Did You Know? Switch Mode Rectifiers, Calculating Float Voltage & C-Rates
Switch Mode Rectifiers The most common technology in use today for stationary battery charging is the Switch Mode Rectifier (SMR). They offer a higher efficiency and are smaller and lighter than the legacy Ferro Resonant and Silicone Controlled Rectifier (SCR) types. More importantly, they are easily field-swappable. Did you know that the SMR was first invented 110 years ago and was a ...

Application of Solar Street Lights: A Wealth of Versatility in Modern Technology
We're sure you're familiar with solar energy. It's been used over the past several decades to power plenty of apparatus--calculators, watches, battery chargers, plenty of stuff. But what you may not realize is solar energy is being used in some of the most mundane (but necessary) technologies that we don't even realize are around until they're gone. Solar energy is fantastic in the application of ...

Adapting TPV for Use in a Standard Home Heating Furnace
Abstract, A novel TPV configuration will be presented that can fit into a standard home furnace cabinet. This system incorporates an externally faceted glass cylinder with a dichroic filter deposited on its outer surface and a GaSb IR cell array bonded to the outer surface on top of the filter. This cylindrical array is then surrounded with an envelope containing a low boiling point liquid for ...

Modified Sine Wave Inverters vs Pure Sine Wave Inverters
Most everyday appliances and commercial tools run on AC power. This is fine if you’re connecting the device to a wall outlet that provides AC power. But what if you want to use power from a DC source, like a solar-powered generator or a car battery? In such cases, individuals need to use an inverter – a device that converts DC power to AC power. There are several types of inverters ...
