The project is about the size of a standard AA battery which aims to build a single transistor FM transmitter. Having a power supply of 1.5V cell is the main advantage of this circuit. The battery is ...

In this lesson, students build two circuits and explore how transistors function. When Bell Labs introduced the transistor in June of 1948, a spokesman proudly announced "This cylindrical object . . .

You could make a "cat whisker" transistor by using a small piece of Galena, and then poking it with three small conductors until you find the correct conductivity between each conductor to make a ...

What attracts a lot of people to amateur radio is that it gives you the ability to make your own gear. Scratch-building hams usually start by making their own antennas, but eventually, the itch to ...

Discover how to build a simple wireless power transfer system at home using readily available components like enameled copper wire, an LED, a 2N2222A transistor, and a 9V battery. This step-by-step ...

Last month we showed you how to use resistors to reduce voltage. While it's a viable solution for many cases it isn't for others. As noted before, resistors work for devices whose load remains ...

OK, so I have an old project laptop with an IDE/PATA/slim-ATAPI optical drive bay, into which I have inserted a SATA drive caddy with a bridge board. The thing is, the caddy doesn't transfer the drive ...
