spirals in electronics? Maybe even with different materials, or semiconductor styles, in different parts, and other compound shapes, and materials for electronic components?
Example: On the surface of circuit board, etch a twin spiral, with two conductors running parallel to each other as they spiral toward the center, with a solder hole at its' end, or at a location in it, so they could be connected to make parallel induction coils, with or without an inner end connection and with or without a center tap, at the same time (with who knows, what types, or how many possible uses), or left separate to make a capacitor, or used as two parallel inductors, which would probably work and behave like a tank circuit, and could be adjusted by how the lines are spaced, and by how many time each is wound, or maybe even a type of antenna, or set of antennas.
Or make a coiled wire, and then, coil the coiled wire, or wind the coiled, coiled wire again, around a core, or center tap, another wire, or any other arrangement(s) - basically letting the mind keep wondering, and keep testing and calculating.....
Want more?
Have they ever tried standard material and/or other material, induction cores, made with open ends, closed at one, or at both, tapped in different ways, spiraled in different shapes (circular, triangular, etc...), or coated with molded plastic, at different thicknesses, etc, etc....?
Since there will always be new things, these shape ponderings might lead to some wiled stuff!!!
To me, learning from a book is basically memorizing what is already known, but real learning happens when your imagination kicks-in!
Thanks for thinking/pondering with me, and I hope it gets and keeps you wondering too!!!
