Oooh! That makes sense. Also I did take basic circuits, I'm still surprised I passed it. We didn't cover this though, just went to DC and AC circuits calculating voltage / current across resistors and diodes and other such things. I've still got one more circuit class.
Out of curiosity, was what she was saying accurate? I kinda feel bad for the translator too, cuz there's so many places where info could have gotten mixed up. The author not understanding, the translator not understanding, I couldn't tell if the info was accurate cuz honestly circuits aren't my strong point. So I just glossed over it as standard novel science gibberish that was a bit more accurate in terminology than most others.
What’s your major? I just graduated with a bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering, so I recognized the concepts right away. I learned this stuff in a third year class called “energy conversion principles”. Everything she said is how modern power transmission works, including the cost savings of stepping down the voltage, or “magical pressure” as she calls it, which is what a transformer does. She even mentioned how an AC magic (voltage) generator is less complex and more efficient than a DC magic (voltage) generator. I’m impressed that it was translated so accurately. It’s like the concepts were taken from a textbook and they just swapped the word “voltage” with “magical pressure”
I HATE MATHS AND PHYSICS WHY IS IT EVERYWHERE!?!?!? AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH
