2 Cents Worth On Oscillator

This is a replica of LidMotors Penny Oscillator circuit. I saw his penny and raised him one. If you need the circuit please visit his channel. He is the one who first posted this as far as I know.

The Asian population, Hmong mostly, just 2 blocks west of me, Stockton Bl..commercial stuff..about 1-2 miles of nearly all Asian stores. I might find a variety of 'imported' electronic stuff like you found. I like to buy USA when I can, but the eectronics is mostly pacific rim (as they seem to call it) Copper wire? yes, the 'wire' gauge. and I see some of the steel wire with copper coating, a tad cheaper than solid copper, I see it in cheap stuff a lot. can't take much current though.

@dougspair

I like to by American also but there are some things that aren't even available here. I marketed a small socket tester and I couldn't.'t fin an American company manufacturing piezo crystals.

Hey there you are again, ! I got some sort of message from NathanCinematography but couldn't figure out the youtube 'subscriber' deal. Where are you located? USA I kind of assume? Here in Sacramento, Calif..we have a variety of $ stores, near my home is RC Country (radio control) hobby shop, huge, still has the stuff we use for actually 'making' things.. Sacramento has a very large Asian population..I might find some interesting 'imported' electronic stuff. Just my 2 cents worth.

I'm in Ohio. The radio control club I belong to is the CMAC Corsair Model Airplane Club. The F4U Corsair was manufactured in Akron as the story goes.

Very nice! ... If i may say, those 5 mm long LEDs are hard to fire up. I dont know why but i think you would get better light from a standard 9 millimeter long LED.

Actually the diodes I'm using are salvaged along with the rest of the parts from solar garden lights. We have what is called a Dollar Tree store here and they are, naturally one dollar. For that price you get a nice thick glass solar cell, a Joule thief circuit and a battery. The diodes are very good for this type application because they will run pretty bright at 1.8 volts and probably only 3 ma. Thanks for your comment though.

@DadHav --- Hi,... as for the SWAG use, we in Europe generally use SWG (Standard Wire Guage) --- and when winding motors ... if this helps ...SWG 46 = 0.0024 inches = 0.061mm or 0.0000061 meters.

@DadHav --- Thanks for more detail on the copper coated STEEL wire material,... this will then affect the Roh (P) value as the constant I gave was for normal copper wire at 9gr / cm³. ;-)

Steve. Ha, now I'm gonna have some fun. I prefer the SWAG method for figuring most things out. (Sophisticated Wild Ass Guess) Kidding. I'm impressed with your knowledge and have to admit I was never very good at such calculations. I use conversion tables to help me with most stuff. Being a master of reference is a useful tool. Buy the way this is interesting: The wire is extremely flexible and is steel with copper plating. How weird is that? 1 US dollar per roll.
