Re: Bringing up a 555
Hi Andy, I will try to help you with some of your questions: be unexpected effects (underload)? You will have an unexpected effect - it won't work. The AC for the power supply, as well as its filament

Chopper wanted (the electromechanical kind)
Hi all, There used to be such a thing as an electromechanical chopper (AKA vibrator), kind of like a relay tuned to operate at many 100's of Hz, or faster. Airpax was a popular manufacturer. Tek used

Invitation for another exchange of questionably useful information.
The interesting thread about phase shift reminds me of a rule of thumb I have been using for years. 'ELI the ICE man'. Voltage (E) is before Current (I) in an inductor (L). Current is before Voltage

Bringing up a 555

Correct Re: SV: SV: Invitation for another exchange of questionably useful information.
I'm lost with you going down too deep into details, right hand and left hand rule.... Back from school times I just simple memorized (sometimes it's helping to memorize!) - phase shift between AC

Re: Invitation for another exchange of questionably useful information.
- Nah, it was just a model to understand the voltage phase relations. I see the old rule of thumb, where you point the current direction in a conductor, with your right hand thumb, and then the

Re: Invitation for another exchange of questionably useful information.
Arthur is right - +J / -J (math way, vector diagram) is imaginary part what is matter. But there is more - it is who is preceding - is current in front of voltage by 90 deg (i.e. capacitor), or
