Help! From anyone interested in English, Physics, Math, or Science.

I have written a rather massive article in the hopes of teaching people with mid-level knowledge in electronics about the idea of Duals in mathematics, how that applies to circuits and the various types of circuit duals that exist

I also include a great deal of detail in the end about one very obscure and rarely studied circuit dual called the magnetic circuit dual, it is a circuit, like a magnetic circuit, but instead of current being the flow of electrons, it is the flow of a magnetic field through wires made of iron instead of copper.

I even touch on briefly how one can extract energy from permanent magnets and other details most people arent very familiar with.

The problem is the article is massive and I really could use some eyes on it. Whether its just to try to help me catch english mistakes, or if your not that experienced perhaps tell me the parts that are confusing, as I would like this to be accessible to people who may not be scientists and only know entry level electronics or science. any feedback from anyone at any level would be highly appreciated.

Keep in mind I couldn't find many good sources laying out the equations for magnetic circuits very clearly so I had to derive a lot of the equations myself, though the concept is well established as fact and many peer-reviewed papers have been written on it. But bear in mind there may be minor errors in my math as well, so that too needs some criticism, though the math should be fairly close to correct.

Anyway any input from anyone would be much appreciated.

The draft of the article can be found on the beta site for my blog, here is a direct link:

Similarly if you find any mistakes you can message me here, or you can leave a merge request on the repo for the article, here is the direct link to the markdown file in the source for my blog:

git.qoto.org/freemo/freemo-sit

It is much prefered that if you have specific edits like english or math you do it as a pull request as it can be a huge pain for me to hunt down the specific part of the text you are referring to if you point out mistakes as replies here. However if your unwilling to do a merge request please still ping me here as I'd rather know than to just let it go unnoticed.

Anyone who helps I will add a thank you with your name and a link to your own site at the bottom of the article if you wish, this might help draw some traffic to your own site.

I have been writing a blog article that is getting so big its a small text book at this point. Easily the biggest and more detailed blog article on a subject I have ever wrote.

The topic is Duals of Electrical circuits.

It takes me half the paper to even get to electronics, I start by trying to describe what a dual is in general terms, give simple mathematical examples, then go onto duals of systems of equations where I finally tie it into electrical circuits.

At that point I dive into a series of examples of different types of duals for electrical circuits, and then finally end with describing a magnetic circuit as a dual for an electric circuit, where the power sources become magnets, the copper wires are replaced with iron ones, electrical current is replaced with magnetic current (which is a propagating magnetic field), and then I explain each magnetic dual for each discrete component like capacitors, inductors, resistors, and transformers. Needless to say this thing gets really deep really fast.

If your interested in seeing the final result keep an eye out on my blog, should be released any day now.

As an Algorithmic Day Trader I feel kinda like I am playing one of those idle games where all you have to do to level up is sign on one a day and hit a few buttons.

@freemo i like that it is a bytecode to opencl compiler. i think many interesting things can be done by repurposing/transforming existing bytecodes. like the many languages which use the jvm.

my project back then included parsing a (simple) input language, generating cuda kernels for it. i've never really got it to work properly though.
i sometimes think about building something like it as side project, but now i haven't got that much spare time anymore. but it's always nagging me that it never got really finished :D

Yay, this week I spoke to official devs on the Ubuntu and Debian project and it seems my Aparapi Library will be in both mainline Debian and Ubuntu package managers soon!

I feel good in this instance. Optimistic. This is a good place.

Wow Trevor Milton, CEO of Nikola, deleted his twitter account due all the allegations against him.. wow.

Seems he resigned too.. oh shit its going down... My gut tells me this may be a good time to invest in nikola as someone who has read the report and heard all sides. This seems to be more a public opinion crash rather than being based on anything solid.

I used to really like Ben, but man at some point he drank that fucking kool aid

If you say "arse" instead of "ass" we can not be friends, just saying.

@khird did an excellent job on this.

Hello everydual, I'm currently a 4th year student. My interests are mathematical/computational neuroscience and philosophy (thinking of pursuing a PhD/MSc on mathematical modelling). This instance looks fairly interesting. I look forward to meeting cool smart people. Other notable topics of interest: GNU/Linux (Ubuntu/Kali/Mint), FOSS/H, Python, Rust, LatAm history/politics.

Random fact: this is my favorite picture

As you all know the earth is a giant magnet. As a giant magnet antarctica would be the north or south pole of that magnet?
