Well, you could always throw your code oscillator at somebodys face. Or, maybe you could eat it. Or name a yoyo after it. Or jump on it. The uses are limitless ---

In fact, you might be surprised to know that computers, radios, metal detectors, and stun guns all use oscillators. Read on to learn how an oscillator works! ---
