CAPACITIVE FLASHER - RC TIME CONSTANT

(We no longer have this device.)



EQUIPMENT
    redball.gif (326 bytes) Demonstration Flasher
    redball.gif (326 bytes) 100 VDC Power Supply
    redball.gif (326 bytes) Oscilloscope
    redball.gif (326 bytes) Variable Resistor



NARRATIVE
            A triggered sweep oscilloscope such as the Tektronix model may be used to display charge and discharge. The oscilloscope is not essential. The variable resistor is capable of regulating flash frequency within a narrow range. Beyond this range, the flasher either remains lit or does not light at all.
