The repeater on the left picks up the weak current reaching the block and
amplifies it back to strong. Without this, the block just emits a weak current insufficient to
light the wire on the far left. The repeater on the right turns the block into a strong emitter,
lighting up both redstone trails.
A repeater's current always flows in the direction of the single fixed light on the repeater.

direction. Place the repeater facing in the direction you want the current to flow and it will
align correctly.
Right-click the repeater to add a delay to the circuit. The default is 0.1 seconds, increasing

Repeaters are also useful for running current in tight spaces because they can be placed
next to each other without forming the lattice effect that placed wire develops. Place them
in series, as shown in
Figure 9.7
