Just some words of warning. Trying to intuit resistors in digital circuits is going to make your life interesting, sometimes even...

A unicycle is an example of an inverted pendulum. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inverted_pendulum

There is more contact resistance somewhere. Depending on the breadboard construction, the contacts may be thin phosphor bronze shim...

The GT3 is a stepped belt so it should run flat on the pulley, indexed by the rounded teeth. As you increase belt tension, the rubber...

We are still trying to understand if it works, how it works, so we can use the right maths.

Probably because they must plane on the surface, rather than dig in. Traction is then from surface drag, with a drag coefficient...

I get the feeling that when travelling, your wheels as shown have top-spin, which will tend to pull the wheels downwards and stick to...

That is correct. After the zero crossing of the applied voltage waveform (magenta), the diodes continue to conduct, the inductor current...

I have seen many antennas and that is a new one for me. Please give a web link, a photo, or a reference, so we can get more...

Three different parts of the spectrum need to be considered. 1. Ultraviolet, UV. 2. Visible light colour. 3. Infrared, heat, IR. The...

The first approximation is that the diodes have zero forward voltage, that inductor current is limited by the resistance, and that the...

In theory, given the C-C distance, the zero length of the belt path can be computed. Knowing the initial belt length, Hook's law, and...

The LZY-22+ costs US$2219. That is the advanced level. We have no idea who might later find this thread with a Google search...

I notice that for small VP1 drive amplitudes, ±2 volt and below, the MOSFETs are not turning off, but are conducting large continuous...
