DELTA-STAR FTW
k basically, Wayne said this
"Don't bother with delta star, it's useless."
The idea is that you can transform Delta to star and vice-versa in a circuit to analyse it. Wayne on the other hand like to inject 1V/1A into everything and whack equations. We weren't really thinking too much abt it till I applied this to capacitors and got a super nice solution for some screwed up question. So we formed a Delta-Star party and whacked everything with Delta-Star and......
We reduced this cube into a tetrahedral, and realised that there's a star configuration in the tetrahedral and ended up with two parallel triangles, which when analysed, is just 3 parallel pairs of resistors connected in series in a ring.
Of course, Mr Ricardo has another method which is much easier, but this method is just epic.
