The popular Xenon photoflash bulb is typically driven by a battery-powered high-voltge source. A flyback converter based on peak current limiting is the best option for this circuit in portable ...

Ohmic resistors are generally employed to limit the current when charging capacitors. This, however, is accompanied by technical risks. If, for example, the capacitor short circuits or the relay has a ...

Battery technology is the talk of the town right now, as it’s the main bottleneck holding up progress on many facets of renewable energy. There are other technologies available for energy storage, ...

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.

Experts believe their dream of clean energy storage is a step closer after they unveiled their ground-breaking super-capacitor technology that is able to store and deliver electricity at high power ...

Safety capacitors, also known as interference suppression capacitors, are permanent fixtures in power packs and power supplies. They are used in every household with the broad use of switching power ...
