Möbius resistor
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A Möbius resistor is an electrical component made up of two conductive surfaces separated by a dielectric material, twisted 180° and connected to form a Möbius strip. It provides a resistor which has no residual self-inductance, meaning that it can resist the flow of electricity without causing magnetic interference at the same time.
A Möbius resistor can also act as a filter to attenuate current flow of a resonance frequency and the harmonics of that frequency while passing intermediate frequencies.[clarify]
