At night, city streets are filledflickering lights. This light fascinates and attracts everyone's attention. This effect is achieved with a special device - a strobe. It is often used for some technical purposes, for example, for cars, as well as in other areas. The circuit of this device is not so complicated, so you can make a stroboscope yourself.
Historical reference
The stroboscope was invented in the 19th century by the Austrianto the scientist Simon von Stampfer. A similar device at the time called a phenacistoscope. This device consisted of two spinning disks: one was applied to pictures, the second one made slits. When rotating, the light, getting through the slits, created the impression of a self-moving figure. Simultaneously with Stampfer, the Belgian Joseph Plateau made the same discovery and made a stroboscope himself with cardboard discs. The invention of this device initiated the projection of films.
Using a stroboscope
Such a device, like a strobe, is used inseveral areas. For example, with scientific research of processes of a periodic nature, removal of measurements of amplitude movements and others. In addition, this device has found application in medicine - as a strobolaringophone for people with speech damage.
In automotive technology the device is used forcheck and set the initial timing of the ignition. LED stroboscopes are installed on the radiator and bumper of the car to attract the attention of drivers on the road.
Also, the device is widely used in outdoor advertising, in places of entertainment, discos and other areas.
Types of Stroboscopes
There are several types of this device:it is socle, bezkolnye and superstrobes. Superstring can be distinguished from a distance of three kilometers, while the other types of these devices are visible only within one kilometer.
Schemes of these devices at the moment are of different types, but they are not so complicated. It's quite easy to make stroboscopes with your own hands, having at least initial knowledge of electrical engineering.
Making the device
Depending on the purpose of the device, the principleits manufacturing is slightly different. We bring to your attention the simplest way of how to make a strobe with your own hands for LED illumination of the gear knob on the car.
To do this, you need an LED lamp, a knife, a soldering iron and glue - the best thing to use is an adhesive gun. Further we act according to the plan:
The use of such a device facilitates the operation of the car. And if you make a strobe with your own hands, you can save a lot on buying a ready-made device.
