does this flow effect work with the water analogy of electricity?
- poleguy 5y agoI had to google it. It seems like it's at least plausible that it might: https://pubs.acs.org/doi/pdf/10.1021/nl070935e https://pubs.acs.org/doi/pdf/10.1021/nl070935e
- jojobas 5y agoThis relies on inertia so probably not.
- jcims 5y agoInductance is similar to inertia in the water model of electricity.
- jojobas 5y agoYes, but it's not directional. You don't get to make a T-joint of three coils and have the current follow the top bar as it's a straight line.
- CyberDildonics 5y agoDiodes don't work based on inductance.
- jcims 5y agoDiodes would be something along the lines of a check valve.
- jcims 5y agoJust realized if it did this would make a very simple rectifier. I guess you could test it by putting ends of a wire with a galvanometer on it to different parts of an antenna and see if you get a current.
- andrewcchen 5y agoThe circulator[1] is an analogous component in rf, it send the incident power from any port down to the next port, so you can take one port to be the bidirectional connection, and it splits the signal into transmit and receive connections.
