In the preceeding sectionof the manualwe toldyou that a

capacitor storedandreleased in a circuit.Nowyou
electricity
canseefor yourself . Afteryoucomplete thewiring,touchthe
freeendof the LONGWIREto 21 andthento 26. Surprise!
The LEDlightsup. Do you knowwhy?
Tounderstand better,lookatthediagrambelow.Wecallthisa
SCHEMATIC, andit isthekindofdrawing professionals useto
buildcircuits. Don'tworry.... you can stillusethe wiring
sequence. Thesymbolsusedin the schematic arethe ones
we pointed outin theMOREABOUTTHECIRCUIT BOARD
sectionof thisManual.lf youdidn'tlookat themthen,it would
be a goodideato checkthemout now.
lf youfollowtheSchematic youwillseethattouching thewire
to 21 completesa path for electricityto flow from the -
terminalof the Batteries to the Capacitor andthenfromthe
othersideof theCapacitor to the + terminalof theBatteries.
ThisletstheCapacitor "fillup"withelectricity.Whenyoutouch
thewireto 26youcomplete a pathfortheCapacitor to release
the electricitythroughthe LED.The LED lightsjust long
enoughfor theCapacitor to "empty"(whichisn'tverylongin
thiscase).
As you go throughall the circuits,you'lllearnlots of
information just like this and it's a good ideato keepthis
information in a Notebook. By thetimeyoufinishthiskityou

yourNotebook wouldhavemostof thethingsyou'dneedto

EmittingDiode.And we told you that a diodeonly lets
electricity flowin one direclion.Here'sproof.
Complete thewiring,andthentouchthetwofreeendsof the
LONGWIREStogether.The LEDlightsup . . . right?Now
reversethe connections to the Batteries(21 and 23), and
touchthe LONGWIRESagain.Nothinghappens, because
theflowof electricity is goingin theopposite direction
andthe
Diodewon'tlet it through.
IntheSchematic youcanseehowtheDiodemustbeconnect-
ed for it to light.The + (positive) sideof theBatteriesgoesto
the arrow-head and the - (negative) sideof the Batteries
goesto the line.This wouldbe good inlormation for your
Notebook. Youare keepingone,aren'tyou?
The 680 ohm Resistorin this circuitreducesthe amountof
electricity goingto the LED(it can'ttakeverymuch,or it will
burnout).
A practical usefor thiscircuitis as a continuitytester.lt will
allowyou to see whetherelectricity is flowingthrougha
particular circuitor component. Thiskindof testingcanhelp
you find wherethe problemsare if a circuitisn'tworking
correctly.

 CIRCUIT#9: The "Secret Code" Key

Whenalltheconnections havebeenmade,presstheKEYand
youwillheara soundin the EARPHONE. By following the
MORSECODEchartbelowyouwillbeabletosendmessages
with a seriesof dots (shortsounds)and dashes(longer
sounds).Of courseMorseCodeisn'treallya secretcode.lt
wasthefirstmeansof electronic communication . . . . . . by
telegraph andthenradio.lt is stillusedby radiooperators all MORSECODE
overtheworld.Youwilllearnthecodefaster.andhavemore
fun,if you practicesendingmessages backandforthwitha A K U 1
friend. B L V 2
c M W 3
Thetypeof circuitusedhereis calledan OSCILLATOR. The D N X 4
soundin the IARPHONEis causedby pulsesof electricity, E o Y 5
justlikeit wasinthdradiosthatyoubuilt.Thedifference isthat F P z 6
the pulsescomefrom the circuitturningitselfon and off G o 7
instead offromtheradiowaves.Theoscillator turnsonandotf H R Period I
becauseof somethingcalledfeedback.You have heard I S Comma I
anotherexampleof feedbackat concerts,when the J T Question 0
loudspeakers startto "squeal."This happenswhenthe
speaker andmicrophone gettooclosetogether andthesound
fromthespeaker"feedsback"intothemicrophone. Thesame
thing happensin the oscillatorexceptthe microphone is
replacedby the inputof the transistor, and the speakeris
replaced bytheoutput.At a concert, feedback isannoying, but
in an oscillatorit is necessnrvfor the circuitto workat all.

Whenyou havecompleted the wiringsequence, touchthe

touchthe LONGWIREfrom20 to either34 or 36. Nowyou
shouldbe hearinga soundin the EARPHONE. Tryas many

Thiscircuitis turnedon bydisconnecting a wire,insteadol by
connecting one.AnytimetheLONGWIREbetween 15and17
is disconnected, the"alarm"goesotf.Lateron youmaywant
to replacethe LONGWIREwithmagneticswitcheslikethe
professionals use.Thistypeof switchis availableat yourlocal
RADIOSHACKstore.Thissametypeof alarmcircuitis used
in professional burglaralarms,exceptthat it is connectedto
very loudbellsor buzzers,or a silentalarmthat alertsthe
police,insteadof an EARFHONE.
The "trip wire" keepsthe alarmfrom goingoff whenit is
connected because it makesa "shortcircuit"aroundthebase
andemltterof the Transistor (theinput).A shortcircuitis a
pathforelectricity thatias littleor noresistance,
andelectricity
willalwaysflowthroughthe pathwithleastresistance. When
theelectricityflowsthro4h thetripwireinsteadof theoscilla-
lor inputcircuit(yesthis is anotheroscillator), no soundis
produced, butwhenthetripwireisdisconnected theelectricity
flowsthroughthe oscillator inputandthe alarmsounds.

radioto receiveyour"broadcast." Theradioshouldbe about
onefootawayfromthe RADIOSTATION, to beginwith,and
shouldbetunedto a placeonthedialwherethereis noother

Now adjustthe TUNINGKNOBon the RADIOSTATION,
whilespeaking intotheEARPHONE, untilyouhearyourvoice
ontheradio.Onceyouhaveyourbroadcast tunedin,youcan
experiment to seehowlar awayyoursignalcanbe received.
The FCC (FederalCommunication Commission) doesn't
allowtheoperation of strongradiostations withouta license,
so don'tbe disappointed if the signalcarriesonlya fewfeet.
A radiostationlikethe one you havebuiltis a combination
amplifier-oscillator. Theoscillator produces a highfrequency
radiowavethatis sentoutintotheairbytheANTENNA COIL.
Thefrequency of theoscillation is setto matchthesettingon
theradiodialbytheTUNINGKNOB(Remember, theTUNING
KNOBis a variablecapacitor.).
Thestrength or"amplitude" oftheradiowavesiscontrolled by
the amplifier,and the amplifieris controlledby the small
amountof electricity produced bythe EARPHONE whenyou
talkintoit. In thisway,the inputfromthe EARPHONE (your
voice)controls the4mplitude ol theradiowaves.TheAMradio
is ableto turnthesechangesin the strengthor "amplitude"

A circuitlikethisonemightbe controlling theblinkerin your

parent's car.Sinceit turnsonandoffyoumightguessthatit is
anoscillator andyou'dberight.lt'sa typeof oscillator
calledan astablemultivlbrator.lt is designed so that,when
onetransistor is ontheotheris off; andtheycontinually switch
backandforth,or vibrate,from"on" to "otf."
Just like the one transistoroscillator, the frequencyof the
multivibrator is controlledby thecombination of resistorsand
capacitors.Since there is such a big differencein size
betweenthe capacitorsused here and the other two
capacitors in thekit,it wouldnotbe practicalto usethemhere.
Butyoucanreplacethe100Kohmresistor withthe470Kohm
resistorand see whathappens.You probablyalreadyknow,
buttry it anyhow.
Finally,do yor.rknowwhichtransistoris on whenthe LEDis
on?Youshouldbeableto tellfromtheschematic. lt'stheright

CIRCUIT#24: The Two-Transistor

Fromthe wiringsequenceandthe Schematic, you cansee

thatthiscircuitis almostexactly liketheBLINKER. Thediffer-
enceis thatwe havechangedthefrequency of theoscillation
(withcapacitors . . . . . . justlikeyoudidin theone-transistor
oscillators),
andwe alsochangedtheformof theoutputfrom
lightingthe LEDto makinga soundin the EARPHONE.
Rightnowyoumaybe askingwhywe toldyouit wouldn'tbe
practicalto usethe smallercapacitors in the lastcircuit,and
thenweusedthemhere.Thereasonisthatthefrequency isso
fastthatyouwouldn'thavebeenableto seetheLEDgoingon
andoff.lt wouldhavelookedliketheLEDwason allthetime,
butthe EARPHONE can usethishighfrequency to produce
soundthatyoucan hear.
AsintheBLINKER youcanchangethefrequency byreplacing
the 100Kohmresistorwiththe 470Kohmresistor.

 CIRCUIT#29: The "NAND" Gate

As you mightsuspectthe NANDgateis the oppositeof the

ANDgate(NotAND).In thiscircuityou mustconnectboth
LONGWIRES(25to 31 and29 to 33)to turnthe LED(the
output)otf.Oneusefora NANDgate,besidesin a computer,
mightbeforthedoorbuzzerinyourparenl'scar.Theyhaveto
closebothdoors(twoinputs)
toturnoffthebuzzer(theoutput).
ln theSchematicyouwillseethatwhenbothconnections are
made,bothtransistorsareon,andthatmakesa shortcircuit
aroundtheLED,throughtheoutputcircuitsof thetransistors.

THENORgateis another "logic"circuitandistheopposite of

This probablyseemsvery simpleto you by
