A New Gadget

Wednesday, August 4th, 2010

Living in Berlin forces me to do quite a lot of cycling every day. These extensive trips tend to be quite boring when they repeat themselves and music helps passing the time. My style of driving allows no earplugs and since the shipment of speakers for the Diskokugel arrived, I came up with my own bike sound system.
It’s made up out of standard sewage parts (fire proof, for what its worth) and hold a tda7052 as amplifier. I’m thinking about making a series to sell them, but for now the cost of the parts add up to € 12,- and it takes some time to build them. Seems, electronic devices are only cost-efficient when assembled by children in asia :-(

The TDA7052 runs on 4 AAA batteries and lies on the bottom of the tube. There is also the on/off switch. The whole system is (hopefully) waterproof.
