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.

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 ...

Over the last 40 years, a series of misconceptions regarding mica capacitor applications has led novice users to consistently over-derate wound or rolled mica/epoxy dielectric capacitors. The mined ...

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 ...

The top image shows the construction of the ZnS/CuS anode and carbon fiber cathode used in the experiment. The bottom image illustrates the performance of the ZnS/CuS anode/cathode construction ...

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 ...
