Learning Electronics Through Youtube: Passive RC High and Low Pass Filters





Tesla Gods at the Make Fair

Does anyone know why the bolts have a specific color, is it the amount of elements that are in the air at the time of ionization?

Ampere - A to Z of Electronics

Jeri is amazing her videos are well done, you have to love paper cut outs....if you don't your not cool...ok your cool just keep that to your self. Hope to see some more of these videos.

I think I am going to start up a page on my blog dedicated to learning electronics from youtube. Any thoughts on this?

Music Production for Film and Television with Malcolm Kirby Jr.

There is some really good information in this video definitely worth watching some bits and pieces.

555+4040 = Fun on a rainy day



Nothing much to do today school it finally over and I got some more time to mess around in the garage. Nothing to fancy here just a 555 acting as a clock for a 4040 and having a grand old time. The signal is pulsing because the power rail is coming in contact with one of the outputs of the 4040.





Railroad Gin Episode 3

Railroad Gin Episode 3

Hello everyone! Thanks for checking out the written portion of the Railroad Gin video blog. I figured that I would do this as well as the video blog so i'm not blabbing forever on the video blog. Anyway. Episode Three is about Murder Ballads, specifically I talked about the song "Rose Connelly". It's a West Virginian Murder Ballad about a man who is coerced by his father to kill the woman he loves for her money. I got this song, its chords and partially its melody straight out of Alan Lomax's "Folk Songs of North America" which is obviously something you need to own if your interested in Folk Music.

The Posible Future of Electronics Graphene

The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences has awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics for 2010 to Andre Geim and Konstantin Novoselov, both of the University of Manchester, "for groundbreaking experiments regarding the two-dimensional material graphene."

Graphene is a form of carbon. As a material it is completely new -- not only the thinnest ever but also the strongest. As a conductor of electricity it performs as well as copper. As a conductor of heat it outperforms all other known materials. It is almost completely transparent, yet so dense that not even helium, the smallest gas atom, can pass through it. Carbon, the basis of all known life on earth, has surprised us once again.

When mixed into plastics, graphene can turn into conductors of electricity while making them more heat resistant and mechanically robust. Graphene transistors are predicted to be substantially faster than today's silicon transistors and result in more efficient computers


Some allotropes of carbon: a) diamond; b) graphite; c) lonsdaleite; d–f) fullerenes (C60, C540, C70); g) amorphous carbon; h) carbon nanotube.
