Feature request: Loss free resistor #555

A loss free resistor transfers the power lost into the original source. I’d say make it be a four terminal device. Here’s a reference: http://ptetis.agh.edu.pl/LossFreeResistor.pdf

I think this device is interesting enough to warrant inclusion. Plus, having it could bring attention to a obscure component.

Very interesting...

Well it doesn't use a variable transformer but it seems to be lossless: https://tinyurl.com/yanxq2z5
