  • Essentially they charge up and then release a spark that ignites the gas inside the actual bulb.

    IIRC they pull power through the inductor and the electrodes in the tube, so the inductor has plenty of current running through it and the electrodes are hot, then suddenly break that circuit. The inductor makes the voltage across the tube spike super high and an arc forms inside the tube.

    The little cylinder is the switch and capacitor at the bottom of the image. It starts off closed, so power goes through the tube’s electrodes but not across the tube, then opens forcing power to go through the tube.

    It’s the rectangular bit that actually does the charging up.









  • People still need to know what was said. Presumably their AI clone can send them a quick summary.

    And they have to give their AI clone instructions. I guess you can just give it a few points it needs to mention and who to tell them to.

    It seems to me like you could send the instructions to the people who need to read them and skip the part where a bunch of AIs translate it into hours of video and back. Though the AI clone thing does give you a way to deal with that guy who loves the sound of his own voice.
