Power inverters are fundamental devices for power electronics that convert DC (Direct Current) into AC (Alternating Current). There are many types of power inverters specific for use in residential, commercial, and industrial systems. It is important to understand the types of power inverters in power electronics to make the appropriate decision about the type of power inverter you would like…
In electronics, Amplifier is the most commonly used circuit device with huge application possibilities. In Audio related electronics pre-amplifier and power amplifiers are two different types of amplifier systems which are used for sound amplification related purposes. But, other than this application-specific purpose, there are huge differences in various types of…
On 7th January 2013, a Boeing 787 flight was parked for maintenance, during that a mechanic noticed flames and smoke coming from the Auxiliary power unit (Lithium battery Pack) of the flight, which is used to power the electronic flight systems. Efforts were taken to put the fire off, but 10 days later before this issue could be resolved, on 16th January another battery…
Resistors are current limiting devices with are used abundantly in electronics circuits and products. It is a passive component which provides resistance when current flow through it. There are many different types of resistors. Resistance is measured in Ohm with a sign of Ω.
What are Pull-up and Pull-Down…
The speed, mileage, torque and all such vital parameters of an electric car solely depends on the specification of the motor and the battery pack used in the car. While using a powerful motor is no big deal, the problem lies with designing a Battery Pack that could source enough current for the motor for long time without degrading its lifespan. To cope up with the voltage…
Have you ever wonder that how an ANPR (Automatic Number Plate Recognition) system works? Let me tell you the concept behind it, the camera of the ANPR system captures image of vehicle license plate and then the image is processed through multiple number of algorithms to provide an alpha numeric conversion of the image into a text format. ANPR system is used at many places…
Yes, you read it right!! The cars of future could actually run only with water and aluminum. In fact the Proof of concept is already tested and is being optimized as you read this interview. Log9 is a nanotechnology start-up by two IITians Mr. Akshay Singal and Mr.Kartik Hajela, the company is currently building a battery called Metal-Air battery which is type of fuel cell…
In one of our recent articles, we shared solutions to some of the errors most beginners will encounter while working with the Arduino. Most of those errors, as simple as they look, could cost a beginner, several debug hours trying to fix them. So as a follow-up, today, I will be sharing solutions to the top 10 issues a beginner could encounter while working with the…
A report by Gartner in 2017 predicted that by 2020, the number of connected “things” in the Internet would be over 20.4 billion. But with the rate at which IoT solutions are currently being deployed around the world by businesses who are discovering how it could help optimize their processes, and by entrepreneurs who are disrupting existing markets and carving out new ones…
According to a forecast by International Energy Agency, the use of Electric Vehicles will grow from 3 million to 125 million by the year 2030. That is almost 41 times of what it is today, with the increasing demand of fossil fuel and problems with pollution it seems most likely to happen. Owing to that, all major IC Engine Car manufacturers like Ford and GM are slowly…
Imagine pointing your camera to some object and the camera tells you the name of that object, yes, Google Lens in Android smart phones is doing the same thing using Image Processing. This gives computer a vision to detect and recognize the things and take actions accordingly. Image processing has lot of applications like Face detection & recognition, thumb impression,…
Burgeoning to become the Tesla of consumer appliances, Atomberg Technologies is an IITian start-up founded by Manoj Meena and Sibabrata Das in the year 2012. Currently, they design and manufacture India’s Most Energy Efficient Fans commercially known as the Gorilla Fans. These Fans are rated only for 28W compared to the ordinary fans which would stand between 75W to 80W,…
