Simple Electronic Circuit Hacks

This video will describe some creative circuit hacks which will give you ideas on how to design circuits with only the parts you have on hand.
MOSFETs for AC switching

That was a lot of fun. When I was a kid, I was too shy to talk to the TV repairmen at a shop on my way home from school; but I always found 'treasures' in their garbage. Now I'm 60, working on avionics. Still an avid electronics hobbyist.

There you go. Beauty lies in simplicity. I used an incandescent bimetallic lamp for flashing purposes. This 9 mins video is equivalent to at least 1 hour of studying. Great effort.

... brilliant. Your ingenuity is in the tradition of the work of Forrest Mims III. Just what the world needs. I for one look forward to future posts.

You had me at the relay thing. Wow. Subbed.

Awesome ingenuity ! Especially the last one with the AC switching. Taking home old TV's from the TV repair shop... Been there, done that ! For many years... even now, I still recycle components. It's hard for me to throw anything away.

Where else could I learn these tricks with such great didactics! Clear and eloquent presentation... Thanks a lot!

Another great video! Many thanks from Melbourne Australia

Some great hack ideas.. Have used the Flashing LED numerous times... Thanks for sharing.

Hi i am a long time follower of your channel and i love everything you do, this is a gold mine!
Can you do a video on your favorite parts that you use because you seem to have a really interesting component stash and selection that is super good, all the cool ICs and transistors seem to be in your parts bin.
Maybe a video of your favorite circuits with them or just presenting them and what can be done with them, maybe even a few part series on them with 2 or 3 components at a time per video.
Tanks!

Some times keeping it simple is best. Good video!

Nice school to ac circuit. But I was wondering what the frequency was and can you change it.

[alianwar]

Hi, can you please make a video on quartz crystal oscillator, Thank you!!

[MsSergey]

These are useful hacks, especially the last one! Thanks!

[dancollins]

Thanks, another good video. I thought the diode temperature and light sensing circuits were best. Are there any techniques to vary the frequency of the flasher LED (or just via component selection)? If not, it may have limited applications

[ibmicroapple]

Good stuff, some very nice ideas presented here!

Dear 0033mer, thanks you for your quick and direct explanation of so many great circuits! I have one question regarding the 7805 and the number of diodes: You say that we cannot add more diodes "or else we loose our regulation" and I wonder why that would be?

[ctheroux]

Hi, thanks for the videos. A quick question: Where your channel name comes from?

[alianwar]

Led bank circuit you made, I tried it with UA741Cp and also I used red Leds for the bank, instead of white, but it isn't working, could you suggest what could be the problem?

Also the pot, im using is the rotary pot.

Thank you! Love your videos..

First time I saw a two pin component which can oscillate by itself. 👌👌👌

[AuditorsUnited]

can you help me a bit.. there is a circuit for residual voltage you can use to charge somthing higher voltage... like taking residual voltage from the air to charge a car battery.. do you remember the name of the circuit
