Mobile phone Flasher
Thanks to Scott Bell, here's the explanation :-)

The transistor is actually a diode which half waves the signal then uses the now "stored" energy of the half wave process to generate enough voltage to drive the LEDs. Pretty simple really, I make the things all the time for friends with
anything up to 4 LEDs in one unit, you can add more LEDs but the brightness
drops after you get to 5 due to the loading of the signal and also rx/tx
of the phone can drop too.

| This mobile phone flasher sticker is paper-thin, and don't need any battery !! | when a phone call is made, or answered, the flasher got turn on !! |
If anyone can explain how it works, please tell me. I don't know how it can harvest the signal, turn it into useable electricity, and then turn on the SMD leds.
Circuit, anyone ?

| Happy Face mobile phone flasher sticker :-) | 2 SMD leds on top,
1 transistor ? on the bottom |

| This little "Robot" is another type of mobile phone flasher. | The mobile phone has to sit inside the "cockpit". |
I test drive it and it works. When the phone rings :
1. it flashes 2 bright-red leds just
under the "cockpit", behind the "guns".
2. it also turns on the alarm, and
it is very annoying to have the alarm and mobile phone ring the same time.
I'll add a on/off switch when I have time to modify it. Driving me crazy.
3. it walks !! Yes, it walks slowly
but steadily forward, try to reach you or something. When this baby sounds
the alarm, flashes it lights, and walks on your kitchen floor, I wonder
what would happen to your little kitten :-)
Are they BEAMable ? I think they are. Wait till I have time to do some
surgeries :-)
