"Mechanix Electrix" mechanical electric simulati
"Mechanix Electrix" is a system made by me to simulate electric circuits using mechanical power.
This vehicle contains 11 unique components plus an example circuit to show how it works.
The components are as follows:
Battery, a few regular batteries and a small motor, toggled with key and used for testing circuits.
Light, array of three lights that turns on when rps goes above theshold.
Spark gap, switch that closes shortly when rps goes above set threshold, meant to simulate electric spark.
Switch, switch that disconnects two rps lines, toggled by key.
Inductor, resists rps changing, can be used to store energy.
Resistor, resists rps going up, helps rps go down.
Diode, allows rps to go through one way, stops rps going other way, has large energy loss, use sparingly.
Circuit breaker, switch that opens when rps goes above theshold, can only be closed by switch.
Capacitor, charges at one end with rps input, releases at other end when resistance is detected.
Variable resistor, same as resistor but resistance is controlled by hand operated lever.
Triode, works like diode but charge can be controlled by rps input at middle leg, has large energy loss, use sparingly.
NC relay, switch controlled by rps at middle leg, opens when rps is above threshold, closes when under.
NO relay, switch controlled by rps at middle leg, closes when rps is above threshold, opens when under.
There are also "heavy duty" versions of 4 components.
The HD components and their advantages are listed below:
Triode and diode, more responsive than regular versions with *less energy losses
Capacitor, holds more charge, charges faster and discharges faster than regular capacitor.
Battery, has longer battery life than regular battery, is also painted yellow.
There is also a portable multimeter that can measure amerage, resistance and voltage, remember to add torque connectors to your circuit to be able to connect the multimeter.
If you have any critiques or suggestions feel free to leave them in the comments.
Also make sure to leave builds using it in the disscussion below.
