I got this as a means to held build a better intuition for how electronics works.
It’s one thing to read a theory, or watch an animation. But to be able to play with such a high fidelity analog is by far the best.
It’s like going from print debugging (measuring values in a circuit for example) to a full on debugger where you can stop the world, adjust something and see how _everything_ is affected.
- vbezhenar 4y agoFor me the best intuition for electricity is pipes with gas. Weight of gas is charge. Pressure is voltage. Weight of transferred gas per second is current. Pump is power source.

- ndsipa_pomu 4y agoWhat would a 'gas circuitry' equivalence of an inductor be? (I'd guess that a capacitor could be made from a rubber sheet blocking the pipe)
