What is a diode?

I love your water analogies, it’s so much easier to understand the dynamics of water rather than electrons.

[@alexroberts3944]

Whats more interesting is the materials used and how they are 'sandwiched' together to acheive the 'one-way valve'.

[@Larstig81]

This is indeed more interesting.

[@phillyphakename1255]

And the fact that if you put two valves back to back blocking each direction, you suddenly get a transistor, which allows water to flow completely unrestricted. That's some black magic.

[@justinsixx90]

So the current would come through the middle at the butt joint and flow out the open ends?

[@Hi-vd8lr]

​@@phillyphakename1255 not really You put pressure in the middle and it allows the valves to open Think of the valves having an extra mechanism which opens when pressure hits it

[@alliwishis_2]

[@hugegamer5988]

The swing gate has a stiff spring holding it closed, just a little pressure can’t overcome it and flow but increase the pressure and it can overcome the spring though there is a drop in pressure. That is the forward voltage drop of the diode.

[@JoeBob79569]

I often wonder if there are other hypothetical electrical components that would be useful but that nobody has thought of, or that we just don't know how to make.. Or do we know for certain that all the simple components that we _could_ make we have already made?

[@olawale_o.t.d]

Of course there'll be electrical components that we haven't yet discovered their usefulness in electronic circuits... There's a plethora of combinations of elements that haven't been tried in circuits and some with potential are not yet mass produced so the cost still outweighs the benefits...

[@AbhinavChauhan-nc8hj]

One is Memristor,.....and there can be many. While studying especially 'Theory of Electrical Elements and Components' in Electrical Engg. you will come to know about many mathematically possible and physically realized systems based on that.

Unless it is a Zener Diode.Zener diodes are primarily used for voltage regulation, voltage clamping, and protection against voltage spikes or transients in circuits. They maintain a stable voltage across their terminals, even when the current varies.

very recently a HUUGE power surge happened to the house. It keeps happening. The 52" TV died. Just about to purchase new replacement guts for it But I purchasd an inexpensive UPS (uninteruptible power supply. basically a power strip with a battery). Everything on the 52" TV came back to life! The rectifier system made everything work! Diodes are amazing

[@Avalonanon]

As a plumber the water analogy made this very easy to understand lol

[@jensschroder8214]

If a reverse voltage is applied to the diode, it blocks. This changes the capacity at the blocked area (capacitance diode). But if the maximum voltage is exceeded, then the diode also conducts reverse flow. (Zener diode). This can then destroy the diode.

[@Anti-LEDcorp]

How to get a pet electron 1- Make a circuit with two diodes First diode needs to show the anode Last diode needs to show tha catode(the way that electrons cant go) to catch them 2- Cut the circuitry but do not leave the diodes 3- Add a ligament to the circuitry end after cutting the last diode You got it!

Interesting analogy to Water. What if we were to use Rectifier Water Valves to cause Ocean waves or tides to force woter flow into a pipe in one direction? Perhaps in Holland to drive the pumps that keep holland dry. Of course it could be used anywhere next to the oceans as an energy source. Perhaps even driving Electric Generators from this Rectifieed water flow. You might even use it on a ship at sea or yacht to generate spare electricity. Yet another way to capture otherwise wasted Energy.

Not mentioned, the diode has a 700 millivolt drop in the forward position. One diode will not reduce voltage enough to consider it too much. But, if you have a circuit with many diodes, the 700 millivolt drop per diode will be significant, such as in a stick diode.

That loop was really smooth

[@mr.challenge8157]

when you realize that 2 diodes can make a transistor

[@foogod4237]

Well, yes and no.. A transistor isn't really a "diode plus diode" as much as it's a "diodediode" (or really more of a "diodeedoid", I guess?). It only works if all of the component pieces are right next to each other in a single piece of silicon (and are the right sizes and have specific contact areas, etc), so you can't just take two diodes like these and wire them together and get a transistor (unfortunately).

[@Ali_Massoud]

that is a little misleading but, in terms of water pipes you can still think of transistor as a manual valve instead of a swing valve by placing two valves (like the one in the short) opposite to each other but they would have to be operated manually by pulling the gates with some sort of handle or rope. but just putting two of these at a distance with out any type of control over their gates, wouldn't really work or pass any water.

[@Hi-vd8lr]

​@@Ali_Massoud except that the rope should be replaced with a water mechanism because transistor require electricity in middle pin And weird stuff can happen if you wire it up wrong
