minus-square@Limonene@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglish1•26 days agoTransformers can increase voltage while decreasing current, or increase current while decreasing voltage, but can’t increase a signal’s power.
minus-square@InverseParallax@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglish1•edit-226 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.
