The proposed device consists of an LED indicator mounted on a disk, a fixed base and a stepper motor connecting the base and the disk, which plays the role of a mechanical energy accumulator (Fig. 1).

As the disk rotates (Figure 2), the LEDs flash in sequence, creating an image of a shrinking red ring and then expanding green or red-green stars. Here the inertia of human vision is used. A similar more complex design is described in "Radio", 2007, No. 9, p. 45.

The scheme of the device is shown in fig. one.

When the stator of the motor G1 rotates relative to the rigidly fixed rotor, the alternating voltage supplied to the diode bridge VD1-VD4 is rectified, the capacitor C1 is smoothing. Chip DD1 - decimal counter with a decoder controls the inclusion of two-color LEDs HL2-HL11. On the blinking NI LED and resistor R1, a clock pulse generator is assembled, which are fed to the SR input (pin 13) of the DD1 microcircuit. When the NI LED flashes, a high level is set at the SR input, and when it is turned off, it is set to a low level.

In the initial state, a high logic level is present only at output 0 (pin 3) and the red crystals of the LEDs HL2 and HL11 are lit. With each clock pulse, a high level is alternately and sequentially set at outputs 1-9 of the DD1 chip. This leads to the sequential inclusion of the following pairs of red LED crystals: H13 and NPO; HL4 and HL9, etc. With the appearance of a high level at output 5 (pin 1), the green crystals of the LEDs HL8, HL5 light up, then HL9, HL4, etc., and the cycle repeats. With a fast rotation of the disk, relative to the switching of the LED HL1, the observer perceives any luminous pair of LEDs as a ring. Depending on the rotation speed, the effect is maintained for 10...15 s.

The image will be different if the generator frequency is made much higher than the disk rotation frequency. All indicator LEDs "have time to switch several times during one revolution. To do this, the circuit is being finalized in accordance with Fig. 4.

When the rotor of the generator G1 rotates, the pulses from its winding through the p-n transitions of the two-color LED HL1 are fed to the input of the CP of the DD1 microcircuit. When the contacts of the 5A1 switch are closed, the observer sees an image of an eight-pointed star (half of the tooth is green, half is red). When the contacts of the 5A1 switch are opened, the pulse repetition rate will decrease by half and an image of a rotating four-pointed star will appear on the disk.

All elements of the device, except for the generator G1, are mounted on a board made of double-sided foil fiberglass, the drawing of which is shown in Fig. 5. Its length is selected in accordance with the size of the disc. The disc itself can be taken, for example, from an old record player.

The design of the device is illustrated in Fig. 6.

glowing disk

A stepper motor from a 5,25-inch drive is mounted like this. The head of the rotor 3 with the help of corners 2 is attached to the base 1 - a plate with a thickness of about a centimeter and dimensions comparable to the dimensions of the disk. The disc 5 itself is screwed to the back side of the stator 4 with two screws and the stator winding wires are led through the hole to the upper surface of the disc. On it, through a gasket 6 made of cardboard or plastic, a board 7 is fixed, the central part of which is closed with a plastic cover 9 with side slots. The cover is also fixed with screws, in its center, if desired, a coil 8 with nylon thread is installed for more convenient "acceleration" of the disk. LEDs can be covered with transparent cases made, for example, from a plastic bottle.

In conclusion - about the details and possible options for the scheme. Resistors - MLT, S2-23, capacitor - K50-35 or imported. Diodes 1N5819 can be replaced with diodes of the KD510, KD522 series with any letter indices, the L-56BID LED can be replaced with L-796BSRD-B. L-816BSRD-B. Each two-color indicator LED (HL2-HL11) can be replaced by two LEDs of different or one glow color by turning them on in anti-parallel, as shown in the diagram (see Fig. 3), in this case, the total number of LEDs in the indicator will be 20.

To reduce their number, the device can be assembled according to the scheme shown in Fig. 7, but then you need to change the layout of the printed circuit board.

By changing the number of LEDs, their location and connection order, you can get different images.

Traffic noise delays the growth of chicks 06.05.2024

The sounds that surround us in modern cities are becoming increasingly piercing. However, few people think about how this noise affects the animal world, especially such delicate creatures as chicks that have not yet hatched from their eggs. Recent research is shedding light on this issue, indicating serious consequences for their development and survival. Scientists have found that exposure of zebra diamondback chicks to traffic noise can cause serious disruption to their development. Experiments have shown that noise pollution can significantly delay their hatching, and those chicks that do emerge face a number of health-promoting problems. The researchers also found that the negative effects of noise pollution extend into the adult birds. Reduced chances of reproduction and decreased fertility indicate the long-term effects that traffic noise has on wildlife. The study results highlight the need ... >>

A New Way to Control and Manipulate Optical Signals 05.05.2024

The modern world of science and technology is developing rapidly, and every day new methods and technologies appear that open up new prospects for us in various fields. One such innovation is the development by German scientists of a new way to control optical signals, which could lead to significant progress in the field of photonics. Recent research has allowed German scientists to create a tunable waveplate inside a fused silica waveguide. This method, based on the use of a liquid crystal layer, allows one to effectively change the polarization of light passing through a waveguide. This technological breakthrough opens up new prospects for the development of compact and efficient photonic devices capable of processing large volumes of data. The electro-optical control of polarization provided by the new method could provide the basis for a new class of integrated photonic devices. This opens up great opportunities for ... >>

SSD data transfer speed doubled 12.05.2012

HGST (formerly Hitachi GST and now a subsidiary of Western Digital) has announced on its website that it will showcase a 12Gb/s industrial SAS solid state drive (SSD).

The drive will be on display at the SCSI Trade Association Technology Showcase in Santa Clara, California, USA on May 9th.

The press service of HGST emphasized that they will be the first company to demonstrate the new technology in operation.

As explained by the company, the new interface will offer twice the data transfer rate compared to modern SSDs and industrial hard drives, the interface in which is limited to 6 Gb / s.

The manufacturer claims that when the drive is connected through two ports, each of which will provide 12 Gb / s, the enterprise will be able to exchange data with the device at speeds up to 4,8 Gb / s. The device will be designed for storage systems and cloud platforms.
