SCR Oscillator

Silicon controlled rectifiers (SCR) can easily oscillate if there is an inductor (a speaker coil in this case) which gives just enough extra voltage to completely switch off the sustain current. In this way a new cycle may start and oscillations set in. It operates over a wide range of supply voltage and components values are not critical at all. Operational frequency in this circuit goes from 100Hz at 11V to 10KHz at 100V.

AM Tone Transmitter

This circuit uses a 4049 hex inverter to form an AM radio tone transmitter. The RF oscillator in this circuit uses one inverter; its frequency is controlled by a 1 MHz microprocessor crystal. Two more inverters amplify its output. Meanwhile, the two inverters at the top left produce an audio tone, which is modulated onto the RF signal by the last inverter. You can tune this in as an audible whine at 1000 kHz on your AM dial. A few inches of wire attached to the output terminal should suffice as a transmitting antenna. This circuit also has another use. It emits harmonics at all whole-number multiples of 1 MHz (i.e. 2 MHz, 3MHz, etc., up to at least 10 MHz) and you can use it to check the dial calibration of a short-wave radio

Notes
1. L1 is a custom inductor wound with about 80 turns of 0.5mm magnet wire around a toroidal core with a 40mm outside diameter.
2. Different values of D3 can be used to get different output voltages from about 0.6V to around 30V. Note that at higher voltages the circuit might not perform as well and may not produce as much current. You may also need to use a larger C3 for higher voltages and/or higher currents.
3. You can use a larger value for C3 to provide better filtering.
4. The circuit will require about 2A from the 6V supply to provide the full 800mA at 12V.

Transistor Power Amplifier 3W

Here is a little audio amplifier similar to what you might find in a small transistor radio. The input stage is biased so that the supply voltage is divided equally across the two complimentary output transistors which are slightly biased in conduction by the diodes between the bases. A 3.3 ohm resistor is used in series with the emitters of the output transistors to stabilize the bias current so it doesn't change much with temperature or with different transistors and diodes. As the bias current increases, the voltage between the emitter and base decreases, thus reducing the conduction. Input impedance is about 500 ohms and voltage gain is about 5 with an 8 ohm speaker attached. The voltage swing on the speaker is about 2 volts without distorting and power output is in the 50 milliwatt range. A higher supply voltage and the addition of heat sinks to the output transistors would provide more power. Circuit draws about 30 milliamps from a 9 volt supply.
