The Basic Electronics Elements And Components

Build A Two LED Flasher

This Fun LED Flasher uses transistors, capacitors, resistors, diodes and light emiting diodes. The basic electronics circuit is actually a very low frequency square wave oscillator. The frequency of the square wave output determines the flash rate of the light emiting diodes. You see similar circuits in use by cities and highway departments as flashing warning lights.

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 & Amplifier

Audio Oscillator & 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.

Hobbies And Basic Electronics

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!

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!

Converting a car too big a project? How about a bike? One that does over 50MPH!

This is NOT some dumb old moped. This is very close to the performance of a motorcycle without the gasoline!

This design worked so well that the guy who built it actually sold his regular car and rides this everywhere!

Here's some more pictures and a video of it running.

Where To Find Electronic 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 website that's devoted to low prices. Kit Building Supplies and it has some of the lowest prices that I can find on new equipment, supplies and tools for building electronic projects and simple circuits. You may not know this but I have found that over the years Amazon almost always has prices that are way lower than anyone else.

I've taken some of the most popular items that I and 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!

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!

Wait... IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN ENERGY FROM THE SUN, YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT THIS
----HERE IS SOMETHING THAT COULD BE BETTER THAN SOLAR PANELS----

"The Stirling Heat Engine"

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 large amounts of electricity from sunlight and produce zero emissions.

You could very easily build one of these yourself and all the materials needed are obtainable at your local hardware store.

Watt for watt this can be a lot less expensive than solar cells.

Learning 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. It is always best to start out with building small circuits and as you gain experience, move to bigger more rewarding projects.

Learning Basic Electronics And Weight Loss

Learning basic electronics means you are improving your knowlege base and it's that time of the year we think about improving our physical health as well, getting a little slimmer and starting on a diet. BUT DON'T DO A REGULAR DIET. Here's why...

It has been found by UCLA researchers that diets don't work! What the UCLA study found was the majority of people regained all the weight, Plus More!

So how do you lose weight and improve your health without going on one of those pre-formulated diets? And then after you stop the diet, not having all your weight come back?

Hula Hoop Weight Loss?
Gene, who is a friend of mine, was having trouble with not being able to lose weight around his belly. He tried all sorts of things and finally even this "hula hoop idea" to lose weight, but nothing really worked. so he set out to find a solution that works and isn't a standard "run of the mill" diet or diet pill. .

After spending months researching and testing ideas, he was just about to give up when he came across an idea that that might just work. He put his idea in a mathmatical formula based on a persons current weight and what their ideal weight should be and when he put it to the test, his weight started dropping.

Since this wasn't a diet he had to stick to, he didn't worry about going off it, in fact once he had the set up in place, he didn't worry about food or excercise much at all. And it worked and continues to work.

Now with the New Year and lots of people thinking about losing a few pounds, there's no better time to find out his weight loss revolution secret. I think once the word about this gets out, it'll become one of the most popular ways to safely lose weight.
