The size of a capacitor affects how much charge it can store (its capacitance), its voltage rating, and its physical ...

How do those defibrillators you see on TV actually work? Surprise! Physics can explain! So, how do those defibrillators you see on TV actually work? Surprise! Physics can explain! Okay buckle up, ...

Capacitors perform several functions in SMPS designs, such as energy storage, filtering, compensation, and soft-start programming. As with all real devices, designers must be aware of capacitor ...

The possibility of creating a frequency-tunable function generator with rectangular and triangular pulses of constant amplitude and electronic synchronous control of equivalent capacitances in the ...

Storage elements that buffer energy of the most diverse forms, and make it available for subsequent conversion processes, are significant components in modern power supplies and frequency converters.

It was a fateful day for Doc Brown in 1955 when he fell off his toilet, hit his head on his sink, and woke up with the image of the flux capacitor burned into his brain. That was the moment that ...

This solar clock was built using a lot of salvaged parts. We find it interesting that [Nereus] combined a ring of storage capacitors with a power cell (translated) to create a hybrid energy storage ...
