minus-squareLimonene@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·21 days agoTransformers can increase voltage while decreasing current, or increase current while decreasing voltage, but can’t increase a signal’s power.
minus-squareInverseParallax@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·edit-221 days agoI know, but this just means you start with a very high current signal. You lose a lot, but again it’s what we had before transistors. https://chatgpt.com/share/6802a819-b230-8002-b359-b206b5c52834 It’s basically blood magic. It’s signal amplification by cannibalizing other band stop signals.
