She learned how to bend neon tubing into shapes and how to connect electrical circuits and insert rheostats and timers to provide special visual effects. |
The basic principle used by rheostats is Ohm's law, which state that current is inversely proportional to resistance for a given voltage. |
Some did, however, and found a weird jumble of ohmmeters, rheostats, condensers, and other parts wired together in an incomprehensible manner. |
We were amused for a few seconds, but then we refocused and decided to turn off all the rheostats that provide back-lighting to that panel. |
Endogenous small regulatory RNAs are of intense research interest because they act as cellular rheostats, subtly modulating gene expression. |
As the instruments darkened, I raised my tinted visor and turned up the rheostats. |
