A year after a near-total blackout, Chinese engineers have developed the world's most powerful smart DC transformer, designed to mitigate renewable energy shocks.

Chinese engineers’ powerful breakthrough could solve risks of renewable energy shock after low wind swing almost shut down the national grid.

Rick Nebel used to run the IEC fusion project at EMC2. EMC2 fusion is a promising approach to commercial nuclear fusion. Richard Nebel was interviewed in May, 2009 by Nextbigfuture on EMC2 fusion.

Maybe I'm describing a unicorn device here but I have a bunch of devices that run off DC-in of various voltages, and take a barrel jack connector for power. They all have their own wall warts but I've ...

Seemingly untouched by the telecom downturn's fallout, planar magnetics continues to proliferate in general-purpose dc/dc converter designs for high-frequency, high-efficiency applications. But planar ...

Transformers have been the backbone of power grids for over a century, but today’s demands for renewable energy, electric vehicles, and smarter grids are exposing their limits. Enter solid-state ...

I just got the latest Hifi News magazine and, as usual, the same ridiculously expensive mains cables etc are being pimped. I usually just skim over that crap, after admiring how pretty it is, but this ...

In a thermally enhanced, 16-lead TSSOP-16E, the LT3439 1A, isolated push-pull dc/dc transformer handles inputs from 2.8V to 17.5V to drive an external center tapped transformer. Actual output voltage ...

WASHINGTON (DC News Now) — A transformer caught on fire at a Pepco Plant on Wednesday afternoon in Northeast D.C., according to the DC Fire and EMS Department. Road closures for 2025 DC Half Marathon ...

Oftentimes the biggest obstacle indesigning an isolated dc/dc converteris the transformer design, a prospectthat sometimes discourages designersfrom undertaking an otherwisestraightforward design task ...
