Feedback Definition and 249 Threads

The project I am working on is to design the control system for a shock dynamometer. I am using Labview and communicating to the VFD using Modbus. The shock dyno will look a little something like this; So one of the main objectives in my project is to produce a plot as seen below; The...

Hello, I am The Maker. I am here because I want professional feedback on my work. I have been building things with K'NEX and popsicle sticks since I was little and as a future engineer, I wanted real engineers to evaluate my potential. Please be honest, I am trying to improve my engineering...

What's the feedback for an op amp? And tell me the formula.

I have a confusion understanding one of the basic assumption used for operational amplifiers which is Vin = 0 or difference of inputs = 0. Take for example an ideal amplifier with inputs V+ and V- V+ = 1 V- = 0.5 * Vout Supply Voltage = +-9 Vin = V+ - V- At start V+ = 1 and V- = 0, providing us...

i want to ask why the feed back at multivibrator must be positive feedback ?

Hi guys, I am trying to find the best way to lay out a grounding system for a typical tube amp. I had in mind to place the filter caps along the HT rail. I can use either axial or radial caps. The issue with the radial caps is they tend to be too big in diameter.I am trying to get to some...

Homework Statement Reduce the feedback resistance for the following T-Network Homework Equations Basic circuit analysis (Thevenin maybe?) The Attempt at a Solution My first though was to use Thevenin, and actually I've found some book used that method:

Where can I find one of these? That is, are there linear actuators where I can specify the force it should apply and it gives me back exactly how much force was applied? Are there any linear actuators that can do this and also give me position feedback, i.e., where my object is after it has been...

Hello. I've studied the golden rules of the feedback OP-AMP and applying this to voltage follower shows that voltage gain (Vout/Vin) is 1. Thus, Vout should eventually follows Vin when Vin suddenly changed. I've tried to follow this process for clear feeling by drawing pictures as shown in the...

Apologies for not doing too much research prior to asking this question; I suppose actually delving into the mathematics would reveal the answer I'm looking for but I haven't taken the time just yet. Considering the concept of GR where matter/energy tells space how to curve and space tells how...

Ok, so before I begin, I'd like to point out that I'm a 16-year-old GCSE student from the UK. Therefore all of my physics knowledge above high school level is self-taught, so I am by no means an expert. Anyway, I plan on building a deuterium reactor this Summer as a personal project, and I've...

Let 0-->M-->V-->W-->0 be an exact sequence of algebra's. We can then see that W = V/M. (is this true? Wouldn't W = V/Im(M)?) Then i wrote 'codimension 1 in a nilpotent algebra,' no idea why i wrote it. Anyone, if V is a nilpotent algebra, then V^2 < V. Let M be a comdension 1 subspace of V...
