Metronome

         A metronome marks time by producing a regular sequence of "clicks" or "pocks". Adjust the click rate by adjusting R2 or changing C1's value. That will varying the RC time constant so it will also varying the "delay...

Light Flasher

            This circuit produces bright flashes every second or so. R1 controls flash rate. L1 can replace with 3V or 4.5V flash light or for simply you can use a LED for example. &nb...

Zener Voltage Regulator

            This circuit supplies a steady voltage (Vout) to a load from an unregulated supply (like a battery), Vin can vary but must be at least 1 volt above desired Vout. I, can vary from 0 mA...

Voltage Doublers

           These circuit approximately double an incoming AC voltage. The output is DC. Use capacitors and diodes rated for twice the input voltage. Output ripple can be reduced by using large values for C1 and...
