Stable Strobe Effects

The 0.1mF capacitor has no electrical

effect,but it helps to hold the motor in place

better and reduce vibrations. Less motor

vibration makes the disc holder more

stable, and so makes the patterns a little

clearer. See if you can notice a difference.

Strobe Effects (II)

When the disc pattern is totally blurred,

it appears to be white. Combining equal

amounts of red, green, and blue makes

white. The LED in the color organ IC

combines red, green, and blue lights to

make white.

Use the circuits from projects 47 and 48,

but add the 0.1mF capacitor (C2) next to

the motor, as shown here. Set the strobe

speed so the patterns are visible, and

see if they look less blurred than before.

Replace the disc in the disc holder with the one

shown here, and repeat projects 47-49. Observe

the strobe effects. To remove a disc from the

holder, use your fingernail, or use a pencil to push

it up from beneath one of the tabs.

Replace the disc in the disc holder with the one

shown here, and repeat projects 47-49.

Observe the strobe effects. At some RV

settings, the rainbow of colors comes into view.

Replace the disc in the disc holder with the one

shown here, and repeat projects 47-49.

Observe the strobe effects. This unusual

pattern produces several amazing displays at

different RV settings.

Replace the disc in the disc holder with the one

shown here, and repeat projects 47-49.

Observe the strobe effects. With this pattern,

some areas may appear to be moving at

different speeds or directions. Sometimes you

can see all the colors on the disc, but

sometimes you can see all the colors except

blue, which is hidden.
