i spent time reading practical electronics for inventors. wanted to mess around with capacitance.

built this circuit to visualise charge & discharge of a capacitor.

but, somehow, this always ended up burning the capacitor. i asked pedro, but he told me to wait till the next class.

i then proceeded to ask david rios, jesse simpson, octavio, ryan & ivan, but none of us could figure out why. tom came and said it was a ‘current’ problem, but i didn’t understand how.

i will then attempt to be patient, and wait for pedro’s class next week.

the idea was to combine this to produce sound, as part of the work i was doing in ss_experiments_week-1. but, never-mind.
