Signal Amplifier

    I didn't see any gates or electronics that looked like this and I was just bored enough today to work on it. Also, I figured this could help some people out.

    It's not as exact as the signs imply (still trying to figure out a standard so calculation of amplification ratio is easier), but it works fairly well for one spark input.

    I made the one from the old PT in the new one. Just type 'user:lolzy' and look for my current amplifier. One downside of it is that it doesnt work with heat sim on.

    Yeah, I saw that one, but I wanted to make a more reliable and controllable amplifier using the new semiconductors.
    Only downsides are, like I said, requiring a cooldown period and that they won't amplify more than one spark per cycle.

    Awesome! I've already used it in one of my reactors here...

    i made a smaller version but credited your work (look up :tiny signal amplifier)

    I finally made a gate-standard for amplification.

    It may not be as space saving, but it's more controllable and predictable.

    Off-top sorry but how did you change your display picture?

    It's used in GitHub too.
