Avalanche Analogy
To understand the relationship between voltage, current, and resistance, imagine an avalanche of snow on a mountain. The height of the mountain is analogous to the voltage; the higher the mountain, the more potential energy the falling material has. The amount of snow and rocks in the avalanche is analogous to the current. And the steepness of the mountain is analogous to the resistance: the steeper the mountain, the less it will resist the flow of the snow and rocks. We’ll define this a bit more formally below. — ITP Physical Computing — Electricity: The Basics
Intro to Schematics
Schematic diagrams are diagrams of circuits that represent the electrical relationships between the components in the circuit. A schematic doesn’t always show the spatial arrangement of the components; it’s arranged so that you can best understand the flow of the electricity.

- Dream Recorder – Worn while sleeping, the eyemask records your dreams. Once recorded you can access the dreams through the lantern, which projects/illuminates outward into the room. The product comes with 3dspace and time navigation controllers to help move through the projected dream.
