That's awesome! I'm gonna go pick up a timer on my way home from work today and try it.

Btw, what aerospace company do you work for? I'm working for USA over in Titusville...

I followed all the directions except...i used the multi setting version from wal-mart...it allows you to vary it up a bit more...

Thanks for the idea...it works great.

Nobody get thes guy mad. A some nails, a clothespin, and a stapler and he'll turn it onto a uzi.

Awesome job on the wavemaker. BTW, does it have a soft start?

Yeah, they do take up some room, but if you jam them into the socket, it will fit!

Havoc1010, have you been to a BARS meeting yet? You should joi us if not

Has anyone made a solid state wavemaker using a 555 timer? Shouldn't be too hard or use that many parts. Been out of the electronics hobby for a while.. maybe I should get back into it.

Mr Bojangles... you are a madman! I love it. I have been searching for something like this for a while.

Thanks for your creativity. Got any ideas on a DIY 250 MH BULB?? JK
