Simulators

Pick parts from the library — a cell, a water, chokes on their cores — or a saved circuit, set the drive, and see what the whole thing does. Every number is derived in the open: the cell's capacitance from its geometry, each choke's inductance from its turns and core, and every step of the simulation with its formula and its numbers in.

60 parts in the library and 16 saved circuits.

The drawing

The VIC Matrix Circuit, drawn from the parts →

Meyer's Figure 7-8 with every element labelled by its live value: both chokes with their winding resistance, core loss and distributed capacitance, the cell as Cp and Re, the transformer and the blocking diode. The loop's L, C, R, reactances, impedance, phase and Q answer the drive as you move it; type a bridge reading over any element.

Not here, on purpose: the Matrix app's phase-inversion table (its numbers were chosen, not derived), its steam resonator's bond-breaking probability (likewise), and its rotary alternator variant, which is a frequency from a shaft speed and a pole count and nothing more.
