- IAmBroom 11mo ago"Negative resistance"? Are you sure that's what you mean? Cuz it isn't.
- jhallenworld 11mo agoYes, it is... (negative differential resistance to be more precise) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pearson%E2%80%93Anson_effect https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pearson%E2%80%93Anson_effect https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Negative_resistance https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Negative_resistance
- zhrvoj 11mo agoI built many such oscillators same way. But I used BC107 NPN, connected collector to the ground, emmiter to resistor/capacitornet. Base free. Add LED in series with such connected transistor, and you have LED blinker.
