[wip][lectronics] Is it a thing?
Have a plane with a bunch of conductive squares ("pixels" of solder). Have a second identical plane and have each square wired together between the two.
That is: square [0,0] has a wire to [0,0] on the other plane, same with all [n,m]. They are just wired together.
And maybe there's a gizmo in the middle that can push charges toward either of the two planes along any of the connections.
So if we have plane A
and B
and we use A[n, m]
to indicate a square (you get it!) then we might say:
Push electrons toward
A[69,420]
and away fromB[69,420]
.
That's physically possible, isn't it?
If you did this and say just observed A
, if the pixels were small enough, you could "simulate" current flowing any way/how. Circuits, all that stuff. Just like you simulate the movement of a ball on a monitor.
...simulating
Could you induce magnetic fields? What other crazy crazemo might get up to?
