    Understanding Square Wave Amplitude in Fourier Transforms

    If you look at a square wave with amplitude of +/- A on a graph, you will see that it covers a range of 2A (A- -A=2A). This wave has a amplitude that fluctuates between these two values. However, an alternate wave with amplitude 2A has the same range (2A), yet it fluctuates between 0 and 2A...

    Highway Generator Idea: Pros/Cons & Practicality

    Oh man, this is one of the stranger ones I have heard. One could absolutely generate electricity in this manner, but the practicality depends heavily on the motivation. If you are trying to generate power for the community, many problems arise. This system is reliant on petrochemicals, and as...

    Why Do We Need Resistors in Every Electronic Circuit?

    JSZ, Please check out an article (WikiPedia) on Ohm's Law. This is probably the very best place to start learning about electronic circuits. There is a well-defined relation between a circuit's voltage, current and resistance. All of these terms have their own definitions that will make sense...

    Are 4uF Capacitors a Viable Option for MMC in Tesla Coils?

    These caps, the 4uF ones, I have already. I have like 1000 of them, and I'd like to use them for something. They make terrible jewelry, and they are Japanese- from the 1980's, and I want to use them for something... for my Karma. Oh, I will weep to all those that have passed and lie in...

    Are 4uF Capacitors a Viable Option for MMC in Tesla Coils?

    MMC for Tesla coil, inquery... Hello all, Every project of mine starts like this... I first need to consider my budget. So, I am wanting to build a Tesla coil. I can get everything needed for this, but I have concerns about the primary capacitor. As I have looked all about the internet...
