Magnetic circuits analysis
In this post, are shown the necessary concepts to make analysis of magnetic circuits, which is very similar to that of electric circuits.
Step voltage: what is it?
How a lighting can kill many animals at the same time? The answer is step voltage and the explanation of this phenomena is the post’s subject.
Charge controller: how it works?
I received a doubt about the charge controller for solar power generation. This component is very important for off-grid systems.
Organic solar panels
Organic solar panels are photovoltaic panels of third generation. They can greatly increase the competitiveness of solar energy.
Van de Graaff generator: how it works?
The Van de Graaff generator was invented in 1929, by the American engineer Robert Jemison Van de Graaff and can produce millions of volts.
Other jet engines
In addition to the turbofan, exist other jet engines. In this post it’s shown the operation and applications on aviation of turbojet, turboprop, and turboshaft.
Turbofan jet engine: how it works?
This post’s subject is the turbofan jet engine. It’s used in every commercial airplane due to high thrust and for being the most efficient and silent type.
Thomson effect: what is it?
This post is the second part about thermoelectricity. Thomson effect is a reversible thermoelectric phenomenon and related to Seebeck and Peltier effects.
Transmitting wireless electrical power
Imagine recharge electronic devices without plugging in. The technology to transmit wireless electrical power already exists and it’s this post’s subject.
