Full bridge rectifier¿
Thick eye brows intensifies!
First thing that went through my mind lol
Yes, with Mehdi’s enthusiastic pronounciation, +1
the diagram is an AC to DC converter.
RF engineer here, living the life of magic in the air and space!
Yeah but it’s too realistic, I want something convenient! Let me read one book and gain the power to create floating ice! Not read like 5 giant books and stufy for years so that I can create a microwave 😔
No shade to microwaves, one of my favorite magic items
Hello every wizard protagonist in every fantasy YA novel ever.
That diagram is just heat with extra steps.
I mean, yea. The people designing the AC to DC power supplies often don’t care what you use them for, why would they bother putting schematics for a real load on their diagram?
That’s what someone who doesn’t understand magic would say.
Follow the spell incorrectly and that is indeed all you would get.
That’s what I was thinking. Depending on the supply that’ll start a fire.
It’s a basic AC rectifier, the resistor represents an arbitrary DC load. You use similar circuits all the time, though generally with additional failsafes and some mechanism of smoothing out the rectified current.
That’s not a resistor it’s actually a BIG LOAD. The diagram would better show it as a reactive load (usually just a rectangle) since most real loads are reactive. Get it?
Paraphrasing Arthur C. Clarke: Any technology is indistinguishable from magic, to the sufficiently ignorant.
Clarke’s Maxim: Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.
Corollary / Contrapositive: Any technology distinguishable from magic is insufficiently advanced.
My version seems like another good corollary.
looks at schematic
FULL BRIDGE RECTIFIAH!!
eyebrow dance
I heard the “OUTCH!” In this image.
it gender transitions the AC to DC
And generates heat!
And in this specific application (simple resistor as a load) you could even save all the diodes and generate even more heat in the resistor alone instead of also „heating“ the diodes. *
This my most favorite circuit. It’s a very simple and elegant solution doing its job in silence without getting the kudos it deserves.
- I know RL is just a simple generalization for a load.
Dirty deeds done dirt cheap
so, from bi to either gay or straight, unless it passes an inverter, then becomes bi again
Squint at this (from this wiki page https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_demons_in_the_Ars_Goetia) and these might be either ancient sigils or electronic symbols*.
EDIT: Fixed a typo
This one’s a bit interestingly shaped…
Hang on. I’ve seen that tattoo!
If that is a dick, it looks like it has some very serious STDs.
Nah, it’s just new and improved: with Wings! (to stay in the right place all night long)
It’s a house fly!
You win this one. ❤️
Got a lot going on there mister
Okay, this is dying for me to learn Godot and make a game
Doooo it!
We always joked it was black magic but its literally on the name.
An actual textbook cover. I mean… An ancient grimoire of the dark arts
Edit: I almost forgot about the sequel
The bible of my people
Omg I cant believe this is real.
I always thought that would be a good style for a dart board. Score would be -dB(return loss)
Genius concept. just need a catchy name.
Said it before and I’ll say it again: just because you understand the magic doesn’t make it any less magical. A wizard may know the ins and outs of their spells, but they’re still spells. Our entire universal is fucking magical, we just happen to have a decent understanding of why (some) of it functions the way it does. Jiggle a quark here and another may jiggle the same way somewhere in the vicinity of Betelgeuse, that’s fucking wild and magical and incredible, and just because we have some level of understanding behind the mechanics doesn’t make it not magic. It just makes it a hard magic system.
Like the way you think Dharms
I’m not sure if “Dharms” was a typo or a nickname, but that’s the first time I’ve gotten that, and I genuinely like it. Like, what a great nickname. Love it.
Mein specialty 🙇♂️ (or so I’d like to think)
Thank you kindly
Gotta love the progression in this.
Um akshually, that’s a rectification circle.
That summoning circle is gonna need some filtering… Jus sayin…
While it helps the ritual it isn’t strictly required, so it can be easier for an apprentice to achieve.
Lightning would be wild magic
Makes sense. Could be harnessed to do something probably but incredibly dangerous to do so.
And some people are wild mages
Just ask Doc Brown.
