Metaphorically, the snowball effect is a process that starts from the initial state with little significance and builds itself, becomes larger (more serious, more serious), and also potentially dangerous or catastrophic (vicious circle) , although it may be useful otherwise (virtuous circle). It is a cliché in modern cartoons and plays and is also used in psychology.
A common analogy is with the rolling of snowballs on the snow-covered slopes of the hill. When rolling the ball will take more snow, gain more mass and surface area, and take more snow and momentum as it rolls.
In aerospace techniques, it is used to describe multiplication effects in original weight savings. The weight loss of aircraft will require less lift, which means the wings can be smaller. Therefore less thrust is required and the engine is therefore smaller, resulting in greater weight savings than the original reduction. This iteration can be repeated several times, although weight loss gives diminished results.
The startup process of the electronic oscillator feedback, when power to the circuit is activated, is a technical application of the snowball effect. The electronic noise is amplified by the oscillator circuit and returned to the filtered input to contain mainly the desired frequency (desired), gradually increasing in each cycle, until steady-state oscillation is established, when the circuit parameters satisfy the Barkhausen stability criteria.
