This is great! I didnt even know there were mechanical analogs to electronic parts. This is going to make electronic teaching an awful lot mote intuitive!
The USA should start teaching electronics in third grade, and through high school. Don't even grade the kids. I think it's more important ever for kids to know.
I pick third grade only because I was thinking about kids safety. I don't know when kids stop swallows stuff these days.
I wonder why they don't start teaching kids important stuff early on, like; mechanics, finance, starting a business (profitable lemonade stand, and how ridiculous a permit is technically needed to operate, building residences. I for one colored to many maps, and memorized who Ecuador produces.
I think in the USA electronics couldn't be taught in grade school is the shortage of teachers who barely understand electricity, and math now, but that would change eventually?
I just pictured a dad from the future telling 13 year old Opie to fix the Tesla in Dan Akroyd voice. "Opie, but you learned how to properly dischge a capacitor in Miss Orliey's class?"
Maybe just reading, writing, and arithmetic after all that?
These are used, for example, in avia and rocket engines - in first or independent contours of their control systems. Such logic devices are very reliable, relatively simple and can work at extreme temperatures.
