Two Transistor Oscillator (AMV) for STEM

Get 5 boards in about a week for $22! In this video we put together a little 2 transistor oscillator, also known as an astable multivibrator, for the STEM kids. This circuit will teach 2 things, RC time constant, and tolerences. the only reason this circuit woks is because even though the 2 timing caps are equal, they are not exactly equal. Therefore one will charge before the other. ************************************************************************* *Please help support this channel at NO COST TO YOU.
