Rust HBHF tesla trap circuit
An HBHF sensor feeds one input of an AND switch and a branch gives 25 to the other: when someone walks in, the AND gives the larger of the two and the tesla coil fires at full power.
How to wire it
- Medium Rechargeable Battery "Power Output" → Electrical Branch "Power In"
- Electrical Branch "Power Out" → HBHF Sensor "Power In"
- Electrical Branch "Branch Out" → AND Switch "Input B"
- HBHF Sensor "Power Out" → AND Switch "Input A"
- AND Switch "Power Out" → Tesla Coil "Power In"

How Rust electricity works
Power in Rust is pushed, not pulled: a source sends everything it makes down the wire, and each component decides what to pass on. A splitter divides what comes in evenly between the outputs that have a wire, without looking at what each one needs; whatever isn't used is lost. A branch sends a fixed amount out of Branch Out and the rest straight on.
Batteries are the exception that makes bases work: a battery always pushes its full output (15, 50 or 100), but it only spends what the things wired after it actually use. That's why a battery feeding a turret and a light through a splitter drains 11 per second, not 50. It charges at 80% of what comes in.
Most components that only route power use none: splitters, branches, switches, timers, counters and logic gates. Lights, sensors, RF and door controllers use 1, the auto turret 10, the SAM site 25. A component that gets less than it needs doesn't run and doesn't spend anything.
