Projects with Ryan Slaugh: Simple Amplifier
Building upon my last video, I’ve decided to make a simple circuit using some op-amps. One is the general op-amp LM741. The other is a specific op-amp, LM386, that is designed for audio amplification. This circuit can be used to amplify microphones or be used as a circuit sniffer depending on what you connect to […]
Projects With Ryan Slaugh: Helpful Circuits
In this video, I will show you a few of my most used helpful circuits. They involve using the 555 timer and the Operational Amplifier.
Clock Uses Capacitors To Store Energy and Mark Time
Polish maker Nereus built this great solar clock that features twelve sets of capacitors salvaged from electronic junk, serving both as energy storage as well as a decorative element.
How to Make a Capacitor From Scrap Aluminum
Jezan needed a variable capacitor for a project. Not having one, he created one out of scrap aluminum.
Ultracapacitor Experiments
Jesse Holleran’s quirky video demonstrates a bunch of experiments he did with a 3,000-farad capacitor, including welding two pieces of metal together melting a paper clip, and electrolyzing water into oxygen and hydrogen.
MAKE Presents: The Capacitor
Collin Cunningham provides an elegant description of capacitors, including early caps called Leyden jars.
