Mothra & Godzilla from @btanselanoican’s gijinka D&D/fantasy kaiju series // Cosplayers: @strangecatcosplay & @Fooprawn // photos: Ejen Chuang

My Mom is a skilled sewist and used to make Halloween costumes for my sisters and I when we were young. My sister was born on Halloween so we always had costumes and fun celebrations. That started my fascination with dressing up in costume and I always had fun doing it. 

As I got older, my Mom taught me how to sew. In 2010 I saw Alice in Wonderland, and fell in love with the costume designs Colleen Atwood brought to the screen. 

My Mom helped me a lot with making an Alice cosplay, and I went to my first anime convention. I had never been to one, and after that I wanted to go to more. I fell in love with the fun process of making cosplays and have been doing it since. It's a huge part of my life now, and I met both of my partners through cosplay.

Godzilla movies have a special place in my heart. I always loved sci-fi and fantasy, monsters and crazy costumes. Mothra and Battra are my favorites, so when I saw the designs by btanselanoican, I was inspired. It brought back a sense of nostalgia and happiness while making parts of the cosplays. I still have more details that I want to add and fix, but my Mothra cosplay is one of my favorite projects I have worked on in a long time.

It was a long process, and involved many different materials. For Mothra, I started with the wig. It involved a lot of cotton batting and white felt to build up the shape without adding a lot of weight, then shaping the wig fibers over that. I made the antennae out of wire and painted felt. The earrings are made of cut brass and painted beads. For the dress, it was a lot of patterning by pinning fabrics to my dressform, making a first draft, then using that to cut the actual fabric. I made a corset and skirt, and then the robe/dress piece that wraps over that. The skirt started out white, but was then dyed to the right colors. The sleeves were the hardest part to figure out. They were dyed and painted by hand, before being sewn to the dress. There are also a lot of appliqued gold fabric pieces on the dress. I made the belt, and all the shiny belt petals are also hand-cut brass pieces.

The wings are made of wire and old tights, that I then stitched, painted, and shaped to fit along my back.

The staff is made from a PVC pipe and foam base, then I added the electronics. There are green LEDs, and a small 10rpm motor that makes the moth wings move. I covered everything with foam strips, making them look like wood and vines. There are compartments made of foam and magnets, that way I can get to the battery pack or motor if I need to. I then added the paint and flowers. The moths are made of foam, pipe cleaners, painted posterboard, and faux fur. The moth wings are attached to the motor via some old ukulele strings. The monofilament keeps its shape and is light, but also strong. It's fed through old metal brakeline tubing that goes through the staff.

For Godzilla, it was a lot of use of canvas cotton. We found these huge canvas dropcloths at the hardware store, and they were surprisingly soft, but sturdy, after washing them. They have a thick woven texture and take fabric dye really well. We used that for making Godzilla's pants and shirt. The cape was made of thick cotton, cut, weathered, and painted. The spine has LEDs in it that go up into the hood. His chest and hip armor is all actual leather, patterned by hand and stitched together. The chainmail on the hip armor is hand made as well. His arm and leg armor is more canvas and layers of thick fabric. His shoes are leather and layered canvas and cotton. They are made by hand, and if you look on the bottom they have a Godzilla footprint.

All the "claws" on his hand armor and foot pieces are made of bamboo from the backyard. All of the woven rope pieces are cotton wrapped fleece, braided together for a thick and lightweight rope.

The sword is PVC and foam for a base. The lights are two different sets: a LED string light set, and a neopixel setup. The neopixels were soldered by hand, and are controlled by a command board that also controls a speaker. We set it to play Godzilla's roar with custom light animations. It has a plastazote foam to diffuse the lights, and then more EVA foam on top.

When I saw the designs I fell in love with the props, the attention to detail, and the use of color. Plus, I have always loved Dungeons and Dragons, so putting them into that universe was such a wonderful idea. I also look for fun challenges when it comes to props, and Mothra's staff was so beautiful. I couldn't resist.

Having experience in textile studies has helped me so much with my understanding of how different fabrics work with dyes. I used a lot of dye techniques for different parts of these cosplays. Godzilla's pants and shirt were dyed, Mothra's skirt was dyed two different times, the sleeves were dyed, painted with more dye, and then painted again. I don't think I would have been able to make my Mothra cosplay the way I wanted to without that prior knowledge and experience.

The best part is the magic staff. I am so proud of how it turned out and the way the moths move makes me so happy!

The only thing that I get tired of is that occasionally I run into things with the wire wings, and the long dress can make it hard to go through crowds in convention halls.

Held by the beat, this heart is steel

Fated for battle until we burn up

Train in Vain: Chapter 7 Target Acquired

Summary:

For your new friends, you boldly go where no Saturday night has taken you before, but you might just be in over your head.

Notes:

If you can't tell I really enjoy scene-setting. There will be stuff that happens next chapter I promise lol.

TWs: afab Reader. Alcohol mentions and drinking mentions. Drug and drug dealing mentions. Potential danger.

You hadn’t realized how cold the night had become until you found yourself confidently stalking away from the circle of people. The close proximity of your two large friends had radiated warmth and security through your body all night. Now, all alone, the frigid air took its opportunity to bite through any exposed flesh that it could find. Your initial high of resolve was violently harshed by the sharp gusts of wind which seemed to target your hands and ankles spitefully. Your gate shorted and velocity slowed as you burrowed your icy fingers in your armpits. Your shoulders hunched slightly against the rushes of night air in a futile attempt to concentrate your waning heat and bolster your similarly diminishing assuredness.

You’d seen wires in TV shows and movies. It was a simple enough mic and receiver that Tashigi had taped to your belly. What your Hollywood exposure to government espionage hadn’t shown you was how damn itchy and uncomfortable wires were against bare skin. The plastic and metal contraption rubbed against your core as you walked. It suddenly hit you that you might have to use the restroom while wired, but before you could even think about being embarrassed over the potential scenario, you’d reached the door to the bar.

You grabbed the metal handle and the heavy door swung open with aggressive help from the wind. The bell above you clanged sharply in contact with the door, announcing your arrival. The place was a pretty classicly unimpressive one-room dive. The dark-stained wooden bar jutted out from the left side of the room and ran the length of the establishment, heavy wooden bar stools dotting its path here and there. The backsplash of the bar was a long and warped mirror with tarnish that marked its age and wear. Along the right wall were uncomfortable-looking booths made out of the same dark-stained wood that made the place look even dimmer than it already was. The lone chandelier that hung in the center of the long room was antique brass and probably hadn’t been cleaned since it was installed. Two of its electric faux candles flickered erratically at distinctly different paces, almost immediately giving you a headache. Some Dean Martin song crooned cornily through muffled speakers from somewhere you couldn’t pinpoint.

The booze selection was as spectacular as the bar itself, that is to say, not at all. There were only two rows of bottles behind the bar counter and you didn’t spot anything which looked even remotely like top-shelf liquor. There were just two patrons inside. One was sitting at a barstool near the door and didn’t react whatsoever to your loud entrance. You could see in the reflection of the mirror that the man was, for lack of a better term, absolutely blotto. He stared at his reflection, eyes puffy and red while sipping beer slowly from a tallboy can. The man was middle-aged, chin and face darkened with stubble, still wearing his coat and flat-brimmed cap despite the bar being a fairly decent temperature inside.

The other patron was a younger man lounging at one of the middle booths. He had positioned himself as best he could to get comfortable on the rigid wooden bench seat. His legs were splayed out into the walking aisle and he mindlessly scrolled on his phone while sipping from a pint glass. He looked up at you briefly but almost immediately returned his gaze to the phone screen.

After a brief pause, you walked to the middle of the bar and slid onto one of the wooden stools. You leaned on your elbows, purposefully keeping your coat on and purse over your shoulder. Hopefully, you’d get upstairs quickly. You noticed two wooden doors at the right end of the bar; you assumed one led upstairs and one led to a bathroom but couldn’t tell which one was which. There was also a small saloon door behind the bar just to your right which you would’ve normally assumed led to a kitchen but you couldn’t imagine this place serving food.

A tall man slinked through the saloon doors as he dried a dingy pint glass with an old rag. He immediately noticed you, locking your gaze with a jovial smile.

“Welcome. What can I get ya?” He offered with obviously phony enthusiasm.

The man was probably in his fifties and sported a long grey beard with equally long grey hair. He wore a dark purple buttonup and a bright yellow tie adorned with happy red flowers. His eyeglasses were pink-rimmed and shaped like stars. Everything about the man’s appearance should’ve amused you but something about him put you on edge. He seemed dangerous despite attempting to convey the contrary.

You were about to stammer out an “um” when you stopped yourself, realizing that a drug dealer would probably be more self-assured. You clenched your muscles, bracing.

“I’m here about the job opportunity,” you said nonchalantly letting your voice be somewhat drowned out by whatever corny, probably Perry Como-sung lovesong that was now seeping out of the walls.

The bartender raised an eyebrow at you skeptically.

“What name should I give our manager?” He replied, placing the opaque pint glass down on the counter.

“Monet,” you replied, not breaking his gaze.

“You’re Monet? The one I’ve heard about?” He asked, obviously unimpressed.

“What, disappointed?” You countered quickly.

“No, just...I had heard you weren’t coming.” The man looked at you suspiciously.

You were worried that if you let him stare at you long enough he might discover something to prove that you were a fraud. Luckily, you frequently felt like a fraud in your normal life due to chronic anxiety so you were practiced in staying cool under prying eyes.

You let a sigh pass noisily out your nostrils as you rested your chin in your right hand.

“Does Joker really have time for this?” You asked, exasperated.

The man set his jaw and squinted at you. You felt your heart rate quicken and sunk your right moler into the side of your tongue to distract yourself with pain. The warm taste of iron pooled around your tooth. This was an old tactic you used when you wanted to keep a straight face despite overwhelming emotion; never letting childhood bullies see you cry was finally paying off.

The man opened his mouth to say something further but never got the chance. From the left door at the end of the bar, the most disgusting-looking person you’d ever seen barged into the room.

“Nyeh, Disco, I need you to close the bar for these interviews—” The large, soggy-looking man made eye contact with you and stopped.

You used this interruption to your advantage. You stood up calmly and approached the looming man despite your fear and the moist sheen reflecting off his skin.

“I’m Monet. It’s good to finally meet you.” You said offering the man your hand.

The looming figure leaned towards you and grabbed your hand with both of his. Every hair from every pore on your body shot upwards. You’d never felt skin this wet before. The sensation wasn’t like he’d just washed his hands or had been in a pool; the dampness was thick like the sludge that accumulated around the old drainpipe in your shower. Your body betrayed you. Your eyes widened with shock but you bit down harder on your tongue to keep yourself from making a sound. The man had bent over to get face-to-face with you but didn’t seem to notice your reaction. Mucus trailed from his nostrils, jiggling buoyantly as he breathed.

“Nyeh, Trebol. Nice to meet you. Now that we’ve met we can get married. Behehe. Kidding.” Trebol winked at you and retracted his right hand to push up his glasses which had slid down his slick nose. “Nyeh, follow me. Dof—uh Joker is starting soon.” He said letting go of your hand and turning to walk back up the stairs.

Thanking gods that you did not believe in for your immense luck and for Trebol letting go of your hand, you turned to wave at Disco. You saw that the two patrons had already left the bar and Disco stood in the middle of the room. He stared at you sternly as you followed Trebol up the stairs.

--

The stairway was dark and longer than you had anticipated. You worried for a moment that Trebol had seen through your ruse and was leading you into a cell or to a dead end with a firing squad. Your fear toyed with your brain as you silently followed the enormous man up the stairs. All of a sudden, you emerged into a large, brightly lit room.

Shockingly, the dim stairway had led you into the middle of a grand foyer. The floors were hardwood and sparkled immaculately underneath your feet. The ceilings were high with crisp, eggshell crown molding and the walls were painted an elegant shade of maroon.

“Nyeh, you can put your coat in there.” Without slowing down, Trebol motioned to a large coat closet on your right.

“N—no I’m alright,” You stammered. You needed to pull yourself together but the contrast between the bar and this foyer was already staggering.

You toddled behind Trebol as he continued out of the foyer. Your jaw dropped. It was a grand ballroom with two large crystal chandeliers. All around the room were casino-style card tables with people who looked like waiters manning each.

Beautiful women in floor-length ball gowns hung off the arms of men in smoking jackets. There were only around twenty people there, but it was still a shocking change of pace from downstairs. Everyone was either playing cards or chatting in small groups. Frank Sinatra sang from surround-sound speakers and a fire cracked and popped happily in the grand fireplace. There was a small sitting area off to the right side of the room in front of the fireplace with emerald-upholstered fainting couches and high-backed chairs. There were stairs leading up at the end of the room along with multiple hallways leading in different directions.

You clenched your teeth to prevent shock from painting your face. Trebol led you around the left side of this room. A few of the beautiful women and beautifully dressed men stared at you as you passed. Trebol turned and led you down a hallway to the left.

The hallway entered into another, much smaller room divided into two sections by furniture. On the right side was a large, ornately carved desk with a chess set mid-game and many different cell phones laid out on top of it. On the left was a seating area with five chairs all pointed at the right side of the room.

Three people were already seated in the chairs on the left. The one furthest from the door was an older woman. She was wearing a bright purple dress and cat-eye glasses with a beaded chain that swept down behind her ears and around her neck. Her hair was dyed bright red and she wore a large, gaudy string of pearls. The man sitting in the middle was an unassuming middle-aged man with a crew cut. He was dressed in a white collared shirt and black slacks. Despite seeming fairly ordinary, he was large and had an intensity about his quiet demeanor. The person seated most closely to the door was another large man with long, blonde hair and bicep muscles bulging out of his tight, black t-shirt. He sat with one long arm over the back of his chair. He cocked his head towards you and Trebol as you stepped into the room. The bicep man’s, crazy, intense eyes and evil grin would’ve drawn your gaze if you weren’t already staring at the man behind the desk.

He was huge. Probably bigger than Kid. (Why were all the men you met tonight so INEXPLICABLY LARGE?) The enormous man’s bottle-blond hair was styled upwards into peaks framing his handsome, almost pretty, face. He wore pink, cat-eye sunglasses despite it being night and him being indoors. You’d normally have thought this was incredibly stupid but it somehow made him seem even more intimidating because you could not clearly determine where he was looking. His white collared shirt was unbuttoned and untucked from his pink, silk suitpants revealing an intensely chiseled musculature. He lounged in his armchair, legs spread and arms slumped over the sides lazily. Across the back of the chair, a pink feather boa coat was draped. A beautiful whisp of a woman in a blue, backless dress was seated daintily on his right thigh. The woman was rubbing his wide shoulders with her petite left hand. You stared into his sunglasses as you saw him tilt his head towards you. You knew this was your target. You knew this was Joker.

yet he doesn’t know what. he could probably chalk it up to master and mistress being harsh, but the facts don’t add up. [WD-ID: Cyn] was always somewhat skittish. she wouldn’t be caught out of line. she’s far too sneaky and clever. lately, however, she’s far less fleeting. she’s not around Tessa as much either, which is saddening but ultimately understandable. maybe [WD-ID: Cyn] felt left out and decided to branch off entirely. she might be doing her own thing. it would explain her sudden confidence.

something happened. he knows it. [WD-ID: Cyn] moves differently, with a strange assurance in herself that was not there before. she talks to herself when she thinks nobody is listening. her optics are off-color, which is not so bad—perhaps Tessa replaced her screen—but there’s something in her stare that makes his core distribute a little more energy to his servos. ( she sometimes watches him with a sort of curiosity, as if sizing him up. it makes him feel small in the same way that mistress’s sparing glances do. )

N-0# gently places the vase down, moving to clean the photo next to it. he begins to wipe dust off the frame. he’s probably overthinking it. [WD-ID: Cyn] seems more sure of herself. that’s a good thing. she doesn’t talk to him frequently like she used to. that’s alright, people change! it’s not as if he’s anything special, either. he’s encouraged her to talk to other drones, so she may have! the thought of [WD-ID-Cyn] making friends causes a small smile to appear on his muzzle.

regardless, he’s proud of her sudden bolster of confidence. he’s simply a little worried. there seems to be some tension in the air when she shows up—N-0# knows [WD-ID: V-II]’s posture and voice well enough to tell her wires become a little more shot in [WD-ID: Cyn]’s presence, and [WD-ID: J-##] and Tessa both watch [WD-ID: Cyn] like hawks. sometimes they make motions to each other when [WD-ID: Cyn] isn’t looking. he isn’t fluent in all of their silent communication, but he knows enough to understand that they’re talking about [WD-ID: Cyn].

something happened. he knows it. the butler’s fans whirr in a low exhale as he cleans the glass protecting the picture. he moves the cloth off to the side. there’s several yellow glowing dots reflected in the glass, gazing at him from over his shoulder. N-0#’s digital brow furrows in concern and he rotates his head a hundred and eighty degrees to glance in that direction.

there’s nothing there.

he shakes his head and places the picture down. he probably needs to recalibrate his optics. there’s been a lot of stress on his systems lately. N-0# drapes the cleaning-cloth over his forearm and turns to advance down the hall. perhaps tonight he can invite [WD-ID: Cyn] to a movie hangout and get her to tell him what’s on her mind." <<; std::endl; } };

Botsona descriptions! This is extremely self indulgent and mostly for my own sake, so I'm tucking it behind a cut.

Default/futuristic: Chrome body with digitigrade legs; limbs are detached and connected with some kind of glowing force at the joints. Segmented tail. Body shape just on the feminine side of androgynous. Screen for a face with a minimalist geometric expression in glowing blue. Hair is a holographic rainbow lionfish mane. Wearing a skater dress with a neural network pattern.

late century retro: Lots of transparent purple plastic ala the original iMac. Floating joints have more of a ball and socket look to them. Similar face, but low res CRT in neon colors. Wearing a fitted 20 GOTO 10 shirt and an asymmetrical skirt with a circuit board design. The hair is less holographic and more cyberlocs/rainbow wires.

early century retro: Brass body instead of chrome. Face is a cyan oscilloscope (so the facial features are drawn out of one connected line.) Features on the top of the head suggest goggles. Hair is made of paper punch tape, and extrudes in different color to show emotions. Big ol' windup key in the back. Wearing a 1950s style cocktail dress with vacuum tube schematic pattern.

Fantasy: Crystal construct, face is basically an emoticon made of glowing magic runes on the polished front face. Lots of magical energy threading through the whole body. Hair is made of magical rainbow lightning that's cool to the touch. Wearing a wrap dress printed with shifting sigil formulae.

[majokothesmol]

I had some Legend of Zelda Thoughts and do you guys think the pieces of the triforce feel like things?

Like, Wisdom. Is it water? Soft pages of paper? Bright screens of tech? It probably tastes like vegetables. Wisdom sounds like woodwinds, strings, monotone ramblings, and sheet music. I bet if you touched it, you'd be able to see all the things you already knew fall into place, and sort your thoughts and feelings as easily as little wooden blocks.

Power definitely feels warm. It's the texture of raw foods and bending wire. It probably has a texture like rubber, something with stretch. I think everyone knows Power is loud, it's the beating of drums and a fanfare of brass. It definitely has a weight to it, but I bet that you could hold it easily and never tire.

Courage probably feels like... Trying? It's burnt food that slowly gets better, abyssal scores that turn into something good with studying, and it sounds like a middle school band. It's a hard choice. It's many hard choices. Courage is a carbonated drink. Something caffeinated that makes you feel giddy. I bet holding it feels like a lucky charm.

I have an idea for a light switch

Now, to be clear this is theoretical and just something I'd want for me, not to sell or anything, and there's a lot of kinks I'd have to work out

Anyway, so certain touch screens use electric input from our bodies, right? So my thought is trying to find a way to use a brass or copper plate like you have around a switch, and make it so that touching it turns the light on and off

I want this for a few reasons

Reason one, I want either copper or brass plates anyway for their anti microbial properties, but having this nasty plastic piece sticking out... I don't like it

Also, when you have paired light switches say for the top and bottom of a stairwell, dislike that very much. One ends up in the up state and the other in the down state? Horrible, hate it. I ignore it, but I hate it. No switch, means none of that, it's either off or on

...I suppose those are actually the only two reasons, but I'd also like to engrave the plates, and also see if there was a way to include a dimmer switch in it by like... you touch low it's dim, touch high it's high kinda thing

Not something I'll be doing tomorrow, probably not something I'll ever manage, but I just... I feel like there's some way to wire things up as a variation on normal light switches where you could use having a metal plate to at the very least turn things off and on when you tap it

How to Choose the Right Testing Sieves for Your Application

Selecting the appropriate testing sieve for your application is crucial to achieving accurate and reliable particle size analysis. Testing sieves are essential tools in industries such as pharmaceuticals, food processing, construction, and mining, where precise material classification and quality control are vital. Here’s a detailed guide on how to choose the right testing sieves for your specific needs.

Understand Your Material

The first step in selecting a testing sieve is to understand the characteristics of the material you are testing. Consider the particle size distribution, the nature of the material (e.g., fine powders, granules, or aggregates), and any specific properties such as moisture content or abrasiveness. This information will help you determine the appropriate sieve mesh size and material.

Determine the Required Mesh Size

Mesh size is a critical factor in sieve selection. It refers to the number of openings per linear inch in the sieve screen. The mesh size you need depends on the particle size range you are analyzing. For fine powders, you will need sieves with smaller mesh sizes (higher mesh numbers), while coarser materials require sieves with larger openings (lower mesh numbers). It’s important to choose a mesh size that will effectively separate your material into the desired fractions.

Consider Sieve Material

Testing sieves are available in various materials, including stainless steel, brass, and plastic. Stainless steel sieves are highly durable and resistant to corrosion, making them suitable for most applications. Brass sieves are often used for dry sieving of non-abrasive materials. Plastic sieves are lightweight and may be suitable for certain applications where metal sieves are not ideal. Choose a sieve material that is compatible with your material and testing environment.

Assess Sieve Construction Quality

The quality of the sieve construction can significantly impact its performance and longevity. Look for sieves with a robust frame and uniform, tightly woven mesh. The sieve should be free from defects such as loose wires or uneven openings. High-quality construction ensures accurate results and extends the lifespan of the sieve.

Compliance with Standards

Ensure that the testing sieves you choose comply with relevant industry standards and regulations, such as ASTM, ISO, or other applicable standards. Compliance guarantees that the sieves meet specific quality and performance criteria, ensuring consistency and reliability in your testing processes.

Evaluate Sieve Stack Compatibility

If you plan to use multiple sieves in a stack, ensure they are compatible in terms of size and fit. Sieves should nest securely to prevent material loss and ensure accurate separation. Compatibility with existing equipment, such as sieve shakers, is also important for efficient testing.

Consider Your Testing Environment

The environment in which you will be using the sieves can influence your choice. For example, if you are working in a wet or corrosive environment, stainless steel sieves are preferable due to their resistance to rust and corrosion. For dry, non-abrasive materials, brass or plastic sieves might be suitable. By carefully considering these factors, you can choose the right testing sieve that meets your specific application needs, ensuring accurate and reliable particle size analysis.

The new life for your old AM radio (DIY micro power AM MW transmitter AMT-MW207)

Are you the type of person who likes listening to good ol' radio like I do? Unfortunately, medium-wave broadcasting has decayed in the last few decades. There's nothing in many areas, even at night when medium wavelengths work best. That’s why the radios from our childhood stay unused and collect dust.

Today, we will make a small medium-wave radio transmitter that can help you check and configure AM radio receivers and listen to music through them if you connect an MP3 player or smartphone.

The power of this transmitter is 0.0005 watts, and the range is about 3 feet, so you won't disturb your neighbors or need a license for it.   The transmitter is AMT-MW207 and was developed by an enthusiast under the nickname "Radio Lover". The circuit is proven to work perfectly and stays unchanged, but the layout of the PCBs can be different. For example, here is the newest and perhaps most nice-looking version 1.3 revision 2, dated September 15, 2022.

I've assembled ver. 1.2 rev. 7. It has a green board, no frequency scale, and the wavelength adjustment knob is located at the very bottom of the board. I consider these differences to be purely aesthetic. The transmission frequency can be viewed much more accurately on the screen of a separate frequency meter or oscilloscope.

Older versions are less convenient to attach the testing hook of the oscilloscope to, and they have no cutouts in the back of the PCB for winding up excess wire. The differences are generally insignificant; all versions of the transmitter work and sound the same.

The DIY kit was designed and kitted with passion: brass fittings, high-quality AA battery holders, and neat resistor value markings.

The potentiometer volume knob was not forgotten either; they also got me a good 3.5 mm TRS-TRS cable. In fact, this is an important detail. You sure can twist the variable resistor's shaft without a handle. Still, you won’t be able to connect a player or a laptop if there is no connecting cable. You won’t be able to try out a freshly assembled device, which will ruin the mood.

The transmitter circuit is simple yet elegant. Transistors Q1 and Q2 are a long-tailed pair, and Q3 is its current stabilizer.

A transistor current stabilizer is an emitter follower whose load is a resistor R6.

According to Ohm's law, the current through this resistor will be equal to the voltage across it divided by its resistance. The voltage at the emitter of a transistor connected to a circuit with a common collector is similar to the voltage at the base minus Vbe.

Vbe, the voltage between the base and the emitter for a particular transistor, is an almost constant value. Nothing is ideal, so Vbe actually depends on the temperature and base current, but these influences are tiny and can be ignored.

R3 and R4 together are a voltage divider. With a supply voltage of 6 volts, the current through this divider is 6V / (R3 + R4) = 6V / 59.2 kOhm = 101 µA. We neglect the base current of transistor Q3, which is connected in parallel with R4. I will explain why later.

The voltage at R4 is 101 µA * 8.2 kOhm = 828 mV. As Vbe = 0.63 V, resistor R6 gets the remaining 199 mV. Then, the current through it will be 60.3 µA.

The emitter current of transistor Q3 is the sum of its collector and base currents. The collector current is β times the base current, where β is the current gain coefficient of the transistor.

The average value of β for the 9011 transistor is 90. That is, the collector current is 60.3 µA * (β-1)/β = 60.3 µA * 89/90 = 59.63 µA.

The base current is 60.3 µA / β = 0.67 µA, less than 0.7% of the R3R4 divider current. Therefore, the base current can be neglected even in such a microampere case due to the fact that Q3 is connected as an emitter follower.

That is, it has a very high input impedance. It can even be calculated: Rin = Vin / Ib = 199 mV / 0.67 µA = 297 kOhm.

Even if our transistor has twice the current gain, β = 180, then the input resistance of such a stage with a common collector at an emitter current of 60 μA is twice as high and equals 594 kOhm.

So, the base current of Q3 is almost zero, and the collector current is almost equal to the emitter. The emitter follower has a high input impedance and can also serve as a voltage-to-current converter and a stable current generator.

This can be useful in many cases, for example, when powering LEDs. Or for generators of linearly varying voltage, their capacitors are charged with a stabilized current. Hence, the voltage across them increases linearly. In the era of cathode-ray oscilloscopes, such generators were used to deflect the beam horizontally.

In addition to the constant voltage from the divider R3R4, an audio signal is supplied to the base of transistor Q3. Identical resistors R1 and R2 mix stereo down to mono. Capacitors C1 and C2 let alternating current pass through and block direct current.

Potentiometer W regulates the amplitude of the signal. With the same voltage divider as R3R4, only the ratio of the resistances of the upper and lower branches can be changed by turning the knob.

So, transistors Q1 and Q2 form a differential amplifier. The total current of these two transistors, set by the current stabilizer on Q3 and modulated by the incoming audio signal, is redistributed between Q1 and Q2, depending on the voltage difference at their bases.

Collector Q1 is connected to the power supply positive terminal. Thus, the output of the differential amplifier is the collector of Q2, the inverting input is the base of Q2, and the non-inverting input is the base of Q1.

Resistors R7 and R8 set a constant bias for the bases of Q1 and Q2. Let's assume that the input impedance of each of the inputs of the differential amplifier is 100 kOhm.

Then, the current I1 will be twice as high as the current I2. After all, base Q2 is directly connected to the node between R5 and R7, and base Q1 base is connected through resistor R5 with a resistance equal to the input. That is, the base current, and therefore the collector current, for Q1 will be half as low.

We get a system of equations: I2 = I1 * 2; I1 + I2 = I3 = 60 µA.

The solution to the system of equations is I1 * 3 = 60 μA; I1 = 20 µA; I2 = 40 µA. These are precisely the reference current values that the author of the scheme mentioned in his explanations.

Older versions of the board, if you look closely, had jumpers for you to connect a multimeter as a microammeter and adjust the operation modes of transistors with trim potentiometers, which should be soldered in place of R3, R5, and R7.

However, judging by everyone's experience, these transmitters work perfectly with the included resistors and need no tweaking. Therefore, jumpers were removed from the new versions, but the holes for trim pots were left on the PCB.

The load of the differential amplifier is the LC resonant tank L1C4, and the output is connected to the non-inverting input through capacitor C3. The inverting input is grounded for alternating current by capacitor C5.

We have the Colpitts generator, which we've studied in the previous post! The only difference is that it is assembled not on one transistor but on a three-transistor differential amplifier.

C4 is a variable capacitor for adjusting the oscillation frequency, and L1 is a ferrite rod wound coil of the transmitting magnetic antenna.

The L2 coil connects an oscilloscope, frequency meter, or spectrum analyzer. You can also try connecting an external antenna to it to increase the transmission range. This won't help much because the operating currents of our transmitter are only tens of microamps, but it won't hurt either.

This transmitter sounds high-quality. Of course, you can clearly hear that this is an AM radio because this is indeed a real AM radio! The quality of FM transmission is much higher, which is one of the main reasons that it has replaced good old AM.

The sine wave on the oscilloscope screen looks nice at first glance. But if we look closely, we will see that the upper half-wave is slightly pointed, and the lower one is rounded and even a little flattened.

From an article about a homemade tube amplifier, we already know that such a waveform indicates a significant presence of the second harmonic and a small admixture of the third harmonic. For a powerful transmitter, this would be bad, but for a compact one, it is fine.

By the way, the eight-transistor superheterodyne in the video is also a DIY project. If you are interested, I can write another post on this and my other radios with a detailed description.
