Electricity Grid 2.0
What if we could start again In the days when DC converters didn’t exist, it made sense to base our electrical distribution system on transformers and AC voltage level shifting. It still makes sense to distribute at high voltage where resistive losses in the wires are a smaller issue than they are at lower voltages.…

Solar Cell Efficiency
Solar Cells The primary Solar Cell material is silicon. It converts photons into electricity and the more efficient panels have a multi-layered construction. But it isn’t only the construction that affects the efficiency. There are other factors such as: Angle of Incidence of the incoming light Photon Density in the silicon reflections shading These can…

LED Lighting To Finally Become Cost Effective
LED Lighting Ten years ago, LED Lighting was set to revolutionise the general illumination market. LEDs, also known as Light Emitting Diodes, had already taken over are the role as indicator panel illuminators and user interfaces on industrial, commercial and consumer products. All the trend lines indicated that they would eclipse the incandescent light globe…

PCB Design could be changed forever
Carbon Nanotubes replace Solder Pads Recent breakthroughs in nanotechnology could change the way Printed Circuit Boards, PCBs, are made and this could start happening soon. If you either the Design PCBs or Manufacture PCBs then you will want to keep up with this new technology that uses Nanotape PCB Pads. Here is a picture…
