Might not be an actual working transmitter, but it does produce a few mW of RF power at 4 MHz using only two LMC555s.
Principle of Operation (see attached simplified schematic):
At lower operating voltages, the flip-flop (TR) input of the LMC555 can be used as an inverting comparator input to control the output of the device. This requires the Threshold (TH) input to be active (high). This circuit applies a DC bias at the switching threshold of TR and superimposes a small AC feedback signal to create an oscillator. An inverted version of the same signal is applied to the second LMC555 to produce two complementary open collector outputs (the device's discharge output). The output is then connected as a standard push-pull RF amplifier. The TH input is used as the enable input to key the transmitter.

Introduction: You can find a lot of relevant principles on Baidu, so I won’t go into details here.
Please see the BOM table for device selection. The piezoelectric ceramics were bought on Taobao with a center frequency of 113KHz.
Frequency adjustment is achieved by adjusting the potentiometer. Be careful not to touch the working piezoelectric ceramics with your hands.
Introduction: 555 chip makes dimming and speed control, classic PWM. I originally wanted to use a ready-made one, but I made one that my brothers made public, but it didn’t work, so I had to draw it myself.
Introduction: Arc extinguisher for Tesla coil
Introduction: It is a power bank plug-in designed to prevent the power bank from automatically cutting off power when supplying power at low current (mostly <50mA). In this way, the power bank can be completely drained. . .
Introduction: 555 controls the CH443K analog switch, used for signal switching of guitar effect pedals
