How I write my answers on StackExchange

In this post I have shared a bit about my process for crafting answers on StackExchange Electrical Engineering and the challenges I encounter. The primary issue stems from my rather unconventional writing style. Instead of composing a complete response in one go, I tend to work in a rather chaotic manner, adding thoughts and ideas to a “skeleton" as they come to me. This approach is typical of a creative, inventive mind, a topic I have explored in more detail in How to extract and record new ideas . To elaborate, my process usually unfolds as follows: A question piques my interest and I am eager to provide an answer. I start by sketching out a basic outline using CircuitLab, serving as a framework for my response. I save this work in Google Docs, as I have found that StackExchange's autosave (backup) function is not entirely reliable. I then switch to my phone, finding it more comfortable to write while relaxing in bed, at a park, or anywhere else. I let my thoughts flow freel

Which is better - series or parallel rectifier? AI

A real conversation with Gemini... Since the idea of creating a series of AI-assisted circuit stories Talking with Gemini was born, I have been constantly experimenting. This is my latest story about diode circuits written in collaboration with Gemini AI (in italic), which I have tried to make look even more natural, like a real human conversation. It is based on the original StackExchange story and its copy in my blog . Here is the story itself... My suggestion to Gemini Gemini, I have been thinking about diode configurations lately. You know, sometimes they are in series... Simulate this circuit – Schematic created using CircuitLab ... or sometimes parallel. Simulate this circuit It got me wondering which is better and why. I even tried to  answer it on StackExchange. But I think it would be more fun if we created our own explanation together. We could make up a story or something. I will be taking a more creative approach this time. While I will still reference my SE EE answer ,
