Resistor

[flashawd]

This was just a quickie project for a client that took about 2 hours. Not the most exciting thing, but I thought I would post any way. I just created one action of the ball going through the tube and repeated it 12 times. Anyway, again kind of boring, but he needed it for a presentation.

 

Resistor w/ Electrons flowing through it - Animation

 

Thanks,

That is very well done. Visual illustrations of concepts may not be entertaining but they are invaluable educational tools.

very nice , not boring to me at all. great job!

Hmm, that's exactly the kind of thing I'm doing, you haven't been stalking me, have you?

 

Is this client doing educational stuff? Maybe we should work together.

[flashawd]

Thanks guys - very true it worked perfect for it's purpose. No worries phatso... it's been awhile since I stalked someone.

Interesting the you animated the resistor symbol instead of a resistor. A critique I have is that the animation does not show the true nature of a resistor though. One way to show that would be to have electron enter the resistor and gradually slow speed as they pass through the resistor to exit with a much reduced speed.

Hi Yves - I actually do not know a thing about any of that. He had a sketch and told me that's what he wanted... have learned not to question the client.

have learned not to question the client.

 

I understand very well.

Well, also, you'd have to show voltage drop, the "electrons" right next to each other, etc. It really just depends on what is actually being taught. If it's for an electronics class, I wouldn't want my kid in that class, but if it's for a general electricity class for children, I'm sure it's fine.

I'm pretty sure it was an illustration for a class called "electricity for toddlers 101"

Then it is SPOT ON! Good job!
