Ever try steering a motorcycle (OK, maybe a
bicycle) with just four fingers? That’s dangerous on
a real motorcycle, but it’s a lot of fun in this
electronic version.
To use this project, connect the components
according to the wiring sequence. Then grasp the
exposed metal ends of each of the two long wires
(connected to terminals 110 and 81) between your
thumb and the index finger of each hand. Now vary
the pressure (your “grip”) and listen to the sound
from the speaker. The sound changes as you
change your grip on each wire.
You can also get different sounds by controlling the
amount of light that falls on the CdS cell. With a
strong light on the CdS cell, you can control the
operation entirely by exerting more pressure on the
wires in your hand. Use your hand to make a
shadow over the CdS cell and see what happens.
When you hold the ends of the wires, you make
yourself another part of the circuit - a resistor.
Changing your grip changes the resistance to the
current in the project. With some practice you will be
able to make this circuit sound like a real motorcycle
on the go. You can make it idle as well as race.
You can experiment with different values for the
0.1
μ
F and 0.05
μ
F capacitors, but don’t use values
above 10
μ
F or the transistor might be damaged.
