Capacitors are tiny components found in almost every electronic device, but most people have no idea what they do. This video ...

Speaking of misbehaving power toggles, a few weeks back (as I’m writing this in mid-December), the kitchen wall switch that ...

Variable capacitors may be useful, but the air gap that provides their capacitance is their greatest weakness. Rather than deal with the poor dielectric properties of air, some high-end variable ...

What causes engine vibration, and are any of these issues something you can handle on your own? Let's take a look at nine ...

One of the perennial challenges of building robots is minimizing the size and weight of drive systems while preserving power.

Abstract: This article provides a systematic stator winding design scheme that can effectively improve the operational efficiency of commercial single-phase capacitor-run induction motors (IMs).

Mwale, L. and Nhlapo, B. (2026) High Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) Transmission Technology and DC Grids a Comprehensive ...

Sleep is the balm that soothes and restores after a long day. Sleep is largely driven by the body’s internal clock, which takes cues from external elements such as sunlight and temperature. The body’s ...

Abstract: The conventional finite-control-set model-predictive control (FCS-MPC) suffers from poor robustness against model mismatches. This article presents an improved FCS-MPC with a reconstructed ...
