Very simple, and stable (as long as you don’t hold down the push button) and it only uses a small amount of parts. Only real drawback is how slow it is, but that still makes it pretty useful for a power switch that latches on and off with only 1 input. (although you should add an extra transistor or a MOSFET for higher power devices)

Here's a two transistor oscillator. _ _ http://everycircuit.com/circuit/6341799487209472 _ _ My question is on your circuit where would the load be connected?

Oh yeah I’m very familiar with oscillators, love them, I design my own on occasion. As for where to draw the load from, just use one of the transistors collectors to sink the load current to ground, (so the other side of the load would be connected to Vcc for example, like an LED and resistor for instance)

But if you want it to be better isolated and supply more current, than the best thing to do would be add a MOSFET or bipolar transistor (taking the base or gate to one of the transistors collectors just like you would for the load).

I take zero credit for this as I copied it from long time back. _ _ http://everycircuit.com/circuit/5085983300386816 it's just pretty slick how it works. I think the original has been deleted.

I can’t get any of the links to work on my iPhone, do you know a way around it? They’re not even highlighted blue on my screen

Copy just the circuit number, paste in the search bar, and should be able to find it that way. To clear tap the "x" twice after looking at circuit

Thanks man that really helped me a lot!

I just saw your SCR induction oscillator, pretty cool you have it oscillating with just 2 transistors, 1 inductor and a load, but the frequency is so high it probably won’t actually work in real life without using a RF bipolar transistor with a high enough transition frequency, (which from what I’ve read before, seems to need to be at least 3 or 5 times greater than the max intended frequency)... but I’m gonna try that circuit anyway and see if I can get it to work with some 2n3904 and 2n3906 transistors. Although, I think I would actually need to order a transistor with a translation frequency of at least 3.45GHz

But also, with the current in that circuit, if it’s actually that high in real life, it may just overheat everything. But I’m curious so I’ll try it anyway

In The scr circuit drop the source to 3vthe lamp to 1.5v & 50mwand the inductor to 100mh will make it functional with much lower amps

That’s quite a bit of wire though, just to make that little circuit work

Check out this though, MHz oscillator built using just 1 transistor: http://everycircuit.com/circuit/6713760033800192

Replace the 33k resistor with a 100k resistor, and the 10u capacitor with a 6.8u capacitor

A toggle flip flop is supposed to be able to withstand its input being held in the triggering state (rising or falling edge) without having the flip flop oscillating
