Stable Strobe Effects
The 0.1mF capacitor has no electrical
effect,but it helps to hold the motor in place
better and reduce vibrations. Less motor
vibration makes the disc holder more
stable, and so makes the patterns a little
clearer. See if you can notice a difference.

Strobe Effects (II)
When the disc pattern is totally blurred,
it appears to be white. Combining equal
amounts of red, green, and blue makes
white. The LED in the color organ IC
combines red, green, and blue lights to
make white.
Use the circuits from projects 47 and 48,
but add the 0.1mF capacitor (C2) next to
the motor, as shown here. Set the strobe
speed so the patterns are visible, and
see if they look less blurred than before.
Replace the disc in the disc holder with the one
shown here, and repeat projects 47-49. Observe
the strobe effects. To remove a disc from the
holder, use your fingernail, or use a pencil to push
it up from beneath one of the tabs.
Replace the disc in the disc holder with the one
shown here, and repeat projects 47-49.
Observe the strobe effects. At some RV
settings, the rainbow of colors comes into view.
Replace the disc in the disc holder with the one
shown here, and repeat projects 47-49.
Observe the strobe effects. This unusual
pattern produces several amazing displays at
different RV settings.
Replace the disc in the disc holder with the one
shown here, and repeat projects 47-49.
Observe the strobe effects. With this pattern,
some areas may appear to be moving at
different speeds or directions. Sometimes you
can see all the colors on the disc, but
sometimes you can see all the colors except
blue, which is hidden.
