This design has since evolved into the Drone Jar.
Built inside a reused jar, this drone synthesizer consists of three square-wave oscillators modulating against each other. The pitch of each is controlled by outside light sources hitting the three light sensors inside, so there is a lot of room for experimenting.
All of the components are built in a three-dimensional floating circuit that comes down from the lid of the jar.
There is a single toggle on/off switch and two red LEDs indicate power.
Audio Out: 1/4″ mono
Power: 9V Battery
This was built in a numbered series of ten.
