For the cautious, a good piece of advice is to always wait to buy a new product until after the first model year, whether its cars or consumer electronics or any other major purchase. This gives the ...

Charge pump circuits represent a pivotal technology in modern power management systems, utilising capacitors switched at high frequencies to convert a low input voltage into a higher, regulated output ...

A recent research project using a capacitive sensor tomeasure water levels comprises two PCB (printed-circuit-board) plates placed one in front of the other at a controlleddistance. Every plate ...

Before Lunar New Year, I had ordered two 3000 F, 2.7 V supercapacitors from China for about $4 each. I don’t actually remember why, but they arrived (unexpectedly) just before the holiday.

Supercaps have advantages; however, when faced with charging energy storage devices in series, the end product designer may be faced with such problems as cell balancing, cell overvoltage damage while ...

Capacitors are tiny components that store and release electrical energy in a split second. This video explains how they work, ...

As engineering innovations continue to advance ultracapacitors, their enhanced performance capabilities are expected to hasten the convergence of batteries and ultracapacitors—strengthening the ...

Your phone died. Again. In these scenarios, who among us has not dreamed the dream of a future where our devices charge instantly and last forever. As capacitors—or even more exciting, ultracapacitors ...
