Want to delay power in a series, how can I do that?

AI Thread Summary
To achieve a delay in powering a series of wires, an analog delay line circuit can be utilized. This circuit allows for the sequential activation of each wire with a specified time delay (Δt) between them. Users can find various datasheets and schematics for implementing such delay lines. The solution should be compatible with soldering between wire sections for a seamless integration. Implementing this method will enable the desired staggered power delivery effectively.

I have a driver that sends power to a wire when it hears a sound. What I would like to do is cut the wire into sections and put something inline that would delay the power getting sent by a fraction of a second. So, wire 1 is powered, Δt, wire 2 is powered, Δt, wire 3 is powered, etc. Is there an analog way to do this? Ideally it would be something I could solder in between each section.

It sounds like you want to use an analog delay line circuit:

There are some datasheets for such parts/circuits.
 
Very basic question. Consider a 3-terminal device with terminals say A,B,C. Kirchhoff Current Law (KCL) and Kirchhoff Voltage Law (KVL) establish two relationships between the 3 currents entering the terminals and the 3 terminal's voltage pairs respectively. So we have 2 equations in 6 unknowns. To proceed further we need two more (independent) equations in order to solve the circuit the 3-terminal device is connected to (basically one treats such a device as an unbalanced two-port...
suppose you have two capacitors with a 0.1 Farad value and 12 VDC rating. label these as A and B. label the terminals of each as 1 and 2. you also have a voltmeter with a 40 volt linear range for DC. you also have a 9 volt DC power supply fed by mains. you charge each capacitor to 9 volts with terminal 1 being - (negative) and terminal 2 being + (positive). you connect the voltmeter to terminal A2 and to terminal B1. does it read any voltage? can - of one capacitor discharge + of the...
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...
