minus-squareMonkderVierte@lemmy.ziplinkfedilinkarrow-up1·edit-23 hours agoInitial state: all potential pumped up. Signal flow state: first pump releaes, changing potential, which triggers the next pump to release. You can think of this like a series of condenser plus transistor discharging one after another. While usual electricity is just one potential-difference.
