Required parts: 9V battery*, 2x 1K resistor (brown black red gold), 2x 100K resistor 
(brown black yellow gold), 2x red LED, 2 x BC547 transistors, 2x 10µF electrolytic 
capacitors 
The LED on-time can be calculated: 
T = 0,693 x R1(
Ω) x C1 (F)
T = 0,693 x 100.000 x 0.00001 = 0,693sec.
How it works: The 2 transistors 
alternately conduct because the 
capacitors are charged and discharged. 
The speed at which this happens 
depends on the capacitors (C1, C2) 
and the resistors (R1, R2). Use a 
higher capacitor and resistor value in 
order to extend the LED lighting time.
