Episode 2 of Back of the Envelope! this was a calculation I did to confirm that something I ad-libbed while filming my last video checked out. If you run direct current through a wire, could you ever ACTUALLY move all the electrons that started in the wire out one end and replace them with "new" ones?

    I wouldn't say that the characteristic impedance is something the Electrical Engineers made up to describe this behavior. It is a value that is found when working with the Partial Differential Equations that describe transmission line behavior. Other than that, this is a great demonstration of characteristic impedance and how it affects transmission lines.

    Your original video was perfect. However, many people don't understand how you packaged your ideas in such a difficult topic for delivery, even some who are engineers. So this explanation is good for them but I feel it was not really necessary. I do have one possible contribution if ever want to repeat this or something similar. Although it may not change the results of your demonstration much, you might get better measurements if you use a differential probe on your scope. Even if you say to me ... "the circuit was floating, I used only one probe and its GND was the only connection at any one point along my circuit, so it should be OK", I'd say ... there is still an imbalance between probe GND (because antenna-like low impedance) and probe TIP (because of high impedance). If you use two TIPs then that is no longer an issue. Then also, you can use another probe at the battery switch to trigger your scope and you won't have any impact on your measurements because of ground loops (I'm not referring to quantum effects of course). Added, for the "switch" you can use a two MOSFETs to connect your battery driven by a clean pulse, like a 555.

    Attenuation. Half Bridge Rectifier Has a Diamond shape split circuit thingy, the sine wave got chopped up and split half to the left and half to the right... When any resistor are placed at one of the half bridge rectifier left or right split... If both combine again, the time phase shift thingy would be noticed and it overlaps on the sine wave causing merged sine wave from a time phase shift version with resistor and a normal half bridge rectifier. This part, how to tweak the frequency back to its original without distortion. Is this too complicated because I don't know the words for it.

    I guess the sudden closing of the switch acts as a step input or in other words a high frequency pulse which determines the 150 Ohms in the case of your circuit. Is my understanding correct?

    Hmmmm. Probably better to think in terms of fields, rather than "electrons moving" (which is also right, a bit but less useful). Once electrons are abstracted away into electric field (displacement field) and magnetic field, we can see thst the energy is propagating at lightspeed (depending on √με). Energy is present on the wire being shuttled between H & E according to the local impedance. The vector cross product (the "Poynting vector") transfers the energy. If the timing between E&H is just so, and they're oscillating - the pulse of energy can leave the wire entirely and radiate as electromagnetism (in free space's 370Ω characteristic impedance). Still, I was thinking about this a few months ago. Whilst the fields represent capacitor energy with electric field, and inductance represents magnetic field due to currents it has _lossless_ impedance, it can only exist as *changes* so there is no "DC" real part. This is where the world of real resistor heating energy is very different to field energy existing only as differentials.

    To switch the Hex schmitt trigger inverters quickly you need to supply current to the IC over a large frequency band (Fourier analysis), which means you have to have instantaneous current flow at high frequencies to minimize the signal rise and fall times, meaning smaller value supply capacitors (higher self resonance) as you get closer to the IC power pins while minimizing the device lead inductance (lead length). But, you will quickly be limited by the IC package internal lead inductance. You will have several capacitors in parallel of different values and types all working together to meet the high frequency IC switching current demand. The aluminum electrolytic capacitors in the video have much too small a self resonance frequency to supply the needed current to switch the IC quickly, and the bulk capacitance is largely negated by high inductance of the long lead lengths.

    I guess this is also why, when you do signal transmission, it's really important to match the impedance. Reflections would interfere with the signal you are trying to transmit, so you want to absorb them with a proper impedance. Old ethernet cables (BNC) used a 75 ohm terminator at the end of the line exactly because of this. It would be interesting as a follow up if you could determine the actual math and physical characteristics that make a wire a 50 ohm vs a 75 ohm vs a 150 ohm impedance, and also how it affects audio signal transmission (e.g. impedance matching in speakers, and how mismatching impedance can affect audio quality). You can even get into radio and antennas and discuss ROS/SWR meters.
