Yeah, what's the point in torturing the poor old 555?  Are you up on your YouTube pop culture history?

Leave the 555 alone!!!  sob  Leave the 555 ALONE!!!!    SOB!!!  lol

When I hear "negative dominant" my brain goes to mush, no offense to anybody.

Powercat:

Star Trek TOS United forever!!!  I got half of the episodes from the aether and I am desperate for the other half.  Gimme a smoke bomb any day over a CGI exercise in particle dynamics man.


I decided to try to play the link game.... but what??  Whaaat?

Ahem...

This guy repairs old radios and is brilliant.  He throws in the occasional educational clip about electronics.  Plus there is something about his voice and slow delivery that is trance-like for me.

He is the "real thing" and if anybody is fascinated by looking at radio tech history and seeing this stuff get beautifully repaired and restored, you will really enjoy his other clips.

It's funny when you look at these old radios, they all have to have stories behind them.  Sort of like the movie "Tucker."  The 1920s and 30s must have been exciting and heady days for that small slice of technological culture - the designers and producers of commercial radios.  You have to use your imagination and visualize the stories behind the objects.  Some of them are works of art.  A whole world that has simply vanished into thin air.

Hi Cat.  The link was excellent.  Had no idea there were these tributes to cool Doc.  Learn something new every day. 

And MileHigh - I now know so much more about Ground loops than I ever want to know.  I'll give the rest of his links a miss if you don't mind.  I have way too much respect for my frustration tolerance.

MH - I'm going to take a stab at answering your question to Aaron.  I think you ask how the spike gets back to the coil - if the coil is also generating the spike? 

So.  Let me bore you.  If the current flow resulting from that spike moves anticlockwise it goes through the battery through the shunt through the body diode and back to the source.  And vice versa.  Why not?  It fits.

Hi,

Although I have no read the 185 pages in this thread, after searching the net for awhile, and unable to find any confirmation, can someone post a link to someone that has confirmed the total energy output in the form of heat is greater than the input supply?

Thanks,
Paul
