Very Simple Easy To Build Circuits


1) How to build this basic electronic series resistor and light emitting diode circuit
   Simple Light Emitting Diode Circuit




2) How to build this basic electronics transistor controlled light emitting diode circuit
   Transistor Controlled Light Emitting Diode




3) How to build this basic electronics capacitor charge - discharge circuit and watch it happen
   Capacitor Charge - Discharge Circuit



Simple Power Supply

This Simple Power Supply uses a transformer, diode, capacitor, resistor, LED, fuse and switch. Simple power supplies like this are sometimes called battery eliminators when they are made to output a particular voltage, 9 volts for example. If they are made adjustable, then a wide range of useful voltages can be produced from one simple power supply.

Audio Oscillator And Amplifier

Audio Oscillator And Audio Amplifier uses transistors, capacitors, resistors and IC's. This is an interesting combination of two basic electronic ciruits, an oscillator operating in the audio frequency range and an audio amplifier that allows a speaker to be connected to the oscillator. By using the amplifier to amplify the output of the oscillator, you can obtain a loud sound that can be used for an alarm or anything else that requires a loud audio tone.

Zener Diode Tester

Easy Zener Diode Tester uses diodes, resistors, pots and voltmeter. Zener diodes are an interesting type of diode. They conduct in the forward biased direction just like ordinary diodes but it's the reverse biased condition that's interesting because the voltage drop across the diode in the reversed direction is constant making them a good voltage regulator.

Model Railroading

Model railroads and basic electronics just go together.

With just basic electronics you can design your own fixed and adjustable low voltage power supplies and control lights and track switching from your own control board.
This Is So Much Fun, but once you get started you can't stop!

Do It Yourself Electric Car Project

If you're a "do it yourself" kind of person, then you'll be interested in doing this. This guy did it himself and then wrote an entire step by step instruction book!
Take a look at what he did and how he did it. I think this is perfect for an old pickup truck with a blown engine.
Junk the old engine and transmission and just use the drive train with the electric motor. Conversion is really easy. Electric motors have such high torque at low rpm that no gearbox is needed.


Here's an old invention that uses the sun to create free electricity that you can build
stirling heat engine "The Stirling Heat Engine Project"

The Stirling engine or "hot air engine" was invented and patented by Robert Stirling in 1816 and used back then for pumping water. Today with a parabolic reflector to focus sunlight, these engines, running a car alternator, can produce good amounts of electricity from sunlight while producing zero emissions.
You could easily build one of these yourself, all the materials needed are obtainable at your local hardware store. Watt for watt this might be a lot less expensive than solar cells.

Where To Find Best Prices On
Tools And Supplies



        Basic Electronic Project Building Tools And Supplies

When you're searching for basic tools and equipment, taking a little time to find the best price on these tools can really save you money.

Lots of people are looking for good bargains, that's why I've put together a web page called "Kit Building Supplies" that's devoted to saving you money.
Kit Building Supplies has teamed up with Amazon.com for some of the lowest prices on new equipment, supplies and tools for building electronic projects and simple circuits. Amazon almost always has prices that are lower than anyone else and their customer service is top notch.

I've taken some of the most popular items that I and a lot of other people use everyday to build circuits, along with current prices and availability, then lisited them out for you. I think you'll find it handy and informative. Even if you don't see what you need, just use the search box at Amazon and I'm almost 100% sure you will find it and pay less for it!

Quick Way To Learn Basic Electronics
Basic Electronic skills are used with all the projects on this website. The last two, the solar panels and heat engine are good examples of things you can build using basic electronic skills, that are different than the standard small circuit board board with some parts. Remember, it's always best to start out building small circuits and as you gain experience, move to bigger more rewarding projects.

A Little Off The Subject Of Basic Electronics...


This is a little off the subject, but if you have ever heard of Nikola Tesla you might know about his involvement with alternating current and his battles with the Edison Company, later to become General Electric, which at the time, late 1890's, was building direct current motors and generators.

Anyway, Tesla has been sort of labeled as a "weird inventor scientist" but as it turns out many of his ideas hold water today!

Find out what we now know about this effect and the old wizard scientist himself.


My book about Nikola Tesla is now available at Amazon Books

Borrow this book for free, with no due dates,
if you are a Kindle owner and Prime member.

This is a quick review about a misunderstood scientist, a man never credited with inventions we use everyday. A man who was a victim of smear campaigns ran by the big corporations of the time. A man who cared about helping people.

Odds And Ends

This is what happened to me the other morning...

I stepped on my bathroom scale to make sure I haven't gained any weight lately, when all I saw on the display (digital) was some garbled letters. So I proceeded to replace the battery, but that did nothing to solve the problem. Guess what? I just bought a EatSmart Precision Digital Bathroom Scale and I got it through Amazon with free shipping! I like this scale because it uses regular batteries and has a large read-out that I can see without finding my glasses.

If your bathroom is needing a new scale, then I highly recommend this one.
I'm very pleased with mine.
