Once upon a time I was a real mad scientist. I was into non-conventional propulsion with the idea of somehow interacting with the quantum vacuum fluctuations, the zero point energy field. I was into ...

Farad (F) is the unit of capacitance which was named after the British physicist Michael Faraday. This is a measure of a capacitor’s ability to store charge where large capacitance means more charge ...

One of the most common parts to fail on a single-phase HVAC system is a run capacitor, so much so that we sometimes refer to junior techs as “capacitor changers.” While capacitors may be easy to ...

Back in 2006 I wrote about how my friend Alan Martin over at Texas Instruments had a saying: “It’s always a capacitor.” This was based on his observance that there is a lot of test equipment that goes ...

A next-generation capacitor family is setting a new bar for high-current DC link designs, pushing continuous operation to 105 °C without derating and supporting denser, higher-efficiency power ...

In electrical and electronic engineering, capacitors are fundamental components. They appear across all manner of applications, including power supplies, analogue filters, timing circuits, and energy ...

One of the last remaining unshrinkable obstacles blocking the progress of fully integrated, wearable technology is the clunky component that absorbs and disburses stray electricity and converts ...

Kelly has over 10 years of experience writing about home design and improvement for many prominent publications. She also spent several years working at a tech startup for an interior design game ...

Single-phase motors are common in many industries and can be found in blowers, pumps, fans, lathes, and numerous other types of equipment. Single-phase motor failures or malfunctions can often be ...

The electric vehicle industry's focus on battery capacity has overlooked the critical and volatile supply chain for passive ...
