The transformation of the power landscape involves more than just generation. The distribution of electricity is being changed as well, with technology designed to make electrical systems safer, more reliable, and more efficient. Atom Power, which last ...

Discover how to build a simple wireless power transfer system at home using readily available components like enameled copper wire, an LED, a 2N2222A transistor, and a 9V battery. This step-by-step DIY electronics project explains the process of winding coils,

Racking in or out a power circuit breaker is simple, right? Although this task sounds pretty straightforward in theory, that’s not always the case. In fact, during years of field work related to external electrical safety audits or while completing ...

Accidentally spilling a cup of coffee over a power strip will, at best, probably cause the connected equipment to stop working. On the other hand, such water-related electrical mishaps could lead to serious injury or even be fatal for the user. Wet ...

Power factor correction uses parallel connected capacitors to oppose the effects of inductive elements and reduce the phase shift between the voltage and current. Power factor correction is a technique that uses capacitors to reduce the reactive power ...

If the power source is a listed Class 2 transformer or listed Class 2 power supply — or it’s in listed equipment marked to identify the Class 2 power source — you’ve got a Class 2 circuit between the power source and the connected Class 2 equipment ...

Iron-on patches can repair clothing or add personal flair to backpacks and hats. And now they could power wearable tech, too. Researchers reporting in ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces have combined liquid metal and a heat-activated adhesive to create an electrically conductive patch that bonds to fabric when heated with a hot iron.
