How to Make a Strobe Light

In this video, I go over every detail to make your very own strobe light using a 555 timer. There are detailed step-by-step instructions, schematics, demos, and some totally accidental explosions.
Dare I say, it is the best strobe tutorial that is out there. I checked.

Some cool applications include the levitating water trick (also known as a strobe fountain) and a zoetrope. I would really like to try both of them myself someday. Look each of them up if you have the time.
