    Wow, what a brilliant video. I wish I had had a teacher like you when I was at school in the 70s.
    Anybody remember the flashing roadworks beacons? , Had a few of them in my younger days, took out the pcb and put the beacon back so it just stayed on permanent. Made many flashing gadgets with this pcb, even stepping up to flashing a 240v for a mates party. Didn't have a lot but we enjoyed what we had.

    • @EngineeringMindset
      @EngineeringMindset  2 роки тому +7

      I think there's a lot of engineering minded people out there who are guilty of stealing those roadwork beacons to see how they work. Personally I was surprised to find a giant battery inside, that was simply made of multiple small batteries linked together.

    • @hollytimlick9470

    2:45 why will it flow thru resistor 3, not 2? This needs longer explanation.

    • @EngineeringMindset
      @EngineeringMindset  2 роки тому +7

      It can flow through either and they will both actually get some power as soon as the battery is connected, I just had to choose a way to visually explain the circuit so I went with this route. The resistor values will never be exactly the same, whichever one has the slightly lower resistance will get slightly more electrons and that will start the process

    • @TheSimoc
      @TheSimoc 2 роки тому +5

      @@EngineeringMindset Yeah, that was an important thing that should have been mentioned in video, and yet even that answer wasn't complete. To be complete for that question, you should have also mentioned that as soon as the transistor which *happens* to open first (due to the mentioned dissimilarities between components), it immediately pulls down the base voltage of the other transistor, keeping it shut until the capacitor charge has been built up to open it, in turn pulling down the base voltage of the first one, and cycle repeats.
      While this video is a very respectable attempt to make a good explanation, it also contains other errors, omissions, and inconsistencies causing a lot of headaches for the target audience - unfamiliar on electronics:
      - 0:55 you should have said "in series" instead of "across", which is inaccurate expression and tends to imply rather an led connected in parallel with the transistor. I see, you said "led circuit", by which you thought about the circuit of led, resistor, battery, and their wires, which as a "circuit unit" is indeed connected across - alas.. essentially parallel - with the transistor. But beginners cannot get that, they don't differentiate the meaning of your "led circuit" from led, and they intuitively think the "across" just as "in parallel with".
      - You are showing demo videos on transistor operation, in which you are feeding base current directly with a battery. You may not do that! Transistor BE junction always needs a current limiting resistor if fed by constant voltage! Otherwise it gets destroyed, ie. very same applies there than you mentioned with leds!
      - 2:57 You omitted very relevant "also" word before the word "causes". Such omission causes incorrect implication that it would be the current through the led and its series resistor which causes the "electrons to be pulled into capacitor". But it is not, the capacitor "pulling" is caused directly by the previously mentioned opening of the transistor, to which you could have referred by a word "also". Ie. it is the very same cause which also(!) causes the led and resistor current to flow. The same word omission was when explaining the other side when its time came.
      - When driving several discrete leds from same source, you should never connect them directly parallel, because very slight differences between their forward voltage characteristics may cause huge imbalance in distribution of the current between leds, possibly destroying one and after it the rest will have yet hugely more current and be certain to be destroyed. This is actually quite a common cause for premature failures of cheapo led lighting products. Every parallel-connected discrete led should each have a separate current limiting resistor.

      Check Amazon or other retailer for a breadboard starter kit; there are tons of options out there, anywhere from $20 on up. There are some excellent books for self-teaching as well, but realistically it's easier to follow along with a good instructor on UA-cam.

    Great tutorial of an LED light chaser. I have made this circuit before, you can use 2n3904's too. Also with a large number of LEDS in the chain you can experiment with connecting a wire across several LED to send a signal to another transistor not in following the main loop. It creates interesting chase patterns depending on where you connect it.

      It is very simple, and no math is needed to figure it out.
      3v 100ohm
      5v 330ohm
      7v 470ohm
      9v 620ohm
      12v 1.5kohm
      And so on. Just remember voltage vs current is all you need. First rull of thumb is, always find the l.e.d specks when you purchase, forward voltage, and current. You will find that what I said is approximately to the correct value to a standard, 2.8v 15 to 20 ma l.e.d

    • @EngineeringMindset
      @EngineeringMindset  2 роки тому +1

      Stop resisting. But seriously, they are just limiting how many electrons can flow through the branch of the circuit. That makes the capacitor charge slower and also stops too many electrons passing through the LED and burning it out

    Excellent project, I think I would switch it up a bit and using a AC to DC wall wart as the power supply as it seems they come with anything electronic and I have a bunch of them of varying voltages lying around, and one of them would plug in directly to my tree lights and get it going without the need for a battery so I can feel more comfortable leaving it on all day long.
    As an aside, I do want to personally thank you for your videos, I teach an intro physics E&M lab class and have been doing so remotely for the past 2 years and for a few of the labs I do link directly to some of your videos (resistors, diodes, capacitors, etc) as part of the lecture (not done live) as I think the visuals that you have are absolutely perfect, and way better than what I could do, also a number of my students are EE students so I'm sure your other videos that are not related to what I'm doing are relevant to them as a nice way to teach them. So indirectly your work has helped me teach others (I hope), so thank you.

    Crazy that this is a completely analog circuit; no controllers or computers operating the lights. The capacitors act as delay sensors in this configuration. Makes one wonder if this is how old neon lights worked in the early part of the 20th century. Very fascinating circuit.

    3:08 I do not fully understand why the current flows to the transistor number 2 base only when the capacitor 1 is charged it could flow there immediately. Can someone explain it to me? :)

    • @nathanaelrenaud6004
      @nathanaelrenaud6004 2 роки тому +2

      Maybe I'm wrong but here is what I understood after a first view of the video :
      The current is not going through the first capacitor because the first loop is open by the first transistor, so it goes to directly to the second loop, and this will power the second LED while charging the second capacitor. Once the second capacitor is fully charged the current will flow to the first transistor which will close the first loop and turn on the first LED while charging the first capacitor. Once the first capacitor is fully charged it will active the second transistor and then it cycle like this again an again.

      The base-emitter junction of the NPN transistor acts like a diode. Significant current will not flow across it until the forward voltage of 0.7V has been reached. When transistor 1 is fully switched on, its collector is pulled close to ground voltage. If capacitor 1 is in a fully discharged state, then base of transistor 2 is also close to ground. But notice the orientation of those capacitors? Why is the negative side connected to the bases of the transistors? This explanation has actually been simplified. What really happens during the charge/discharge cycle is that the base of the transistor in an astable multivibrator will sometimes go below ground voltage. For a more complete explanation of this circuit see RSD Academy's channel

    When I was a kid in the seventies
    I build a little FM transmitter that was fitted in a matchbox, it had a range about 200 meters, It was a building kit that I ordered from an ad in a hobby magasin.
    I would love to build a simulare kit again 😎
    Do you have any sources?

    Ask this but during the discussions at some places for the same component you were referring to
    Voltage , current other times. How this really impacts ?
