Another retro build project that was popular back in the 1960's because you could build it completely with cheap Cold War surplus parts - and in keeping this tradition I used ONLY stuff that I had in stock in my bins to build this relaxation oscillator tree. I packed this video with all the info you could want, (and more) and hopefully I answer all the questions you'd want to ask... so Enjoy!

Just got my FranLab perks. VERY cool – I missed the donation window for your health insurance. Hope this helps!
I really love this! More builds! So cool!
wow
Quedó muy bonito el arbolito electrónico
I love it Fran. I'd like one flashing away in my place 👌
its so beautiful to look at
I saw this video again recently and I am remember a little circuit I made to sit on a table that had a NE555 oscillator driving a red green led. A variable resistor adjusted the duty cycle and a switch changed between a large cap and a small cap. With the large cap it went slowly from red to green and with the small cap it appeared to fade from red to green wit the duty cycle adjustment.
Ha! It kinda looks like a cylon brain from the old Battlestar Galactica. I still love a good Larson scanner…
I would like to build something like this using multicolored diodes and LEDs for switching up different modes for blink rates and patterns. I really love the hour glass look. You could build a modern vrs retro styling with a separate module for tweaking how it flashes. Very nice ideas and seeing all the components on a tree like structure is so cool.
I want a Fran Lab shirt with your patented “Yidda Yaddah Yaddah”! 😉
Fran, it's me, hello, I. I love.
lindo adorno
I love your Neon Tree it's beautiful
I love this project. If I were to build this for European 230V assuming that all the parts had a high enough voltage rating would it just blink faster? Would I need to double all the resistor values?
