Hey Art,

Good to see you have your own show!!!

Remember me?

Transistors are a reverse engineered alien technology.

If one was to explain how a transistor worked and a 6-year-old was their target audience; How would it be accomplished?

The TOWER of POWER

Stardust motel, Naperville, Il,,,Bell Labs... circa 1947

Well if aliens were using transistors back in the 50's it's little wonder they don't make themselves known to us....

you need to study history. A step by step logical history from the first point contact detector.

Army training manuals break it down better than college texts
Different audience.

:laffinstoner:

Albert Einstien said that if you can not explain it to a 6 year old, then you do not understand the subject matter or insight.

6 year old's are not allowed in this chat room, and so I do not have to worry about it.


How's that for evading the question?


On the other hand if you are willing to be a six year old,
then I will try to explain it to you.

Yes, I do.

Wow now I have to choose between NPN and PNP.

Art can you handle an hour on the Tower of Power?......hehehehe!

Heh, transistors are cool.

He apparently says the contrary as this quote seems to be attributed to him: "If I could explain it to the average person, it wouldn't have been worth the Nobel Prize."

Which kind moves the juice better?

NPN are usually less expensive.

Hole flow, Pinch-off, Mimic,......

i got thousands and thousands of transistors,npn,pnp ,power,transmitting etc...resisors too

Art can handle this if the show is still live. But if it is not I will explain reverse diodes to you'all
