Cooling safety ide

[Lumilun]

I've implemented a NOT gate in the cooling system, allowing three or more systems to collectively control the operation of the aquatuner. The thermostat is set to 230°C, ensuring that if the temperature exceeds this threshold, the aquatuner is automatically stopped. This setup provides a fail-safe mechanism, optimizing energy efficiency while preventing overheating.

I just use AND Gate. Because Both Conditions need to green. Temperature of Liquid in Pipe and Temperature of the Room.

This one is like OR Gate.

... which works perfectly. I make similar designs, using the fact that wires act as tacit OR gates, all the time. It works because AND(A, B) = NOT(OR(NOT(A), NOT(B))) . I rarely use OR nor AND gates anymore. It's all NOT gates or ribbon readers set to 1 (which act as one way pass-through) as far as logic is concerned. I find it requires less space and gates to build complex logic that way most of the time.

Thanks for your design. It works like AND GATE but it is requires less space

Yes but now i use 3 coditions to turn it on or of

I really like you idea because you can manually turn off aquaturner too

Great! This solves the limitation of mimicking OR gate using plain signal line connection. Any green on connected signal lines would result the whole network become green, cloaking other sources that may be sending red.

Ribbon reader is neat. Bye-bye all those bulky AND/OR gates!

I've been messing with a bunch of different methods of cooling and I still haven't found one that I like.  However, I do have an example of using a ribbon reader as a time delay to synchronize the signals.  

In this case, I'm charging a battery from a high-voltage line and don't want to burn the line out.  So when the battery needs to charge, it flips the disconnect to the transformer and flips the connect to the high voltage line.   Without the ribbon reader, the connection to high voltage gets turned on before the connection to the transformer gets turned off and the line burns out.  With the ribbon reader, they both trip at roughly the same time and no wires melt.
