Project 114: VLF Antenna

 The goal of this project was to build a very simple VLF (very low frequency) antenna capable of detecting "spherics", or radio atmospherics, electromagnetic distortions in the upper atmosphere. The most commonly detected disturbance is lighting, which… more »

Project 118: True Random Number Generator

The goal of this project is to create a true Random Number Generator, with a USB connector, that can be easily used with any computer. I don't expect it to match up to the many very expensive commercial RNG's out there, but I believe a product like this… more »

Project 114: VLF Antenna Opamp Test

Ideally, I would build a self-contained receiver for the VLF antenna, in order to properly receive and amplify the faint signals from the upper atmosphere. However, I wanted to see if it was possible to just use an OpAmp to boost the signal before feed… more »

Project 126: Fiber Optic Light

  The goal of this project was to create a simple fiber optic lamp using an Attiny 85 an RGB LED, and soe Fiber Optic tubing. I originally wanted it to be solar powered, but I didn't have enough solar panels, so I instead connected it to a battery pac… more »

Project 114: VLF Antenna Opamp Split Power Supply

The main goal of this project is to build an Antenna and Receiver system capable of picking up "Radio Atmospherics" or "spherics". I am using this project primarily as a testbed for building antennas and related receivers and processing circuits, with a… more »
