- bell-cot 4y agoYes, water can solve a Tesla valve: > Steady flow experiments, including with the original design, however, show smaller ratios of the two resistances* in the range of 2 to 4.[6] It has also been shown that the device works better with pulsatile flows.[6] *Ratio of resistance to water flowing "forward" vs. "backward" through the Tesla valve. Though if you stretch things far enough - say, a thick layer of "waterproof" clay - your statement is correct for most purposes.
- hinkley 4y agoRectifying diodes also have limitations for how much reverse voltage they can block. When I fiddled with circuitry I was surprised how low that could be for cheap rectifiers. It sank some of my naive designs. Real circuits can have transistors or resettable fuses to handle out-of-spec situations and shut down.
