What could we do with memristors?

[Taylor]

Along the lines of my tunnel diode thread, I'm truly interested in what could be done with memristors. Unlike tunnel diodes, however, memristors are not available to DIYers yet, and possibly not available to anybody outside of a lab. So all we can do right now is think about it and simulate it.


Falstad's simulator includes a model of the memristor. I'm not sure what fun might be had with such a thing, but I'm hoping you'll think of something cool. Any thoughts?

hmm. 
if a memristor is a voltage varied by current or a current varied by voltage, then the inverse high voltage=low current seems like an interseting operator. loud=low gain, quiet=high gain is  straight compression...

hmmmmmmm   
For some memristors, applied current or voltage will cause a great change in resistance.

I'm thinking inverse parallel pair.....

BURST BOX!!!

You can pulse a voltage source at different frequencies to develop a proportional waveform. If you used this to charge a capacitor, maybe you could develop a simplified sawtooth generator.
