Hail the resastance

Ok this is not a violent thing, resestance is the abitity of a material to resist potential differenve (we all know voltage) and amperes(will talk about it more at a later date).

This project is designed for a beginner who does not want to pay large sums of money on a multimeter. It is esentialy a led and a battery with sum wires.

Things you will need:

• 2x aa 1.5v battery’s
• 1 battery holder (that holds 2 batterys aa)

It’s optional but recommended

• 1x led (any size preferably clear)
• 3x crocodile wires

Steps:

· Connect the positive terminal of the led to the positive terminal of the battery holder

· Connect a crocodile wire to the negative terminall of the battery(two wire 1 each)

· Put batteries in holder

· Attatch the unused sides of the crocodile wire to any material

The brighter the led glows the lower the resistance(hey I didn’t say this was perfect did I)

The final sensor should look like this

<>= electrodes (attatch to surface) (+) = positive terminal (-) = negative terminal (-->l--) = led (+)------------<> <>----------(-->l--)-------(-)

The Throwie

This is my first tutorial of the site it, will be based on the led “throwie”.

This project is extremely simple, and beautiful in its simplicity.

Things you will need:

• 3v watch battery (those flat ones)
• Led (any colour any size just watch the current)
• Magnet
• Tape

Steps:

• 1: take battery and led
• 2: put led and battery in contact (make sure the led lights up)
• 3: secure battery and led with tape

• 4: secure magnet to the battery with tape(any side)
• 5: repeat previous steps till you have a army

The throwie’s are designed to be thrown at a metallic surface and they will stick try it for yourself

the beggining

This will be my first post:

I don't even know if this post will ever be read by anyone other than me but here goes.

I was once like you, I to fell in love with electronics at a very early age. When I was 9 I began experimenting. I was always curious. I always wanted to make a difference. Be known. Leave behind a legacy. I am now 16 and have been teaching myself electronics now for 7 years. It has mostly been trial and error. I have been greatly restricted in the past due to components but in this blog we will hopefully try to bypass those restrictions.

I realise that kids surfing the web will most likely read this blog and I know how much you hate reading so I will keep reading to a minimum in my later posts and tutorials.

I hope that you people like my blog and please tell your friends. I realise that it is scary to tell people about this hobby, but once you realise that this is probably going to be a career for most of you people one day you will feel a lot more open about expressing yourself and your work will grow greatly.
