Talk:Redstone Comparator

Uses
Zigzagar 20:29, 25 November 2012 (UTC) Let's think of some good uses and looks for this right below:
 * Weight-dependant minecart intersections would be cool. Servers could have a sign that says "for rail 1 take 1 stack of cobble" and so on. It could use the signal strength dependant on weight and the capacitors will use only the ones they detect to switch a curved rail. Funky3000 21:33, 25 November 2012 (UTC)

Another possible use for the capacitor block would be to create an actual capacitor, where the capacitor can be used in a comparator to compare the input current with the internal charge of the capacitor, allowing for more true technologies to be implemented. Additionally, again using a storage medium for current (e.g, a ring of repeaters connected by opaque blocks.), better counters could be constructed, where a single input will simply charge the apparatus, while a second input would cause overflow, and the output would carry to the next unit. I had an idea where similar structures could even be used to create complex RSNNs (Resonant Spiking Neural Networks). 11:14, 15 December 2012

Block Name
At this stage the name is not really official, but I'm curious why they are calling the block a Capacitor when its real world equivalent is clearly a Comparator (real world Caps are energy storage devices, not energy comparing devices) Antiroot 20:06, 8 December 2012 (UTC) ->EDIT: The real world equivalent is actually an Avalanche diode. 11:06 15 December 2012 (EST)

Redirect
This page is redirected from Capacitor, but Capacitor is used in the box at the bottom. Pokechu22 02:21, 11 December 2012 (UTC)


 * I'm not too concerned about this; we'll get all the links sorted out once we know the official name of the block. I think it's unlikely to be 'Capacitor Block', so any links changed to point directly here would have to be changed again later. -- Orthotope 10:12, 11 December 2012 (UTC)
