Hello. I am looking to learn about averaging out a particle gas or any other type of organization of particles within a system or volume that can be approximated onto a grid or mesh where the particles are at a constant distance from each other: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Particle_mesh. I...

Man, I didn't think I would keep the conversation for this long! I must be a very interesting person...

@DaveE Thank you very much for your insight, I understand the topic better now. I will keep all that in mind.

Thank you @DaveE and @berkeman for your inputs. I do, however, need to have a more objective viewpoint on this subject. Could you please take a look at these answers to my question from EE stack exchange to see if they make sense...

What I already know In general, power gain is desirable for an oscillator in order to make up for the losses and then feedback that gain (amplified signal) into the oscillator for it to keep oscillating. Voltage gain is not generally used for oscillators. What I want to know Since power gain is...

Yes, we are done here. I have learned what I needed to learn and know about. Thanks.

I was still working on the feedback but I found it difficult. I stopped working on my circuit because I wanted to ask if this kind of circuit was even possible so I do not waste time building something that is impossible. It is why I asked here.

Thank you for your reply and for letting me know this. I think I understand what you are saying. I will look into other options that will provide AC gain, such as transistors.

What I meant by passive was that all the components in the circuit would be passive components (R and C) but no active components like a BJT. So, yes, I guess from a bird's eye view, this circuit would be an active one. I already have built the circuit that I showed everyone from EE...

I do not understand why you think there is no gain in the circuit. I clearly stated that I would provide the gain via external voltage sources (i.e. boost converters or something like that) attached to the circuit from the outside like this (for argument's sake): Where the +20V source (just as...

The circuit is not self-sustaining and the gain will be provided with voltage sources attached to the circuit from the outside. I already provided a quick diagram above. I would laugh at your sarcastic humor, but, sadly, there is no joke here.

This circuit by T. Stewart from EE stack exchange made an oscillator with just DC inputs. I am just trying to make pretty much the same circuit, but without the BJT (another RC network). So I know that it can be done with DC inputs.

I intend to have a DC power source that will become an AC signal via the RC networks. Then, I will feedback that AC signal back into the RC network to continue the waveform.

From what I was thinking, it should come from the RC network, no?

I meant something like this: Where the +20V source (just as an example) would be the buffer (i.e. boost converter or something) and it would provide all the gain you need. And you would have this voltage source attached to wherever you need gain in the circuit. This voltage source would be...
