spent years reading/drawing schematics. simplified bridge rectifier circuit used everywhere. like your phone charger. magically keeps face glued to phone
Full bridge rectifier¿
Thick eye brows intensifies!
First thing that went through my mind lol
Yes, with Mehdi's enthusiastic pronounciation, +1

looks at schematic
FULL BRIDGE RECTIFIAH!!
eyebrow dance
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.
Lightning would be wild magic
Makes sense. Could be harnessed to do something probably but incredibly dangerous to do so.
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.
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...
We always joked it was black magic but its literally on the name.
It's chemicals that make signals jump between neurons in your head. Electricity acts entirely withing single neurons.
Also, that's a control spell, not a summoning one.
that's crazy to think about. which NT is responsible for sending a signal along my vagus nerve to my brain? what NTs regulate the functions of the sympathetic nervous system? how can transport as quickly as my body reacts? I need to know more!
how quickly do NTs even travel? it feels like electricity because it's nearly instantaneous! how do they do that so fast???
it feels like electricity because it’s nearly instantaneous!
It takes hundreds of ms for a signal to go from your brain to your foot. Electricity on wires travels several times around the world in that time.
But for most of the distance the signals do travel as electricity. (At least the ones that get to be electricity, our brain has several kinds of signals.) It's just a particularly slow form of electricity.
Paraphrasing Arthur C. Clarke: Any technology is indistinguishable from magic, to the sufficiently ignorant.
That diagram is just heat with extra steps.
You think a rectified transformer is a magic circle? Get a load of the Smith Chart
That summoning circle is gonna need some filtering... Jus sayin...
We don’t know what the fuck consciousness is.
In any case, it's powered with electricity.
Um akshually, that's a rectification circle.
