Overview

Spintronic diodes allow the current to flow in only one direction. Each diode only turns clockwise, but it can be used to allow counterclockwise current by placing it on the outside of a chain loop.

Detailed description

The ratchet mechanism on top allows only clockwise movement and requires a forward voltage of approximately 0.7 V. The reverse breakdown voltage is well above the rated maximum voltage of the chain.

Note that only one spintronic diode is required to build a half-wave rectifier and only two are necessary to build a full-wave rectifier.

Package includes:

  • 4 - Spintronic diodes

You need 2 but 4 may be a bit overkill

The diode is kind of the missing component of spintronics. Although it can be improvised with a transistor and a junction, the actual diode works a lot better. The ratchet mechanism makes a sound, so you could even consider this diode an led! Some of the act 2 puzzles that Involve diodes actually rely on the 1.5v drop from the transistor junction combination, but the others do work better with the real diode.
So far I have only needed 2. This is because spintronics chains go both ways at once so the spintronics diode is more like a pair of diodes. Therefore I haven't built anything for which I needed more than 2 diodes yet
