The ANAPF active power filter collects the harmonic current of the system through the current transformer, quickly calculates and extracts the content of each harmonic current through the controller, and generates a harmonic current command. Then, the compensation current with equal magnitude and opposite direction to the harmonic current is generated by the power actuator and injected into the power system, thereby offsetting the harmonic current generated by the nonlinear load. It is suitable for parallel connection in low-voltage power distribution systems with harmonic loads, and can track and compensate dynamically changing harmonic currents quickly and in real time.

Types of Active Power Filter

ANAPF Active Power Filter

What are the Functions of Active Power Filter?

By suppressing harmonics, purifying the power grid, and saving 8%-20% of comprehensive electricity related costs, the use of this equipment can quickly and effectively recover the investment cost (generally no more than two years);

It can save the cost of power transformer and cable expansion, and improve the service life of power transformer;

It can filter out harmonics, ensure the safety of power supply, and avoid electricity accidents (such as electrical fires, or shutdown due to electricity failure);

It can extend the life of electronic equipment and components, such as reactive power compensation capacitors;

The power factor can be improved, and the power factor can reach 0.95-1 (to meet the electricity requirements of enterprises, avoid high penalties, or even stop power supply).

What are the Advantages of Active Power Filter?



Fast response ability

The output frequency of the next switch can be quickly calculated in a short time, the response is very fast, and the harmonics that change more frequently can be quickly compensated.

High reliability

It has various protection functions such as output over-current, DC side over-voltage, DC side under-voltage, AC side over-current, AC side over-voltage, IGBT dead zone protection and IGBT comprehensive protection. In case of an abnormality in the equipment or system, the equipment can safely exit operation or protect the system and equipment.

Compensating force with large capacity

The compensation capability of the active filter has a lot to do with the capacity of the IGBT. The active power filter can achieve unrestricted cabinet expansion, realize large-capacity harmonic compensation, and greatly reduce the cost.

Simple operation method and structure

It only needs to be connected to the system in parallel with the load, and no other operations are required. The internal structure is simple, and the converter is a modular structure, which is easy to install and maintain. After being connected to the system, it can operate normally without manual intervention.

Ekko and heimerdinger are being nerdy while you sleep

requested. by anon

There was always a soft hum of machinery that filled the air in Heimerdinger’s workshop. And with that accompanied by the occasional clink of tools and the professor’s enthusiastic ramblings. The workshop had an oddly calming atmosphere, a mix of glowing gadgets, bubbling contraptions, and the gentle warmth of lamp-lit light. It was perfect for dozing off, especially after a long day of following Ekko around Zaun.

You were sprawled out on the old, lumpy couch tucked in a corner of the workshop, your head cushioned by one of Ekko’s jackets that you’d claimed for yourself. Curled up against your side was your pet, a small, scrappy Zaunite fox. Its fur was a mix of gray and russet, with glowing green streaks running along its ears and tail. Ekko had found it injured near one of the Sump scrapers, and after some patching up, it had attached itself to you like glue.

Ekko called it “Scraps” (because of course he would), and Scraps was now peacefully snoozing, just like you.

Across the room, Ekko and Heimerdinger were huddled around one of the professor’s latest inventions, discussing something that involved words you didn’t fully understand.

“…but if you accelerate the core’s energy output without stabilizing the oscillation, it’ll implode,” Ekko said, gesturing animatedly at the device.

Heimerdinger adjusted his tiny glasses, nodding. “Precisely! Which is why you must ensure the harmonic calibrations are synced—ah, but don’t forget to account for temporal distortions.”

As the professor continued explaining, Ekko’s focus wavered. His gaze drifted toward the couch where you were sleeping, your form softly rising and falling with each breath. Scraps twitched its glowing tail but stayed nestled close to you.

A small smile crept onto Ekko’s face. You looked so peaceful, completely at odds with the chaos that usually surrounded you both in Zaun. Your hand was loosely tangled in Scraps’ fur, your other arm tucked under your cheek.

He didn’t notice the professor had stopped talking until Heimerdinger’s voice broke through his thoughts. “Ah, young love,” Heimerdinger said, his tone tinged with teasing amusement.

Ekko snapped his head back toward him, blinking. “Huh? What’re you talking about?”

Heimerdinger chuckled, folding his hands behind his back. “There’s no use denying it, dear boy. The way you’re looking at them, it’s rather endearing, really.”

Ekko’s ears burned. “I wasn’t—I mean, I was just—” He trailed off, rubbing the back of his neck. “They’re asleep, alright? That’s all.”

Heimerdinger hummed, clearly unconvinced. “Still, allow me to impart some wisdom, as one who has witnessed countless romances blossom and wither over the centuries.”

“Oh no,” Ekko muttered, groaning.

Ignoring him, Heimerdinger continued, his voice taking on the tone of a well-meaning but meddling elder. “When courting a significant other, one must always show respect, patience, and attentiveness. Flowers are an excellent gesture, but so is active listening. Communication, you see, is the foundation of—”

“Professor,” Ekko interrupted, exasperated. “I don’t think you understand. We’re not—”

“Young people these days,” Heimerdinger said with a dramatic shake of his head, cutting him off. “Always so quick to dismiss advice. But mark my words: treat them well, or you’ll regret it!”

Before Ekko could retort, Scraps stirred, lifting its head with a sleepy yawn. The movement must’ve disturbed you because you shifted slightly, blinking groggily as the sound of their voices filtered through your half asleep haze.

“Mm… what’s going on?” you mumbled, sitting up and rubbing your eyes. Scraps hopped off the couch and stretched before circling back to your lap.

Ekko winced, shooting you an apologetic look. “Sorry, Firefly,” he said softly, using the nickname he’d given you. “Didn’t mean to wake you up.”

Firefly—because you were always a little light in Zaun’s darkness, buzzing around him with endless energy.

You shook your head, a sleepy smile tugging at your lips. “It’s fine,” you murmured, scratching Scraps behind the ears. “What were you guys talking about?”

Heimerdinger perked up. “Oh, nothing of consequence!” he said cheerfully, though his smirk told a different story. “Merely enlightening young Ekko on the art of courtship.”

You blinked, then glanced at Ekko, who looked like he wanted the floor to swallow him whole. “Courtship?” you repeated, raising an eyebrow.

“Don’t start,” Ekko muttered, shooting Heimerdinger a look.

The professor chuckled, his ears twitching. “Ah, youth. So easily embarrassed.”

You couldn’t help but laugh at Ekko’s expression, your earlier grogginess fading. “Well, did you learn anything useful?” you teased.

Ekko rolled his eyes but smiled despite himself. “Yeah, yeah, laugh it up.”

He reached out, ruffling your hair gently before pulling his hand back. “For real, though. Sorry we woke you up. Want me to walk you home?”

You shook your head, leaning back against the couch. “Nah, I’m good here. I like listening to you two talk.”

Heimerdinger beamed. “A kindred spirit indeed! Intellectual discourse is a joy to behold, is it not?”

Ekko groaned, dragging a hand down his face. “And now you’ve encouraged him. Great.”

You just laughed again, feeling the warmth of the moment settle around you. Scraps let out a contented sigh, curling up in your lap, and Ekko plopped down on the couch beside you. His hand found yours, giving it a quick squeeze before letting go, his usual ease returning.

The three of you stayed in the workshop, for endless hours as the two nerds worked on their projects. Whereas you cheered them on at the sidelines with cute ol’ Scraps to keep you company. Especially when they would talk about all the science lingo that you did not understand. Even though ekko would sometimes explain it in more simpler terms. It didn’t quite go through your head. Needlessly to say you enjoyed the days you would spend at the workshop.

Electronic equipment called Active Harmonic Filters

Electronic equipment called Active Harmonic Filters (AHFs) are used to reduce harmonic distortion in electrical systems. When non-linear loads like computers, rectifiers, and variable frequency drives draw non-sinusoidal currents from the electrical network, harmonic distortion results. This non-sinusoidal current flow may result in a number of issues, including:

Decreased energy effectiveness Transformers, motors, and other equipment overheating Circuit breakers and safety measures tripping Interference with electronic devices with high sensitivity An AHF provides a compensating current waveform to cancel out harmonic currents by using sophisticated power electronics to detect harmonic distortions in the electrical system. To guarantee the proper amount of harmonic reduction is maintained, the AHF functions in real-time and continuously checks the harmonic content of the electrical network.

AHFs come in two flavors: passive and Active Harmonic Filters are filtered out using passive filters, which use passive elements like resistors, inductors, and capacitors. They are straightforward and affordable, but they don’t function well and aren’t appropriate for all applications. Advanced power electronics are used by active filters to create a waveform of compensatory current to cancel out harmonic currents. Although they cost more, they deliver more performance, flexibility, and control.

AHFs can be utilized in a range of applications, including industrial, commercial, and residential ones, and are normally installed in parallel with the load. They are especially beneficial in settings with strong harmonic distortion, like data centers, hospitals, and industrial facilities.

A device that reduces harmonic distortion in electrical systems is known as an active harmonic filter. In order to maintain the proper amount of harmonic reduction, it functions in real-time and constantly checks the electrical network’s harmonic content. AHFs can help increase energy efficiency, minimize equipment damage, and lessen interference with delicate electronic equipment. They are utilized in a wide range of applications.

AC Motor Start And Run Capacitor A start capacitor and a run capacitor are normally needed for AC motor operation. The start capacitor is used to give the motor a quick energy boost to get it spinning. The run capacitor is employed to keep the motor operating at a constant speed and efficiency.

The start capacitor is intended to deliver a significant amount of capacitance for a brief period of time, typically just a few seconds. Once the motor has started, a relay or centrifugal switch switches it out of the circuit. It is often a larger capacitor than the run capacitor.

It’s crucial to find a capacitor for a motor that has the right capacitance and voltage rating. A capacitor’s operating temperature is likewise rated, thus choosing one with a temperature value that is too low could result in an early failure.

In conclusion, a start capacitor and a run capacitor are essential for an AC motor to function properly. The run capacitor delivers sustained energy after the motor has been started by the start capacitor.

In conclusion, a start capacitor and a run capacitor are essential for an AC motor to function properly. The run capacitor keeps the motor’s speed and efficiency during operation while the start capacitor supplies the initial burst of energy needed to start the motor. It is crucial to choose the proper capacitance and voltage rating for the motor as well as a capacitor with a temperature rating appropriate for the operating conditions of the motor.

Thermal Scanning Services & Rental The use of thermal imaging cameras to identify and measure temperature variations in a variety of applications is referred to as thermal scanning. Users of thermal imaging cameras can quickly and readily notice hotspots or anomalies that could be signs of equipment failure or energy loss by using infrared technology to provide a visual depiction of temperature variations.

Companies that specialize in using thermal imaging cameras to find and diagnose problems in mechanical and electrical systems frequently offer thermal scanning services. These services could consist of:

Inspections of electrical systems can be done using thermal scanning to spot potential problems like overheated wires or defective connections. This can lessen the risk of fire and assist prevent equipment failure.

~oOo~

You woke up early, the early morning sunlight filtering in through a small window in your hut. You looked at your arm, the scratches from the cougar hardly visible anymore.

With a slight sense of relief, you knew that your mother would be less strict about your activities today, allowing you a bit more freedom within your allowed territory.

You slipped on the faded cream dress, the fabric soft and supple against your skin. It was a gift from your mother for your last birthday. You couldn't help but feel a pang of affection as you looked at the dress. Despite not always being understood by your family, you appreciated these simple gestures of love and care.

Your mother did try her best, considering the circumstances. Being an ape and raising a human child was a task that proved to be more difficult than she had initially imagined. Yet, she tried her hardest to understand your needs and interests.

She learned how to read and started collecting human relics, artifacts, and books, using them to teach you about humans and their history. Despite these efforts, your restless soul still yearned for something more, something she couldn't fully grasp or fulfill.

You had grown into a young woman now, but your spirit was not yet settled. You yearned for more than just the comforts of your village. The itch for adventure, the need to explore and experience the world, it was a constant, nagging feeling deep inside of you.

Despite your yearnings for freedom and exploration, strict regulations were placed upon you, especially by your father. His main priority was your safety. The rules and limitations placed upon you felt like a cage, restraining your spirit and keeping you from fully experiencing everything the world had to offer.

You began to pack your bag, excited for the day ahead. Though you couldn't venture into the overgrown city, you were determined to enjoy the day.

You packed your ukulele, knowing it would bring you solace, along with some fruit to keep your energy up. You chuckled as you tucked your knife into your bag, always ensuring that you had some way of protecting yourself, just in case. Lastly, you placed your current book into your bag, eager for the chance to dive into another world far from the reality of this one.

“Where do you… think you’re going this early?”

You were just about to head out when you heard a voice from behind you. You turn to find your mother standing in the doorway of the hut, her hand on her hip, her eyes peering at you with a mixture of concern and annoyance. You never could sit still.

You approach your mother, leaning into her touch, allowing her to gently tuck a strand of hair behind your ear. You understood that she only wanted you to be safe, that her sternness and concern came from a place of love. And you knew that this simple act of physical contact was her way of showing that.

You reassure your mother, letting her know your plans. "I'm just going to the river's edge," you say, your hand shaking the ukulele. "Maybe sit on top of the rocks near the waterfall.” Your mother pauses for a moment, her eyes meeting yours. For a moment, you see her concern, the worry for your safety etched into her expression. But then, she nods, her head brushing against yours in a tender kiss.

"Be careful," she whispers, her voice full of love and worry. You give your mother a cheeky grin as you leave the hut, your words filled with lighthearted confidence. "Me? I'm always careful," you tease, before disappearing into the early morning sunlight, heading towards the river's edge.

You arrive you are immediately embraced by the morning's sounds, every still quiet. The light morning chatter of the birds fills your ears, harmonizing with the rushing water. Something is soothing about this place, a sense of tranquility that seems to wash over you with every sound.

You settle onto the large rock, placing yourself next to the rushing water. It's a spot you've found peace in before, the natural sound of the river like a melody accompanying your own. Bringing your ukulele into your lap, you begin to play lightly, the first few notes filling the air around you.

Just as if they were waiting for your cue, the morning birds chirp happily in response to your strumming. It's an almost magical moment as if the birds are responding to the music, joining in a natural chorus. You hum along to the melody of the ukulele, a smile spreading across your face.

It's moments like this, surrounded by nature and music, that make you feel most alive, free of the constraints and worries of your day-to-day life.

You continue to play, your fingers deftly moving over the strings of your ukulele, when you notice a large red eagle perched in a tree across the way. The bird seems to take notice of you, peering down at you with curious eyes, perhaps intrigued by your music.

It's a sight that takes your breath away, the red feathers of the eagle almost seem to flutter in the light, catching the sunlight, as it spreads its wings and flaps once. You find yourself captivated by this majestic creature, your playing becoming softer and more melodic as if the music was a response to the eagle.

The large eagle suddenly takes flight, crossing the distance between the tree and the rock with a few strong flaps of its wings. It comes to a stand on the neck of your ukulele, its talons gripping it gently but firmly as if it wants to listen closer.

"Hello." You greet the bird in a whisper, your fingers reaching out to gently touch its neck. The bird tilts its head ever so slightly as you touch it, its red feathers soft and silken under your touch. It seems to regard you carefully, its eyes watching your every move.

The bird suddenly flaps its wings, lifting off from the neck of your ukulele and taking flight. It soars through the air, heading north. You watch as it disappears from your sight, its silhouette becoming smaller and smaller against the vast blue sky.

You find yourself reflecting on the interaction with the eagle. It had been a strange and magical experience. Birds in general were drawn to music, but an eagle allowing such close contact was unusual.

It was as if the creature understood the connection between music and nature, or perhaps it sensed something in you. It became a routine the next week. Each time you would venture to the waterfall and play, you’d draw the red eagle's attention. It would greet you with a hello and fly off to its other daily duties. How you wished you could be as free as the bird.

Noa woke with a start, his eyes fluttering open in the early light of dawn. The first thing he noticed was the absence of Eagle Sun. Its absence leaves a curious emptiness in the air. Noa's worry continued to grow. This wasn't the first time Eagle Sun had been gone from the nest in the early hours of the morning. It was becoming a pattern. The bird had begun to go missing regularly, disappearing for hours just after the sun had begun to rise, only to return from the west.

This particular morning, Noa made it his mission for the day to find out where and why Eagle Sun was disappearing. He knew something was off, and the need to figure out what was behind the bird's odd behavior filled his thoughts. As soon as he saw Eagle Sun's wings spread and the bird take flight, Noa was ready. He immediately mounted his horse, determined to follow the bird's trail and discover its secret. With the morning sun barely peeking over the horizon, Noa urged his horse into a gallop, his eyes fixed on the diminishing figure of Eagle Sun in the distance.

Noa had ridden for over a mile, following Eagle Sun's unwavering path. The wind whipped through his hair as he galloped after the bird, the landscape zooming by in a blur. Despite the urge to go faster, he kept a steady pace, knowing that a steady pursuit was more likely to yield results.

As Noa followed Eagle Sun, he came to the river, a barrier separating two territories of land. Noa's ears perked up as a light, melodic sound reached his ears. It was a familiar sound, one he had heard before, but he couldn't quite place it at first. As he strained to listen, the sound grew clearer.

Noa climbs the rock, his eyes adjusting to the sight before him. There you were, sitting with your back to him, strumming… something. Noa had never seen such an object. You sat conducting music and singing with an angelic voice. For a moment, he thought he must be dreaming.

Noa watched in shocked amazement as Eagle Sun perched on the neck of your instrument, letting you pet its neck. This was no dream. It was reality, but it was not what he had expected. The eagle was reacting to your ukulele and your presence in a way that was almost unprecedented.

"Hello again." You hummed to the bird, a smile playing on your lips. The bird seemed to regard you with curiosity, its head tilting slightly as it listened to your music. Eagle Sun was acting more like a pet than a wild bird, a fact that further bewildered Noa.

Noa, too focused on the scene unfolding before him, lost his footing and tumbled to the ground. He let out a muffled grunt as he hit the surface, the unexpected fall jarring him out of his trance-like state.

You turn around quickly at the sound of Noa's fall, your eyes widening in surprise. There he was, lying in the dirt with a shocked expression on his face.

You mime his expression. It was him. The eyes that had been haunting your dreams, the ones you had seen in the woods, were his.

You felt a strange mixture of surprise and recognition as you looked at him lying on the ground. This was the ape who had been in your thoughts, the one you had dreamed about constantly. “It’s you.” You whispered, an uncontrollable smile tugging at the corners of your lips.

Noa's heart skipped a beat at the sound of your voice. It was you. The person who had taken a nest in his mind for weeks was standing in front of him, just as he had imagined. No, even better.

Noa's heart thumped loudly in his chest as he met your gaze. All he could manage was to gulp and offer a shaky smile. This was unexpected but in the best possible way. You were not just a figment of his imagination, you were real, and you were smiling at him.

Eagle Sun lets out a loud caw, breaking the silence. The bird then flies over to Noa, landing on his wrapped wrist. Noa looks down at the eagle, startled by its sudden appearance. It seemed as if the bird was trying to get his attention.

"Is he yours?" You asked

Noa looks up at you, his mind still reeling from the events of the past few seconds. He wasn't expecting such a direct question.

"Yes," he answered, the word coming out a little more choked than he'd intended. "He is... was my father’s bird.” Noa looks at the bird before it pecks his head. Noa grits his teeth.

Noa's mind was a whirlwind of emotions as he looked at you. He had never felt this way before, especially not towards someone he had just met. The beauty you possessed had made his body freeze, his heart racing.

He was also confused at the sight of Eagle Sun on your instrument, the bird allowing you, a stranger, to pet him so calmly.

You stare at Noa. He seemed to be an ape of few words. Maybe he didn’t know how to speak. You raise your hands to sign.

‘Like to sit with me?’

He hesitated for a moment, his mind processing your question. He nods back. He didn’t trust his words now. Sure they would come out shaky and unclear.

Noa sits down a few feet away from you, his eyes studying you closely. He finds himself captivated by your every move. There is something about you that draws him in, a captivating energy that he can't quite explain.

You notice the scars on his wrist, similar to yours, only they've already healed. They must’ve been from a recent fight. Your gaze drifts back to his face, taking in his features, his eyes that seem to look straight into your soul.

“It’s healing well.” Noa nods in acknowledgment. "Yes, it is." he manages, his voice slightly hoarse. As he speaks, his eyes remain fixated on yours. There's an intensity in his gaze as he studies your features as if he's trying to commit them to memory.

You smile and introduce yourself, feeling a sense of rightness in this moment. The sun was hitting the river perfectly, and the sound of the birds and the water was so peaceful. Noa's heart skips a beat at the sound of your name. He hadn't expected introductions but was glad you had initiated them.

He places his hand against his chest, offering his own name in a traditional show of introduction. “Noa.” There’s something about the way he says his name that seems to have a double meaning, a depth that goes beyond the surface.

Should be mentioned that he is the Master of Birds? He’s the leader of his clan. He should be proud. Would that make him seem likable? Would you be more intimidated or interested? Why does he care?

The two of you sit for a moment longer, the silence filled with the soothing sound of your ukulele strings. Noa allows his gaze to rake over you once more before his eyes focus on your strumming.

He finds himself mesmerized by the music, his mind calming with each light strum of the strings.

Words were not needed at this moment. The two of them sat in a comfortable silence, the sound of your ukulele and the gentle sounds of nature filling the air.

Noa had never felt so at peace with another person. He was used to constant action, leading his clan, and being on guard. But with you, he could just be. It was a refreshing change.

The thought of being comfortable with an Echo was almost humorous to Noa. He had always been taught they were creatures to be feared.

But looking at you, the way your hands moved over the strings of your ukulele, it wasn’t fear he was feeling. It was fascination and comfort.

Noa couldn’t help but smile at the thought. Maybe you had cast some sort of spell on him. Or maybe it was something else.

He couldn’t deny the pull he felt towards you, a draw that went beyond any sort of emotion he had ever felt. He had become obsessed weeks ago when you saved him, and now it only grew stronger. You turn to him, “I like it here. It’s quiet.”

He looks at you as you speak, nodding in agreement. "It is quiet," he signs back. "Peaceful."

Noa looks out at the river and the trees, his mind completely at ease for once. This quiet moment was something he hadn't realized he had been lacking.

So much had happened in a rush for Noa. losing his father, his clan being captured by Proximus, escaping, and his further broken trust in humans caused by Mae. The clan returned together to rebuild their fallen home. Noa was their leader now. The pressure was immense, but Noa was strong and determined to guide his clan to a better future.

But Noa was not one to slow down or rest, always dedicated to his duties and the well being of his clan. But with you, he found it easier to take a step back. He discovered that being in your presence soothed his mind, the world’s worries fading away for a moment.

He looks down at his wrists, tracing his fingers over the healing scars. He looks back up at you, a hint of curiosity in his eyes.

"Why?" He signs back, a slight frown on his face. "You… saved me… Why?" He watches for your reaction, wondering why you did it. Why you would risk everything just to save him?

You look at him confused. “Why not?”

The response makes Noa even more confused by the interaction. Echos were supposed to be selfish and vengeful, yet here you were, the complete opposite; selfless and humbled.

Noa struggled to understand why you would show such kindness to him. He had always been taught to fear and distrust Echos, but at this moment, all he felt was gratitude and curiosity.

Noa ponders the question. was this what Caesar believed? for apes and humans to co-exist peacefully? He looks at you, searching your face for any hint of malice or deceit. But he finds only kindness and sincerity.

“You were in trouble. I wasn’t just going to let it tear you apart.”

He nods in understanding. The reasoning made sense, but it still puzzled him how you could just risk your life for him.

"I was in trouble," he signs with a slight nod. "You ...helped." Was it common for most? Had Noa heard the horror stories to keep him inside? You smile at Noa. “Don’t have a lot of experience with humans?” Noa hesitates, his mind going back to his earlier encounter with Mae. She had proven him wrong. Washed him and the others away like they were nothing. "No," he says back, his gaze shifting away from you.

You nod in understanding. “Me either. I mean I’ve gotten close enough to watch, but I’ve never really met another human.” He looks at you in surprise. So you had been living alone as well? Noa didn't know what he expected, but it wasn't this.

"You have never met…another human?” Noa looks you over as if he needs to make sure. “You are… human." His gaze searches your face.

You look down at your hands, “My mom died when she had me. A village took me in. I don’t get to go out much.”

Noa ponders the possibility of other clans nearby. He had heard of them before, but never one so close. He looks you over, a question forming in his mind. "Other village…nearby?" He asks, his gaze studying your expression. “dangerous?”

You shake your head. “No, no. Not at all. Won’t even tell them I saw you.” Noa nods in understanding, relief washing over him at your answer. He had never really interacted with anyone outside his own clan before, but with you, he felt strangely comfortable.

There was a comfortable silence that fell over the two of you. Neither one of you felt compelled to share too much personal information, yet being in each other’s presence felt like fate.

Noa found himself watching you closely as you strummed your instrument. The sound was soothing, the moment so peaceful.

You notice the first signs of daybreak, the rustling of nearby animals and birds. You knew it was a sign that your time here was coming to an end. There were other responsibilities you had to tend to.

You felt a pang of disappointment, knowing that you would have to leave soon. There was something comforting and intriguing about being in Noa’s presence, something you didn’t want to let go of. Noa watches as you place your instrument down, your body language telling him that your time together is coming to an end.

As you turn to face him, a wave of self-consciousness washes over you. Suddenly, you become very aware of yourself, wondering if you look okay. Noa notices the change in your demeanor. He studies your expression, the way your hands fidget with the frayed edge of your dress.

“I usually come here most mornings. It’s a nice way to start the day.” You state in a fact. It was an open invitation without asking right out.

He nods in acknowledgment, his mind already processing the open invitation. He appreciated your straightforwardness and the fact that you were offering to meet again without beating around the bush. He nods back as he glances at the river, his mind already anticipating seeing you again.

You stand and put your bag over your shoulder. “Goodbye, Noa.” You say softly as you begin to make your way down the rock structure skillfully.

He stands as you prepare to leave, a sense of reluctance washing over him. He didn’t want this moment to end, but he knew you had to go.

"Goodbye," he whispers back, his eyes following you as you carefully make your way down the rocks. Noa watches your every move, his heart already longing for your return.

ch. 1 : halloween night

kwak jiseok (gaon)

ᨳ you and jiseok decide to attend all the christmas festivities pretending to be a couple just for the extra butterflies. it ends on new year’s day, then you’ll go back to being good friends.

next chapter ->

❆ no one would believe me if i said ive been working on this fic idea for five years man

❆ sounds like a hallmark movie but i say we keep making christmas romance stories fun silly and dumb

❆ i’ve never committed to chapter stuff before but surely it goes well since i know where it’s going *nodding*

it's the second best holiday of the year. aligned trees now enter the process of stripping their colorful leaves that now hang lifelessly off the branches. fuzzy boots follows the trail of the fallen leaves, and the harmonizing crunches down the street creates the soft melody of sweet autumn.

pumpkin meadows flourish in popularity. the scent of cinnamon and apples wraps a steam blanket around a pie tent. the air is something you've been craving for months now; it’s given you a crisp feeling that brings you warm comfort.

you’ve been able to attend all the fall festivities this year. your carved pumpkin sits outside your apartment, a singular light flickering your creature to life. you ranked all the pies you’ve tried this month, with apple sitting on its throne untouched. funnily enough, you also apple picked at a local farm. the assortment of your favorite fruit piles inside your fridge, their crystal glow enticing you every single time you look at them.

but all these activities you’ve done alone. your autumn checklist was too ambitious, and midterms shifted your availability to avoid your friends’ invitations. that’s why when the very last day of october arrived, your best friend forced you to make an exception for her. the halloween bash she's hosting is not a cozy one, but you have to do something fun and social before marbles start getting lost.

mingi is your only friend from the university, which you think is imperative when it comes to the reputation of this school. social gatherings is a pledged promise of the students; there are always grand events happening around campus, and the committee never finds it in themselves to lose creativity. in turn the students feel more like community, and the friend groups tend to be large. mingi's house party depicts that principle perfectly. even more, not a single person in here is worried about midterms.

as you look through the sweaty piles of people, you find some familiar faces from your fair share of group projects and school events. the few conversations are brief and soon enough you're stuck alone, waiting for your only friend to tend to you while keeping her house afloat with the large crowd.

"hey, you made it!"

she's one of the fairies from tinker bell - one that you can't seem to remember. nonetheless your lips curve wide after she's found you sulking on her couch.

"what a crazy party! do you know all these people?" you think this is the loudest you've been, trying to talk to her over both the music and her adrenaline.

mingi shrugs, plopping herself next to you as her arm wraps around yours. "are you bored? you should be mingling!"

"i feel a bit too embarrassed."

the two of you look over your body. it's a simple green princess gown that doesn't seem to draw immediate attention. however, if you get it...

"WOAH, you're princess fiona! WOAH."

mingi laughs, a little too hard. you playfully shove her as your ears burn up, "it’s too silly, isn’t it..."

her hand grasps your arm as she drags you into the kitchen. for now it's empty, and the table holds all the hard liquor and fruity drinks you could think of. "just drink a bit! loosen up, have fun~"

there's no time to protest. you're left stranded next to the island that holds all the drinks, many of which are unfamiliar to you. it takes you a minute to grab one, just for you to let go of it and stare at the selection as students filter in and out.

"it's a little overwhelming, right?"

the voice feels soft, yet you hear it clearly over the music. when you turn to your left, the girl who spoke matches her voice perfectly. a pouty smile sitting perfectly underneath her brown doe eyes. her hair is a bright hazel that innocently sits as a single braid, tiny strands of hair peering out of the tucked in look. along with her grin, a faded blush bounces on her cheeks; it seems to be from romand rather than any liquor.

she's the cutest, it brings you to match her smile. "ah, it really is."

your eyes continue to observe the woman; you notice the familiar costume she's wearing. it's a green sleeved dress with little gold embellishments. a laugh quickly breathes out of your lips, and she giggles at your quick notice.

"fiona must've been a popular choice this year, huh?"

she laughs at your remark and replies, "you're pulling it off so much better though." you can tell her intentions are to make you feel like the prettiest princess there, and now your own shade of romand blush colors your cheeks. "i'm mingi's cousin, yeona!"

you gasp, "oh, i've heard about you!" you already find yourself in a bow, greeting her formally. "i'm y/n, a friend of mingi's. it's nice to meet you."

she mirrors you completely, and the air finally feels comfortable for the first time since you've walked into this party. you find yourself sitting there, chatting with the girl as the two of you find plenty of common ground. yeona is a violinist attending a prestigious musical arts university just right around the corner of your school. the students tend to be quiet and elegant, and while yeona doesn't really fit the elegance she is soft-spoken like the rest of her peers. but her aura is comforting, and your energies match like puzzle pieces. for instance, she's an avid watcher of kdramas like yourself. it led the two of you to discuss your harsh disappointments among the catalog, your first target being infamous love alarm.

yeona learns much about you too. you attend a social school simply because it's a common one, and perhaps the easiest one to get into. out of all the majors that were presented to you, the winning choice became natural sciences after a coin flip. you haven't quite figured out where you want to be in ten years, and you're content with taking your time. the only thing you want to do is enjoy your time before life becomes a consuming loop of work.

yeona notes that and studies your personality more. you tend to find yourselves on the slice-of-life dramas, and your taste in books are hopeless romantic core. a pattern begins to illustrate itself.

you both find yourselves lounging around the kitchen for quite a while, your conversations being fueled by admiring the many costumes that flutter into the kitchen every now and then. neither of you take another glance at the drinks beside you, and eventually you agree that it's not a priority to drink heavy. you feel like you've found your other half.

after twenty minutes, something interesting happens. a duo of boys arrive, their loud laughs halting your conversation as your eyes peer out of curiosity. both are wearing a garment that you're unable to piece together for a while. but then it hits you; the bulky, round fabric mimics the crisps of the iconic kid's food.

unlike the other visitors, the pair of boys spot you and yeona and engage in conversation.

"oh - you're both princess fiona!"

he's the shorter of the two. his hair is a bright blonde and his cheeks high and defined. yet the look he shoots you guys is pure astonishment and amusement. he's gripping his friend in excitement, a boy who's also bouncing. this boy has darker locks of luscious hair that tuck right behind his ears. his almond eyes sparkle and he equips a wide smile, all 32 teeth shining brighter than those eyes.

and they are dressed up as, "chicken nuggets?"

their surprise grows, "yes! you're the first person to actually get it."

you and yeona gently glance at each other as the two celebrate their victory which only conducted further hops and laughter. when they're finished, they approach the drinks and stare with their arms crossed and their seriousness suddenly skyrocketed. you feel like you're watching a sitcom, wondering how people can be this bubbly and animated in person. but it's funny.

"okay jooyeon. which one of these is our first target? this decision is incredibly important and will impact how the rest of our night goes..."

"...i've never had any of these before. AH, kool-aid though!"

the blonde wiggles his arms, "i was thinking the same thing."

the duet proceeds to grab the jug of fruit punch, one that's meant for mixing alcohol into but instead is poured sober. they take their swigs and scream in unison when done, like drinking nonalcoholic kool-aid was the biggest thrill of their life.

you can't help but laugh out loud, and it gives yeona the courage to talk to them, "isn't it just plain kool-aid?"

the taller one, who you've concluded is jooyeon, grins as he points at yeona. "it tastes better than vodka!"

you're nodding along, "and beer."

yeona loudly agrees with you; a true hater of beer.

"i think beer is yummy." the odd one out frowns, going in to pour himself another shot of the virgin fruit juice.

jooyeon shoves him, "jiseok's actually just a freak."

"you scream at vegetables."

jooyeon suddenly gets loud, "YOU DON'T GET IT!"

the room laughs comfortably. yeona covering his face and you slap your knees, the air is light.

"i'm yeona, mingi's cousin."

you’d feel awkward not to follow yeona’s introduction, "i'm y/n."

the boys have a kind smile at your introductions, and introduce themselves despite knowing you've already used context clues to put a name to their faces.

"how do you guys know mingi?" yeona asks.

jiseok turns to jooyeon who answers, "we used to be group mates for a writing class and we became casual friends." jooyeon then nudges to his friend, "he's just my plus one."

"in the non-romantic way." jiseok adds.

you mention, "trying to distract us from the couple's outfit, huh?"

his hands fly up defensively, "no no, i promise this makes sense."

jooyeon straightens his posture, holding his friend's shoulder as he presents themselves, "we do this podcast called nugget time. it's a bit popular around campus."

"WOAH, i've heard about it actually." you laugh. "it's like we're meeting celebrities right now..."

jiseok wiggles his eyebrows, "do you want our autograph?"

yeona cuts in, "actually, it's popular around mine too! many of the students think it's too childish and immature, but everyone there is also pretty stuck up." she shines a smile as she gives a thumbs up, "personally, i like it a lot. you guys are doing very well!"

it’s a cliche move, but jooyeon feels his heart lighten. a surprise attack of butterflies invade his stomach until his cheeks burn. his eyes fall softly as they stare at the girl who chose not to follow the stale crowd, and instead express her support for his pride and joy. he's in a daze for a minute, lost in discovering her delightful features. "aha, thank you."

jiseok's a lot more normal when he thanks the girl, but he notices how stiff his friend becomes at the compliment. a small grin compliments his face. he internally puts himself in a tuxedo with the coolest pair of sunglasses as he suggests, "do you guys mind if we hang around here with you?"

the coolest wingman.

you can't help but feel proud of yourself for meeting new people, and getting lucky enough they were a funny and kind bunch. your shoulders have inched behind you, relaxed and no longer tense from earlier. your smile creeps up naturally and responses fly out of your mouth easily. it surprises you when an hour passes of general conversation carried by boiling chemistry and fruit punch.

the house roars, snapping all your attentions to the living room. what probably started off as sober laughs have become drunk wails. aggregation becomes the look of the dance floors as drunk men start to shove one another for who knows why. your ears catch onto the occasional glass shatters and you briefly wince, "ough, it's getting kinda loud in here."

jooyeon tilts his head, "you're right... should we go outside?"

yeona leans in, nodding to express her interest in the offer.

it's a hassle. your newly formed crew attempts to slither past the sea of sweaty students without getting dragged in by any drunk sharks. jiseok locks his hands on top of jooyeon shoulders, creating their lonely conga line of two. they get further than you and yeona, who are caught by a hungry one.

"y/n! yeona! are you leaving already?"

mingi's cheeks are a dangerous color of red. pale lipstick smudges all over the lid of her red solo cup, and beads of sweat twinkle on of her round nose.

you simply nod, sparing her an apologetic smile. you clear up, "we're just heading outside!"

"okay!" she clears the rest of the liquid in her cup in one quick swig. "i'll come too!"

yeona leans in to her ear, "are you sure? this is your party!"

mingi shakes her head as she pushes the two of you until you're all standing outside, breathing fresh air. "it's too hectic in there; i don't wanna deal with it."

jooyeon and jiseok are walking in place as the duo waited for your arrivals. their bright smiles greet the host who looked them up and down a couple of times before shrugging. jooyeon shouted, "nuggets!" 

"OHH...kay?"

you and yeona snicker, and mingi just rolls her eyes at the reactions. after a while you plop yourself on the grass, relief unable to hide itself once you're finally able to hear the silly voices in your head once again. one being, "aghh, i can't believe you had no candy in there mingi! it's like you wanted me dead or something..."

"well!" she lightly laughes, seating herself right beside you as her arms wrap to embrace you lovingly. "i'm sorry."

"could've gone trick-or treating instead..."

"at the age of 23?"

"your problem?"

yeona cuts in, "you're never too old to go trick-or treating!"

you and yeona hold each other's hand in solidarity. the bit is funny to you two, and she developed a weird craving for candy as soon as you mentioned it.

mingi defeatedly sighs, peering her head to watch her neighborhood streets. they're not totally vacant; a handful of children happily scurry around with buckets or full-sized candy brimming to the top. occasionally their innocent eyes would swipe over mingi's house, one that's overly decorated for the occasion but very much not an open source to candy. you would defend this inference.

"there still might be time...should we go?"

jiseok's suggestion sprouted from watching the groups of kids flutter in happiness with their newly-acquired snacks. he also grasped onto the size, not afraid to admit that mingi seemed to live in a wealthier neighborhood. if an opportunity ever showed itself prominently, this was it. he's also a boy who craves these types of spontaneous activities; a group of college kids politely robbing rich people of their candy just to live up to halloween's truest image.

to be honest, you felt the same way. you wanted to feel your heart skip at the sound of candy stacking itself into your bag - one that you don't have. "wait, but how will we carry the candy?" 

-

it's an hour later. chocolate, sour, and sweet all ride up to the tip of your red solo cups. you guys only hold two cups per person, but it remains mingi's brightest idea up until the moment the crew realized this neighborhood was indeed not a judgement free zone.

"this mom just stared me down...do you think she wants me?" yeona piques, a smile cracking through her chapped lips. jooyeon, high off excitement, laughs as his body leans against her momentarily.

you're staring at something else though: jiseok's red solo cup. there's a sour patch topping his stack, beautifully beaming like a shiny cherry. after digging through your own, you feel a childish envy crawl all over you skin. "augh, you got a sour patch..."

jiseok doesn't spare a second, scoring the piece of candy right into your hands. your ounce of adulthood flickers back, and you throw it back to him. "oh no, it's okay!"

it hits you back, "no, have it!"

you laugh, guilt building up. "jiseok, don't worry! i can buy my own."

"im going to glue it to your hand."

you launch it to his shoulder in a rough manner, "enjoy it for me~"

as the bickering lives on, everyone lays down on mingi's lawn. candy sprawls out, like how it would on a kitchen table while your mother sniffs for any dangerous pieces. except it's college students, with the security checkpoint half way down their stomachs.

"mingi...right?"

there's a boy standing over the said girl. her eyes, slightly bloodshot, stare at him as if he's a hallucination. she treats it as one too; not a word passes through her lips. the boy uncomfortably shifts at her silence after a couple seconds. his hand reaches for the back of his nape, cooling the heat of embarrassment as all five pairs of eyes watch over him.

"oh, sorry. i uh...came to this party with one of your friends, but im not sure where she went... i was hoping you'd know?"

"who..?" mingi's host voice appears.

"ari."

"ARI'S HERE?"

the boy sheepishly laughs, "i mean...i hope she is."

mingi doesn't listen to him. instead she's attempting to get up, her dress riding up in all the wrong places. her spilled candies dig into the grass as she accidentally steps on them. she quietly murmurs something that nobody is able to decipher. what's heard is the small exchange she performs with the boy, "oh, and who are you?"

"jungsu. ari's my sister."

"ARI HAS A SISTER?"

"n-no, i'm her BROTHER."

the conversation feathers away as the pair dives into the abyss of the house. it will be the last time the group hears of mingi for the rest of the night.

jooyeon's heart quickens as candy plunges into his stomach. yeona watches him quietly for a while. that's when she points, "after this, you'll be having salad for days."

jiseok huffs, "jooyeon wouldn't go in a ten-foot radius of a piece of lettuce!"

the victim nods, turning to yeona with a sense of pride, "you couldn't pay me enough money to eat a salad. sorry." 

yeona nudges him, "you're just not having the yummy ones. i'll show you the good ones and change your mind! just you wait."

jooyeon doubts so, but he can't help but fall helpless to her commitment. he would try anything if it meant he could be around her more. that's why the veggie hater replies to the threat, "i'm open for that, let's do it!"

jiseok stares at his cup that's now lighter. a bright colored wrapper catches his eye, and he smiles to himself. he fixes his position, now sitting at curb of the road as his legs dangle outside his bulky costume.

"y/n, come!"

you crawl until you’re beside him, knees brought close to your chest as you wait. jiseok rips the wrapper down the side, and offers you access to the sour patch candies. "let's share the bag~"

your mouth widens, "wait really? are you okay with that?"

he nods, trying his best to convey his genuine smile just so you'd know. it's enough to get you thanking him over and over again, just until the sour hits your tongue and satisfies that specific craving.

jiseok rolls his eyes, "it's more fun to share stuff, right?"

"it's nice…thank you~"

it's a childish scene, one that brings soft smiles to both of your faces. because it's comfortable, familiar. fun.

Systech - overdrive

"Have you ever played a pedal that stuck with you forever, even though you knew in your heart it was totally weird, and nobody famous ever used it? For me, yeah, tons of them. But if I had to pick one that best fit these criteria, this one would be it. This is the Systech Overdrive. Before we dive in, let’s talk a little about where it was made.

There was a time when, of all places, Kalamazoo Michigan was an epicenter for musically related things. Apart from being a city referenced by Looney Tunes and the hometown of Glen Miller’s gal, Kalamazoo had the Sound Factory, which was a collective of sorts that featured guitar luthiery, a recording studio and electronic gear manufacturing. The facility sat front and center on Kalamazoo Avenue, smack dab in the middle of the city, and attracted visitors from all over.

Of course, if it was some random outpost of nobodies, the name wouldn’t carry any weight. However, the Sound Factory was shored up by three relatively heavy hitters of the early ‘70s. One such was Greg Hochman, Keith Emerson’s Moog technician. He was joined by Bryce Roberson, otherwise known as Uncle Dirty of Chess Records fame and a relatively unknown person named Charlie Wicks. If you’ve been reading this column for a while, you’ll recognize him as the man behind ProCo—the Ratfather.

Together, these three developed Systech, which itself was short for “Systems & Technology in Music, Inc.” That mouthful of a company was responsible for the Harmonic Energizer, a little-known yet highly influential effect that provided a deep filtered sound in addition to some crunchy drive and sharp resonant peaks. You might know it as one of Frank Zappa’s signature pieces. And while this Overdrive effect wasn’t that, it was derived from the Harmonic Energizer and shares a handful of characteristics.

Basically, if dialed in just the right way, the Harmonic Energizer will make short work of an entire speaker cabinet and anyone in the audience. This is because it was designed to provide a staggering gain of 55dB, enough to cause serious damage to your gear or hearing. The Overdrive was created to get some of those tones at non speaker-shredding levels.

If you’re thinking this unit is some kind of proto-Tube Screamer, think again. Because this was the early ‘70s, nobody had really decided exactly what “overdrive” meant. And though Maestro (coincidentally, also in Kalamazoo) had created one of almost every effect under the sun, pedal fever wasn’t quite here just yet, so Systech was essentially “winging it.” With that said, the Overdrive is actually a pretty aggressive fuzz sound. And to that end, the fuzz circuit is pretty unique. The entire affair contains two transistors—one a JFET input buffer—and one dual op-amp with a handful of other components. Even the topology is relatively simple, but the simplicity ends with the schematic.

The EQ control works unlike pretty much any EQ control you’ve ever fiddled with; as much an EQ as the whole unit is an overdrive. Instead of a simple tonal adjustment, the EQ control is actually an active bandpass filter, in the same family as a wah circuit. With a simple twist of a knob, you can adjust this filter from 122Hz to 900Hz. As you might imagine, the EQ control sounds relatively cocked-wah-esque, but the sound is much more aggressive than any wah on the market before or since. The reason has to do with the Q factor, essentially a bandwidth control. A wah’s Q is set by its 33K resistor and is much wider than that of the Overdrive, so the tone is a little more rounded. While a wah’s filter is a rubber mallet, the Systech Overdrive’s is a tack hammer. While the sound is curious, the thing really comes to life when you crank the EQ control, as it gives you a nice punch in the mids. You lose a little definition when you get to the bottom third, but man is it fun to play with.

“Distortion” is just what it sounds like, but curiously enough, “Gain” is about as close to a volume knob as you’re going to get. Much like Distortion, if you turn it all the way down it kills the entire signal, but it sits behind a final gain stage. If you have the guts to crank both Distortion and Gain, you’re richly rewarded with gobs of gooey sustain, but the flipside is that your amp is likely screaming “uncle.” Worth it? Your call. I say go for it.

Many people say Zappa used a Systech Overdrive, but alas, he did not. However, when you play it, you can definitely see the similarities between this unit and the fabled Harmonic Energizer. But as far as I’m concerned, it’s close enough for rock and roll."
