I have this circuit. The goal is that it going to control the current loop by using the NPN-transistor. My problem here is that 0V results that the output from the Op-amp is near 24V. Why? If I'm increasing the voltage a little bit, then I got this. And even better, If I implement a schottky di...

I was wondering how high the DJI Mavic Mini could fly before the air became too thin. I know that there are restrictions in the app (and probably in the drone/controller itself) but if you were able to override those things, how high would it go (not including battery life)? Thanks in advance!

Mazer Rackham says “There is no teacher but the enemy. No one but the enemy will tell you what the enemy is going to do. No one but the enemy will ever teach you how to destroy and conquer.

I was doing a monster battle with some of my friends and there were two aboleths, aboleth #1 and aboleth #2. Aboleth 1 had a werewolf under control using their enslave power, and then aboleth 2 took control of aboleth 1. Can aboleth 2 now control the werewolf under aboleth 1's control?

Supply curves are usually non decreasing. For example in a electricity market, providing more capacity means turning on new production units with higher costs, see e.g. the following representation: My question is, in what context would it make sense to have a non monotonic supply curve?

In several scenes of season 2 of The Mandalorian, the titular character uses a tiny telescope (possibly a rifle scope?) to look at certain objects, such as a gigantic dragon which is so close there's no conceivable reason to need magnification.

I have the next sequence queue: $\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}{\frac{n^2-n-1}{n^4+n^2+1}}$. Does the queue converges or diverge? My attempt: I have tried to show that $\frac{1}{n^2}>|\frac{n^2-n-1}{n^4+n^2+1}|$ for any $n>0$, and then by the comparation test we get that since $\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}{\frac{1}...

$$\Large \int_{0}^{\infty} \left (\frac{1}{ \sum_{k=0}^{\infty} x^k} \right)~ dx$$ It seems like this converges to $\approx \frac{1}{2}$ but when I try to calculate this I get really stuck, and for no reason! $$ \sum_{k=0}^{\infty} x^k = \frac{1}{1-x} $$ And so the integral becomes: $$\large \int...
