A zener is sort-of like a tank of water with a hole in the side. As long as the hose (resistor) going into the tank is smaller,
the tank will never fill above the hole...
Now, is there a set of components, or a circuit, that achieves what a Shishi Odoshi does?
I know a diac will hold back current until it gets to ~32 volt, and then it dumps the charge until the current goes to zero, then resets.
Does anyone know if diacs are made in a series of voltages, like zener diodes? Or maybe something else?
