Examples of simulations with parallel 'information' or 'instruction'

Transistor (version RM)
without a lot of information, pictures and schemes on one web-page.

Transistor (version MMOP)
with parallel instruction (explanation) about AC (alternating current; the input/output signal) and DC (direct current; the electric current) and 'amplifing' uo = A*ui

Boiler / Sun heater (version INF)
(runs only in Internet Explorer)
built with DreamWeaver and Flash.
