Foreword
Experiments should be fun, and this is at the foreground in this huge experimental package. We have more
than 200 circuits – from very simple to rather complicated experiments.
Some are just for action, while others might be potentially useful in house, yard or garden, but all of them
will bring new expertise and skills.
In some very few cases you will find circuits descriptions that make use of external elements, which are not
part of the Experiment box. If you can't find anything suitable in your own crafting box, probably a friend,
who shares your electronics hobby, can help out.
Come on in and pick a circuit that interests you, and suits your abilities, and get started. You don't need to
read circuit diagrams or know the symbols. Everything is reproduced in a clear and viable way; it is easy to
rebuild and successfully put into operation. Learning by Doing is a good strategy for achieving success after
all. Those who are still keen on some theory and background knowledge after so many successful experi-
ments will find the appropriate literature in specialized shops. For those of you interested, we have included
the circuit diagrams for all of the circuits in the appendix.
Besides the many basics of modern electronics, also your motor (precision mechanical) abilities will benefit.
The terminals of the components and the breadboard used for the construction are fragile. They do not
tolerate rough handling. Every now and then you should use tweezers to securely insert the lead wire of a
component into the board.
In a playful way you are learning a lot of skills, which may later proof to be helpful you when you start your
professional life. But if we have managed to whet your interest in a worthwhile, fun and informative pas-
time, then this experimental package has served its purpose indeed.
Have fun with our many interesting experiments and good speed!
