Boris Klyuchnikov, Konstantin Kalayev Vishay Tantalum Capacitors - Wide Range and High Quality One of the heroes of ancient Greek mythology, the favorite of the gods, King Tantalus, once became proud, and for this he was punished by the gods. His punishment was that he was doomed to eternally experience the pangs of hunger and thirst. At the same time, he stood up to his throat in water, and branches with various fruits hung above him. But as soon as he bends down to the water to get drunk, it retreats, only stretches out his hands to the branches - they rise up. The expression "tantalum torment" has become synonymous with suffering because of the inability to achieve what you want, although at first glance it is quite achievable ... | 26 |
