Required parts: 9V battery*, 2x 1K resistor (brown black red gold), 2x 100K resistor
(brown black yellow gold), 2x red LED, 2 x BC547 transistors, 2x 10µF electrolytic
capacitors
How it works: The 2 transistors
alternately conduct because the
capacitors are charged and discharged.
The speed at which this happens
depends on the capacitors (C1, C2)
and the resistors (R1, R2). Use a high-
er capacitor and resistor value in order
to extend the LED lighting time.
The LED on-time can be calculated:
T = 0,693 x R1(Ω) x C1 (F)
T = 0,693 x 100.000 x 0.00001 = 0,693sec.
