Overview

Spintronic diodes allow the current to flow in only one direction. Each diode only turns clockwise, but it can be used to allow counterclockwise current by placing it on the outside of a chain loop.

Detailed description

The ratchet mechanism on top allows only clockwise movement and requires a forward voltage of approximately 0.7 V. The reverse breakdown voltage is well above the rated maximum voltage of the chain.

Note that only one spintronic diode is required to build a half-wave rectifier and only two are necessary to build a full-wave rectifier.

without knowledge confusing after that great

bought it to build an inverter and I recommend getting further into the book to understand the rotation which makes it easier to use lol

I love Spintronics

My Daughter and I love working through the books, and building our own creations. This is a really thought out kit, and the mechanical correlations are perfect. I discovered this by creating my own Full-Wave Rectifier. After I modified a few pieces, I made a great rectifier, however, I had to create it to know, that the stock spintronics rectifier is actually a better analog to electrical circuits!

This is a great kit, and gives me great times with my daughter.
