Discrete transistor op amp
Here in this blog i will show you how to build a high powered transistor opamp. The design is based off of allaboutcircuits.com design. The only changes were the transistors were power transistors and rprg is lowered to 390 ohms half watt.
Capacitor powered LED flashlight
Long time ago QVC sold a shakeable Flashlight that had no batteries just a shakeable generator and a super capacitor. This flashlight uses a 5vdc 1.5a wall wart to charge the capacitors. To figure out how long it will take to charge the flashlight you use this equation $$T=5R_{currentlimit}C$$ And for total discharge time $$T=5R_{LED}C$$ …
Yet another TV oscilloscope
In this blog post a crt TV a part and turn it into a oscilloscope. I am going to try to use a TL082 op amp to buffer and amplify the signal. It uses the deflection yoke to draw the picture on the tube. More pictures and videos will be posted here when it is …

Simplest analog computer
In this post I will show you how to make a analog computer using just resistors, switches and a 100 micro ammeter. Here’s the schematic of it: You can see the idea on how this analog computer works, it uses ohms law to get current from resistors in the circuits. Each current is limited in …
Icon Screensaver
This screensaver does exactly what the name says. It looks for icons and have them bounce around the screen and leaving a trail behind them. They are randomly chosen from windows, system and cursors directory. It uses ExtractIcon function from shell32.dll to get the icon and number of icons.
