One of those sites that looks like an old friend - as if they have known it for a long time, but at the same time it still works. valvol. flyboard. ru is a place where a community of people who are interested in electronics, especially its practical part, gathers. This is not about fashion trends or the hype around new chips, this is about real circuits tested in practice, about how to make a power supply without unnecessary hassle.
The founder of the site is Valentin Volodin. He has been in the industry for many years and it shows in his style. There is nothing overly positive, no advertising clichés. Just information that is needed for those who want to understand how everything works inside. The site does not rest on beautiful pictures and glossy videos - there is a simple truth here: articles, reference books, programs, files, a forum. Yes, yes, it is the forum that is the main engine of this whole thing.
The site has sections, each of which is a whole world. There are Theoretical questions - where do those who want to know not only how it works, but also why they go? And there is Do it yourself - if you want to assemble something with your own hands, and not just follow the instructions, but really figure it out. Here you can read about repairs, alterations, what not to do (dubious projects), and even about the reliability of radio components - an important thing that many people miss.
The forum is live. The moderators are active, although there are not many of them - they called it Potty. , Evklid, valvol, Victorian, igorka, whale, Schultz, MasterCat, Tribune, Igor1, e-nik. There are not many of them, but they are in business. Discussions are ongoing, there are more than 100 thousand messages over the years of existence. Topics range from microcontrollers to alternative energy. One of the most interesting sections is Alternative Energy Sources - where people argue, experiment, try to use everything: the sun, the wind, even the muscular strength of someone.
There are also archives, file storages, calculators, programs, links to other resources. All this is collected to help a person not waste time searching. The main thing is that the site does not strive to be beautiful or fast, it tries to be useful. Even the design is simple but convenient. No unnecessary effects, only text, forum, buttons.
There are no electronics giants here, no corporations. There are ordinary people here - engineers, amateurs, students, craftsmen. Some people do something for themselves, others just participate in discussions. There are few registered users (only a little over three thousand), but there is activity. In the last five minutes there was one visitor, although at the busiest period there were almost four thousand at the same time. This suggests that the topic is alive and people are really interested in it.
The Search section is especially worth noting.There you can find a diagram, a book, a datasheet, a manufacturer - something that is so often lost throughout the Internet. There are also announcements, flames (not entirely serious, but fun) and an archive where old discussions are stored that no one reads anymore, but are still saved. It's like a museum of electronic conversations.
The main topic is power supplies. Everything related to their design, assembly, testing, repair and operational safety. Issues of theory, technology, microcontrollers and even alternative energies are also discussed.
The site was created by Valentin Volodin. He runs the forum, writes articles and maintains the resource for many years.
No registration is required to view the content, but you must register to write messages or participate in discussions. There are currently no active users, but this does not mean that the forum is dead.
In the Search section you can try to find a diagram, datasheet or book. There are also links to file storages: turbobit, mega. co. nz, fex. net and others.
No, the site does not sell goods or services. This is an information resource dedicated to electronics and power supplies. No commercial offers - just knowledge and communication.
And yes, if you have ever wondered how to assemble your first switching power supply, maybe you should come here. There is a lot to learn. Although not everything will be written perfectly - there are some mistakes, sometimes commas are missing, words are repeated, thoughts are intertwined. But this is exactly what happens in real life. Not ideal. Humanly. And perhaps that is why this site has been alive for almost twenty years. Why? Because it works. It just works. And this is the most important thing.
