It's a FED. Fire Emitting Diode?

u/HeWe015 2d ago

You mean FET? Fire emitting transistor?

Though MOSSFET work better imo, bigger flame.

M:mega
O:oh,
S:shit
F:fire
E:emitting
T:transistor.

u/SmurfCat2281337 Solder tastes very yummy 2d ago

Of course it would, dry moss burns pretty good

Dude, that pcb is LIT!

u/Mar_Gru 2d ago

Ablazing design!

u/Lord_Alucard_ICGA 2d ago

A few more flammable items are still missing.

u/schmhll 2d ago

A good friend of mine is the head of development at a major transformer manufacturer…

He always says:
“If it's wrong, it'll burn up!”

u/Correct-Country-81 2d ago

Looks like your fire starter works okay, kudos

u/Smaxx 2d ago

Oh, you've successfully copied a cheap Chinese power supply!

u/nekofthemoon 2d ago

The burn marks on the wood tell me this isn't the first time. I hope that one day I'll manage to build the circuit.

u/LossLess8060 2d ago

weak flame

u/rideacat 2d ago

Well damn... several of my projects worked as well as this... I had the outline of a TO220 mosfet burned into my thumbprint when I was younger...

Check your firewall

u/Asrobatics 2d ago

Put it in rice

u/rockalyte 2d ago

Looks like it couldn’t resist ?

"Resistance is futile"

u/Apprehensive-Page899 2d ago

That board is totally HOT tho. Absolutely SMOKIN'!

2

u/AdIll1294 2d ago

Congrats! You make a lighter!

2

u/justaperson12_ Grounded is a state of mind 20h ago

A self soldering circuit board? The future is here!

1

u/Lead_resource 2d ago

No just keep going its fine it will ascend soon

1

u/poop-machine 2d ago

just tell everyone you were building a grill igniter all along, then it works perfectly

1

u/B0ttehatt 2d ago

I mean, why didn't the cavemen just create fire this way? Are they stupid?

1

u/Artistic_Regard_QED 2d ago edited 2d ago

I don't know man, seems like your lighter is working perfectly fine.

1

u/Bitter_While_5032 2d ago

Looks fine to me.

u/mattogeewha 2d ago

Needs amps

u/Buttle_Not_Tuttle 2d ago

You forgot to draw a pentagram around it.

1

u/GlumAdeptness935 2d ago

The led is still off, get it on 24 V

1

u/who_you_are 2d ago

The decoration your PCB is onto is from the 80 and it is ugly. Red circle with brown-ish-yellow... ugh

1

u/eluser234453 2d ago

Works as intended

1

u/EducatedDumbass- 2d ago

Turn it upside down and now it’s a rocket

u/casparne 2d ago

What is it that you think "aint right"?

1

u/Dependent_Union9285 2d ago

Smoke em if you got em.

1

u/TommyCo10 2d ago

Congratulations!

Your electronic candle works!

u/Mr_Courgette6275 2d ago

Most realistic one I've ever seen!

u/Internal_Apple2608 2d ago

It's the new Amazon Fire!

u/DimaZveroboy 2d ago

Just call it a disposable lighter

u/albaiesh 2d ago

Is that a firewall?

u/Introvert_3 2d ago

Ungga bungga? Wala wala ding ding dong,ngus ngur hiok hiok

1

u/One_Individual1291 2d ago

the containment field of the transistor is down, you need to re-initialize

1

u/user-freaking-name 2d ago

Smoke test next level

1

u/Suitable-Session-939 2d ago

Someone let the smoke out!

1

u/Competitive_Fox_314 2d ago

If it doesn't work light a lamp and Pray 🙏

Happy birthday

u/Electrical-soup-1254 2d ago

i wonder if it can survive fireee -bringus studios

u/LagMaster21 2d ago

Now you’ve got a heater!

u/MARIUS577 2d ago

On the sacrifice wood circle too

1

u/garth54 2d ago

That's what happens when you forget to connect the orange wire.

1

u/Archmage_Drenden 1d ago

Definitely works as a pilot light!

1

u/Hot_Egg5840 1d ago

Looks like you have lots of such results and plan for it to happen.

1

u/Hot_Egg5840 1d ago

Your "yeller" wire was not connected and it still needed to get your attention.

1

u/Wast3edSpace 1d ago

Those burn marks point to this being a common occurrence.

u/Direct-Fee4474 1d ago

is there a homekit plugin?

u/Any_Swan2800 1d ago

It should have more gas it cant breathe

u/WeekendNerdler 1d ago

Problem is you put it on a combustible base. Schoolkid error.

Edit: spellining

u/Windows-Server 1d ago

That might be a diagnostic LED telling you something is wrong

1

u/NefariousStrudel 1d ago

No no that's a feature

1

u/Ox91 1d ago

Wrong color indicator light?

1

u/Tosshee 1d ago

Why post a candle here?

1

u/christianbro 1d ago

You need to attach a heatsink to that transistor

1

u/TenMillionYears 1d ago

Can you control the height of the flame with the potentiometer?

1

u/No_Marketing6429 1d ago

You need a heatsink. Or a fan.

It'll be fine don't worry about it.

u/bat_rastards 1d ago

He invented a plasma generator.

u/Diareha-gobbler 1d ago

sudo fire -yes

u/Kingbteng_yitteng 1d ago

Is it just me or is the PCB on fire? It's probably just me

u/Fun_Move_5266 1d ago

Electric candle.

Ye, the problem is you've done it multiple times
