The one on the left is a transistor. The one on the right is a pair of opamps in a non oscillating arrangement. Been too long for me to do the math.

I-Jo Posted November 26, 2013 Report Share Posted November 26, 2013 that;s electrical- definitely NOT my forte. But I'm sure it's true- it has gainz and curls in it- what more could you possibly want. Link to comment

wildross Posted November 26, 2013 Report Share Posted November 26, 2013 Haha, as an EE it's true. Its actually really clever. (for everyone without an EE background)A transistor's output (the top line) varies as the resistance (the squiggly line at the bottom) is changed. It pulls power from the line on the left. More resistance, more power output, more gainz. Cool The opamp circuit is an amplifier or booster. The input comes in on the left and how much amplification (or gain) you get is controlled by the various resistances (R2, R3, R4). It takes 2 opamps to keep them from oscillating (the feedback sound you get when a mike is too close to a speaker). Hence the knobs/sliders on amplifiers, or really any audio device are modifying the resistance to change the gain (amplication/loudness). I'm using audio since everyone can get that. It also works with non-audio electrical signals as well. Pretty cool. 1 Warriors don't count reps and sets. They count tons.

I-Jo Posted November 27, 2013 Report Share Posted November 27, 2013 my immediate mental response "bitch you can't be bothered to come to the gym more than 1 or 2 times a week and then be convinced to give up your latte... trust me- you don't have the will power to put forth the effort and dedication it takes to get 'bulky'" I just smile and nod mmhmmm 'do you think I look exceptionally bulky??? and then say it's physically impossible" and then move on.

Kuiken Posted November 30, 2013 Report Share Posted November 30, 2013 There's 2 curl bros (they were actually working legs, so maybe not true curl bros, but you get the picture) were at the calf raise machine behind me and I was resting between sets on the bench press. I hadn't really paid much attention to their conversation up until one of them, in a ridiculous Jamaican accent, says to the other "sing Aerial, sing!" and they proceeded to sing a portion of "Under da Sea". I kid you not. Thank God I wasn't benching as I would have dropped the bar on myself so hard and died laughing. Not sure if this is a new kind of encouragement, but it's better than the usual name calling and general shouting/grunts. Maybe next time I see them I should start requesting Disney songs? 2 [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]Gallifreyan Jackal RangerSTR: 4 | DEX: 1 | STA: 3 | CON: 3 | WIS: 3 | CHA: 3 IntroductionCURRENT CHALLENGE!(seriously updated, for reals guys) Link to comment
Ensi Posted November 30, 2013 Report Share Posted November 30, 2013 Gosh, Kuiken! :DD Could we have a Disney film with super bulky bodybuilders or something? Usually what I hear at the gym are new starters who ask me how to train. I can't really give them a full, balanced instruction right there and then, so they usually end up loitering around me while I do my thing. My absolute favourite person was a girl I met this autumn. Girl: What can you do here?Me: Well, that's a lot to explain. Maybe you could come here next Tuesday? There's an instruction hour for everyone interested. It's for free.Girl: Yeah, but... isn't that for newbies?Me: Um, yeah. I think you should definitely go there.Girl: Well, I don't think I have the time for that. So... Yeah.Me: *inner screaming* 1 -:*~ Journal ~*:- Link to comment
