Mini Flyer Drone Use No Battery
Most mini flyer drones for consumers can fly for 10 minutes to 30 minutes, and to extend the cruising range, equipping the battery with a larger capacity seems the only one way. However, doing so will actually increase the load of the drone, and the effect on extending the flight time is not obvious. In order to solve this problem, a researcher has developed a new type of drone technology that ...

Coulombic Efficiency Demystified
Let’s say you have a 1-liter bottle of water and you pour all of its contents into another empty 1-liter bottle and then back to the original bottle. A few drops of water spill as you do so. The loss is hardly noticeable - the drops may account for only 1% of the total, so you still have 99% of the water that you started with. This example essentially illustrates Coulombic efficiency - the ...
