8. Transistors

  1. We’re going to use transistors (the normally open and normally closed valves). These are activated by a pressure on their blue tube (gate).
  2. Build the breadboard setup. Use the yellow plugs to ensure the tubes don’t pop out.
  3. Turn on the pump. Deactivate and activate the flag by (firmly!) squeezing the bulb.
  1. Now replace the normally open transistor with the normally closed one. How does this change the functioning of the circuit?
