AI Thread Summary
A simple circuit to make a light bulb or LED turn on and off can be created using a battery in series with the light source and a switch. For more control over the flashing, a 555 timer in astable mode can be utilized to generate a square wave signal. This setup allows for adjustable frequency and duty cycle, depending on the design. It's important to clarify terminology, as "diiode" likely refers to an LED. Overall, these basic circuits provide a straightforward way to achieve the desired on-off effect.

what is the most simple circuit (with batteries as generator) i can make to make a light bulb or diiode keep going on and off?
thank you for help

A battery in series with a (LED + Resistor / light bulb) and an on-off button. Arbitrary frequency and duty cycle. As long as your finger lasts, I guess (though it is the simplest!)

...Okay, so the next step up would maybe be a 555 timer in astable oscillator mode (Google for 555 timer, or 555 square wave).

And PLEASE refrain from applying text effects to your entire post. Especially if it's just to make all the text really big.

EDIT: Just a friendly notice to allow people to actually read your posts.

I used to be an HVAC technician. One time I had a service call in which there was no power to the thermostat. The thermostat did not have power because the fuse in the air handler was blown. The fuse in the air handler was blown because there was a low voltage short. The rubber coating on one of the thermostat wires was chewed off by a rodent. The exposed metal in the thermostat wire was touching the metal cabinet of the air handler. This was a low voltage short. This low voltage...
Thread 'How Does Jaguar's 1980s V12 Dual Coil Ignition System Enhance Spark Strength?'
I have come across a dual coil ignition system as used by Jaguar on their V12 in the 1980's. It uses two ignition coils with their primary windings wired in parallel. The primary coil has its secondary winding wired to the distributor and then to the spark plugs as is standard practice. However, the auxiliary coil has it secondary winding output sealed off. The purpose of the system was to provide a stronger spark to the plugs, always a difficult task with the very short dwell time of a...
I am not an electrical engineering student, but a lowly apprentice electrician. I learn both on the job and also take classes for my apprenticeship. I recently wired my first transformer and I understand that the neutral and ground are bonded together in the transformer or in the service. What I don't understand is, if the neutral is a current carrying conductor, which is then bonded to the ground conductor, why does current only flow back to its source and not on the ground path...
