    Need an analogy for Hertz

    I am going to be teaching a class that involves operating generators. I know my students will ask why one piece of equipment requires a 60 Hz generator and the other requires 400 Hz, while the voltage is the same for each generator. I am considering using food consumption as an analogy, where...

    Why aren't the transistors turned on permanently in the astable multivibrator?

    I am a beginner and I don't understand why the transistors aren't permanently on, because the current is flowing from the capacitors and from the battery to the base pin at the same time, so it should be turned on because there is a wire that connects the transistor base pin directly to the Battery

    How do I make a voltage-controlled signal router for my eurorack system?

    Hi All, I have an XVCO Two from Frequency central, and I want to add voltage-controlled octave shifting (by means of hijacking its rotary octave switch). Do similar circuits exist already, and are there any resources/guides I should look into? I found a thread discussing a similar idea...

    PCB Question for Newbie (building personal alarm) - missing inductor part

    I’m working on a personal project, and I could really use some help. I’m not an electrical engineer, so I apologize in advance if this is a basic question, but I’m a bit stuck. I paid someone to design a personal alarm PCB board for me. It’s similar to those cheap $10 alarms you find on Amazon...

    What is this connector and how do I reattach the ffc-cable to it?

    I have been fixing some bent keys on my Roland rd88, and is now trying to reconnect this ffc-cable and its connector after the cable seemingly just fell out of it : There seems to be no latches on the connector, and the cable doesn't seem to wanna just slide in either. Here's another picture...

    Please help!, What is it designed to do?

    Can anyone tell me what this is??? What is it designed to do? And how new is it perhaps?

    Choosing Resistors for IR LED

    Hi guys, I hope I'm in the right place for asking this question. Note: I'm a complete amateur in regards to Electronics so apologies if this might be a stupid question.. I've recently built a headtracking device for use with flight simulators. The circuit is as simple as it gets: A 3V...

    Question about the feasibility of a 240v -> 676v multiplier schematic

    Hey, I saw a schematic floating around for a "two phase" Cockcroft-Walton voltage multiplier. I was wondering if this would essentially work the same with a 3 wire (2 lives, 1 neutral) 240v supply. I had a couple concerns about it so I figured I would post it here to get some information about...
