Talk about yam fries. They are an unknown phenomenon. They appear on their own and disappear into nothing, some faster than others. 50 grams eaten at night turn into 3 kilos of chub the next day. Astrophysicists refuse to comment on this gravitational anomaly. But fries are even more dangerous than black holes. To neutralize […]

Some of you may have found the LightStorm Pummers that Mark Tilden has made using some neat looking plastics. We've built our own variation of the circuit, which is a dark-activated, quad-bicore pseudo-random chaos generated, dual pummer circuit.
Parts required are:
Dark Turn on Circuit
- Solarcell (SB Part SC2433)
- 1F 2.5V (SB Part CP1.0F) capacitor
- 1 Germanium Diode (SB Part D2)
- 100k Trimpot (SB Part RT100k)
- 2n3904 transistor (SB Part TR3904)
- 2n3906 transistor (SB Part TR3906)
Pummer Circuit
- 74HCT240 (SB Part 74HCT240)
- 2 x 1000uF Capacitor (SB Part CP1000)
- 2 x UltraBright LEDs (SB Part UBLED-R)
- 2 x 100k Resistors (SB Part 100k)
- 2 x 22uF Capacitors (SB Part CP22)
- 4 x 0.22uF Capacitors (SB Part CP0.22uF)
- 2 x 2 MegaOhm Resistors (SB Part R2.0M)
Pummer Circuit
- 74HCT240 (SB Part 74HCT240)
- 8 x 2n3904 Transistors (SB Part TR3904)
- 8 x CP0.22µF Capacitors (SB Part CP0.22uF)
- 8 x 1k Resistors (SB Part R1k)
- 2.2 MegaOhm Resistor (SB Part R2.2M)
- 3 MegaOhm Resistor (SB Part R3M)
- 3.3 MegaOhm Resistor (SB Part R3.3M)
- 4.3 MegaOhm Resistor (SB Part R4.3M)

SunSwingers
Remember the old SunSwinger? That nice and pretty red'n'gold layout? Well, they're GONE. No more! Finito! With that said, we're happy to introduce the new SunSwinger... The ones in black and gold (at no increase in price)!
