinds and a bell or chime alerts that the time is up.
