Hello Alex,
No, not stupid at all ! Here is a fine example of an electromagnetic Beam
circuit. This Relay Core has a definite L 'ement" of retro about. The
triangles are meant to Show the similarity with the MicroCore. Relays are of
course natural Schmitt triggers. This low tech design could have been build
a century ago! Who knows, if someone had invented it then perhaps today we
would be driving walkers instead of cars.
enjoy
