  1. http://optronik.tripod.com/cgi-bin/loader.pl?pe_catcam.htm

    heres a fun project that i think could progress a lot if it was added here at electronics lab
    id like to do it, but i have no idea how to start programming microcontrolers
    my goal here would be to rework this project to be easier, with just a timer instead of a microcontroller, and add it to the projects here.
    but first id need some help with timers, becouse i dont know how to do that
    im going to contact the guy and see what he thinks about this

  2. ha
    funny story
    speaking of capacitors, though, couldnt you charge a ceramic capacitor with a 9v so that it is charged up beyond 9vs and then fire? just considering that you dont really want to fire that rapidly.
    or you could have a couple of capacitors charging up while you werent using it, and when you got into a more vicous battle you would have several shots saved up.
    and speaking of the vents, wouldnt the explode at much less current if there were no vents? i was thinking you could heatshrink it
    as far as a more complex and more efficient circuit, i have no idea. but if i thought about it a lot i think i could get the mechanics worked out

  3. okay, im not asking you anymore, but ive tried a 2n4922 (http://www.onsemi.com/pub/Collateral/2N4921-D.PDF)
    and a 2n6037
    http://pdf1.alldatasheet.com/datasheet-pdf/view/21704/STMICROELECTRONICS/2N6037.html
    and i cant get it to work.
    i also used:
    1k pot
    9v battery
    1uf 50v electrolytic capacitor
    8ohm, probably .5w speaker

    will all npn transistors work that arent darlingtons?

  4. yaay!
    i wish i had a lab
    what transistor did you use?
    i was thinking of using mj9001
    or 9000
    or 2n9000 i cant remember, obviously
    but something from motorola thats one of the round ones, and i think its 40v npn and darlington
    supposedly used for switching applications
    do you have any idea if that would work alright?
    edit
    i guess ive been rather vague
    im trying to find the datasheet

  5. ah. i see. well, i might try some anyways, considering i get them all for 75cents at axman
    ill try any other transistors i can get for cheap there, and update this page with which work.
    or maybe i could update the project? does anyone know how i might do that?
    anyways, thanks

  6. i'd like to know a lot of stuff about some of the audio oscillators that are projects here.
    i thought id just start a general discussion :D
    to start off, i was wondering about the kind of transistors that can be used for the reverse bias oscillator.
    -can you use NPN darlingtons?
    and were can you put a potentiometer or varistor in the circuit to control the frequency?

    -thanks, quincy

  7. how do you measure it in speakers? can you just get a bunch of tones in sound files that are completely one frequency? should i try and find some of these? or should i just play notes on a sawtooth synth on my keyboard until the speaker wont play them?
    and on a different note, how are capacitors used in crossovers to seperate the frequencies?
    im obviously a bit lost on FR.
    please help me learn something

  8. i would guess most of you know how normal speakers work, with just a cone and all. but even the weirder ones still have a vibration created with a varying current going through a conductor to create a magnetic field.
    but i recently came across something that is very different
    and i have no idea how it works.
    it has something to do with "plasma arcs"
    and a finished one has to have a gas supply (?!?!)
    anyway, heres the link:
