Circuit Logic Timer

AI Thread Summary

The discussion focuses on the construction of a bottle rocket at university, specifically utilizing logic and timer circuits for the launch mechanism. The logic circuit is responsible for processing input signals and making decisions based on predefined conditions, while the timer circuit controls the timing of the launch sequence. Together, these circuits ensure the rocket launches at the correct moment, enhancing safety and precision. The clarification that a flasher circuit is not being used simplifies the design to just the logic and timer components. Understanding the roles of these circuits is crucial for successful rocket deployment.

Long story short I am building a bottle rocket at uni.

As part of launching this rocket we are using a flasher, logic and timer circuit.

Can you please explain the basic role that each of these circuits, and an overview of the circuit as a whole.

Help is much appreciated.

EDIT we are not using a flasher circuit, just logic and timer.

Thread 'Weird near-field phenomenon I get in my EM simulation'

I recently made a basic simulation of wire antennas and I am not sure if the near field in my simulation is modeled correctly. One of the things that worry me is the fact that sometimes I see in my simulation "movements" in the near field that seems to be faster than the speed of wave propagation I defined (the speed of light in the simulation). Specifically I see "nodes" of low amplitude in the E field that are quickly "emitted" from the antenna and then slow down as they approach the far...

Thread 'EMF (Electromagnetic Field) & EHS (Electromagnetic Hyper Sensitivity)'

Hello dear reader, a brief introduction: Some 4 years ago someone started developing health related issues, apparently due to exposure to RF & ELF related frequencies and/or fields (Magnetic). This is currently becoming known as EHS. (Electromagnetic hypersensitivity is a claimed sensitivity to electromagnetic fields, to which adverse symptoms are attributed.) She experiences a deep burning sensation throughout her entire body, leaving her in pain and exhausted after a pulse has occurred...
