There are a number of projects you can build from salvaged parts for free. I have even re-used solder when really broke!! Instructions are all over the Internet.
What projects interest you and what appliances do you have access too? I can try to point you in the right direction.
LoL. Those Philips bulbs are the gutless flickery buggers I want to replace.
The Median Brand at Aldi are brighter (20-30%), Cheaper ($13) and more consistent brightness/quality in my (somewhat limited) experience. The Philips Bulbs where cheaper at Masters last time I looked.
I don't know what...
Lol. I'm not one to complain about slow replys lol.
Ahhhggg! Adobe stopped supporting Linux-firefox flash ages ago.
There is a workaround here for those that really want to flash on linux firefox. Using the chrome based pepper-flash...
I did that. 20/20. I think my eyes where just really good before. I always used to see stuff most people needed magnification for. Both small and close or long distant objects.
The resistance and inductance they talk about in safty discussion is to make sure that a few hundred amps can go to ground quickly, without starting fires or making magnetic fields that cause problems.
Its got little to do with a stable reference voltage. Sometimes its used as one in low...
I too have some of those floodlights. Great as portable work lights.
But they don’t plug into the ceiling socket in my kitchen or the sensor light at the front door, and not bright enough to de a proper day-maker.
The ones I need are like this...
lol. If you don’t fry at least 4 transistors a session. Your not trying hard enough.
I did that my first few power transistor projects too. I save my dead 3055's. I have over 100 now.
Now I just get everything in a 100 pack or bigger.
I can just make out a blurry broken resistor or axial inductor near a blurry finger in a blurry photo.
Its not a diode.
What made you pick that resistor over all the diodes you had to choose from? This info will help work out where you started to get lost...
I learned the hard way like you...
Damit. Now I really have to look in there! I have been resisting for months. Dad was teasing me too during a recent visit. Every night I'd smash the three switches open. then toggle the flickery-buzzy one till it settled. Dad would say innocently "I wonder what's causing that?" Knowing damn well...
As others have said more info could help.
I have two main uses for ground.
A. safty. A good ground can source sink a few hundred amps. Thats it. I want the biggest fattest longest rod I can get hammered down deep into damp ground.
B. Signal and reference.
Ground voltage is constantly changing...
I just started reading this thread when I saw this.
Usually when I do that I need new 3055's. :D
Not saying thats your problem, but something to consider in future.
Technically, if everything is right, your circuit should do that current just fine. But turning it up to 11 before fine tuning...
I found you need to pay at least $15 for mains fitting LED globes in Australia.
I started with $2 ones from ebay and got a bit of everything up to the $15 Phillips and Median (Aldi) globes. Everything but the $15 ones died within 12 months. The ones under $10 are all fire/electrocution hazzards...
Probably a lot of electric types in Delhi.
