A basic design that is mostly destructable and mostly efficient, just not 100%. Includes an example of use on the right.

    Sandboxvoid: Yeah, but sometimes you have to take a break from efficiency and have some fun.

    You know you can make a diode in 4 pixels. lol. These are still cool I guess.

    Which prevents damage to sensetive components. Used like resistors. Of course, a solenoid would also work in some cases.

    yeah actually optical diodes are quite useful irl. like when a low power circuit controls a high power one, a optoisolator is used to prevent the high power from affecting the rest of the circuit +1
