I updated my post in Franco Bruno Corteletti’s “Electrical Science” space on Quora. The article is called “Eric Dollard‘s Analog Computer as a Power Amplifier”...

..and I did a revision of its circuit simulation vastly improving it.
Since that’s a long post, it may be difficult to locate the update. So, here is a shortcut to the update by itself...

My goal for improving this simulated circuit was to reduce the input current which I managed to reduce to zero amperes and the voltage input is a rock stable one micro volt from peak-to-peak making this a zero watt input by comparison to its escalating output which does not have a limit because there is no regulating mechanism to pace its output relative to the demands made upon the load so that the escalating output does not exceed the load. To do this requires the use of switches opening and closing possibly draining the build up of energy to ground to periodically create a staccato of surges pulsing so many times per second.
I was able to develop this recent update (of using Eric Dollard's analog computer as a power amplifier) due to my recent discovery that Spectrum Software, the company who created and sold their analog electronic simulator (for the sum of $4,500 and upwards) has closed its business doors for the development and sales of their product. Instead, they are giving away free copies of their latest versions without any restrictions imposed one how large a circuit you can simulate without having to register your use of their product and pay them a large fee for its use...

Formerly, up until the 4th of July of last year (2019), impoverished users were restricted to small circuits of just a few components which demanded simplicity from my experiments to beat the high cost of purchasing their software by using their free demo evaluation version.
So, despite all of this glum news of current events, not everything is reason to be cranky!

One perspective is looking down along the length of the transmission line. But the perspective I wish to foc.....
