Title: Fran Lab has Returned to Building Electronic Projects with this Sputnik Circuit
Post by: jonovid on November 06, 2023, 04:08:07 pm
I was somewhat disappointed at the lack of electronics diy project building videos in the previous year from Fran Lab.
however this video does not disappoint. showing a complete step by step five Year project build of her Soviet Sputnik Model Project.

diy pcb design. the 1950s museum model electronic circuit re-design & testing with vintage transistors. also the process of 3D printing the two part project case.
enjoy Fran Lab at Her electronics building best.

If I exclude myself this must be the most interesting thing I ever saw. What's next? A flashing light based on a highly vintage bakelite push button.

The next step is to kindly ask Elon to shoot that Sputnik design up on the orbit, perhaps within the first orbital flight of his steel rocket.. :)

i was interested enough to look up how they built the real sputnik.

must be built with the latest space tech from captured nazi scientists and prototypes.

if you replace the speaker with bright linearized LED, it could broadcast that signal with audio in such a way that it maybe could be recieved on earth ?. The speaker won't do much good in space.
