It can record the moment when you realize that you are sandwiched between a weenie stealth bleeder and a wall deck, and are going to spend the rest of the game in a state of hand jam. It also pegs high for the moment you realize that Ben Peal is your predator.Eric Schultheishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00405594829946436871noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1655149346728485675.post-91942959424198849792008-10-17T14:55:00.000+02:002008-10-17T14:55:00.000+02:00It seems to be a device that measures strain on an...It seems to be a device that measures strain on an object by measuring the change of electrical conductance of an attached metallic foil. Inside the box is a wheatstone bridge, which contains 3 resistors of known resistance ( one tunable), the fourth resistor is the one that is measured. The goal is to tune the resistor to such a resistance, that the voltage at the midpoint of the 2 legs reaches Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1655149346728485675.post-28397544866094055092008-10-17T13:50:00.000+02:002008-10-17T13:50:00.000+02:00It's a strain gauge substitution bridge.

Deformation causes the electrical resistance of the foil to change, which can be measured with a Wheatstone bridge. Since obviously these foils cannot be standardized, the substitution bridge is used to set the 0 and Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
