  The “There is a German word for this” of the week:

  Personenvereinzelungsanlage

  Thank me later.

    Bruh. Why does German make so much sense

      Mostly, they cheat. They just describe a thing and take away the spaces.

      We are allowed to invent new words in our language (allowed by grammar)

      So you want to give a thing a word you just can take what it does and make it a world.

      So this device is designed to make people crowds to a single stream of persons.

      Personen(persons)vereinzelung(noun for creating a single of sth.)anlage(device/equipment/machine/facility)

      i mean you just did the same thing in english, queue slicer
      the only difference is that in german it’s more normal to shove words together and call it one word, whereas english is for once easier to understand.

    Personenvereinzelungsanlage No, we don’t use that word. It’s “Drehkreuz” or whatever.

      Apparently we DO use it: simons-voss.com/…/personenvereinzelungsanlage.htm…

      It’s definitely not “whatever”

  If it holds one human, how can we compensate for a better power factor?

  • Tar_alcaran@sh.itjust.works ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    It hold more than one human if you’re sufficiently motivated

    source

    • lmuel@sopuli.xyz ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      It will also stop less than one (me) if sufficiently motivated

  It’s a very lonely life having the most frenetic genetic tendencies of a terrier, a ferret and a pack rat. But the rush I get when I stumble upon obscure technological treasures? It makes it all worthwhile.

  Hey guys, know jackshit about electronics. Wouldn’t this be an inductor instead?

  • meyotch@slrpnk.net ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    Such a capacitor is used to fine tune antenna performance, so it is an inherent part of that particular subsystem. Anyone who has disassembled an older radio has probably run across one of these rotary air gapped type before.

    Inductors use a coil to store energy whereas capacitors use plates separated by a dielectric material, which is air in this case.

      Ah, thank you for your explanation. Though in my comment I failed to mention that such a turn style would impede the flow of people going through it, like an inductor. Is my understanding correct?

    Interesting enough, this could also be a diode because it only allows one way passage.

  … Planing or planning?
