Big Circuit

This circuit does a lot of

different things at once.

MP3

player

LED Attachments

Black

Clear

Build the circuit as shown. Place either the glow

fan or the light fan on the motor (M1) shaft, so

that it is stable on the little black piece. Place

the clear fiber optic holder on the color LED

(D8) and the black fiber optic holder on the

phototransistor (Q4), then insert the fiber optic

cable between them, but don’t let it lay close to

the fan on the motor. For best performance the

fiber optic cable should stand straight up in the

holders, without bending them. Connect a

music device to the color organ (U22) as

shown, and start music on it. For best effects,

place one of the LED attachments over the light

on the color organ.
Turn on slide switch (S1). Adjust the lever on

the adjustable resistor (RV) and the volume

control on your music device for best sound and

light effects.
Push the press switch (S2) until the motor

reaches full speed, then release it. The fan will

rise into the air like a flying saucer. Be careful

not to look down on the fan when it is spinning.
“Playing the Color Organ”:  turn off or

disconnect your music device. Wet your fingers,

and touch them between the point marked “X”,

and “R”, “G”, or “B” in the drawing.
The infrared detector (U24) and 100kW resistor

(R5) are only used to support the other

components.
