Negative Resistance

- DivingForGold 3mo agoGreat to see this discussion. My son displayed a science project on negative differential resistance 21 years ago. Had quite a few electrical engineers passing by with "the low brow" look. His device involved carbon fibers arranged in a cross shape placed inside of a cement mixture and compressed to ~8,000 psi during the cure stage (following the example of some published research).
- NooneAtAll3 3mo agowhat does low brow mean?
- signa11 3mo agoumm `surprised scrutiny and skepticism` perhaps ?
- tdeck 3mo agoThere are apparently some very simple ways to achieve negative resistance in a home lab. For example http://sparkbangbuzz.com/zinc-40-meter-xmtr/zinc-40-meter-xmtr.htm http://sparkbangbuzz.com/zinc-40-meter-xmtr/zinc-40-meter-xm...

- arjie 3mo agoI think it is very funny that the author has decided to start with a layman’s introduction to the concept of resistance after saying that you need familiarity with the behavior of operational amplifiers. Who is in that category of familiarity while still not having an intuition for resistance? Perhaps someone but how.
