#180 In this video I start looking at the basic connections in which the bipolar transistor can be used in. First one on the list is the common collector connection. With this method, the collector is kept at a fixed supply point and the signal is passed trough the transistor using the other 2 pins. Each connection method has its own special proprieties, with this one its mainly unity voltage gain and high input impedance and low output impedance.

#188 In this video I try something a bit more different than normal. Rather than talk about a specific technical subject, I want to take you trough my quest of building a power supply for home use. Its nothing particularly special, but it does not have to be, it just needs to work and be reliable.
