Understand, Build and Invent Circuits!

Welcome to Circuit Stories on the Whiteboard!

As a tradition, I start new web initiative in the beginning of every year. So far, I have implemented my ideas mainly as interactive multimedia movies relying on both my imagination and the power of the Flash interactivity.

In these exciting stories about circuit phenomena, you have already seen a lot of step-controlled animations, hidden explanation buttons, sounds and colors associated to the circuit operation. Innovative interactive tools (potential bars and diagrams, current loops, superimposed I-V curves etc.) were visualizing and sounding the invisible electrical attributes of the circuits in a way that you have never seen before.

Only, I have gradually realized that I spend a lot of time creating all these multimedia stories... I am afraid that I will not manage to implement all the ideas, which inhabit my mind.

That is why, I have decided to begin extracting the ideas from my head and  visualize them on a classic whiteboard. Then I will snap them and place on the web. No Flash, no animations, no software tricks; only handmade pictures made by using colored whiteboard markers.

In this column, I will tell a lot of exciting circuit stories to you: creatively thinking students, teachers, hobbyists, inventors... Here, you will get unusual and original circuit explanations that you have never got before! I have extracted these ideas from many years of thinking; they are my great circuit penetrations, my truth about circuits.

As you can see below, I will show three viewpoints at the circuits on the whiteboard: how to understand circuits (intended mainly to students and hobbyists), how to build circuits (to teachers) and how to invent circuits (to inventors). You are free to choose the favorite presentation. Are you ready? Well, let's begin!
