Electric current comes in many forms: current in a wire, flow of ions between the plates of a battery and between plates during electrolysis, as arcs, sparks, and so on. However, here on Hackaday we ...

How a Virginia Tech research team constructed its novel thermal diode. Test results of the thermal diode. Electrical engineers are obviously very familiar and comfortable with the basic diode, a ...

• The inductance in a stepper-motor phase winding limits how fast current rises when power is applied. • Series-resistor current limiting needs higher voltages for faster step rates, but higher ...

This project was developed in Python and put into an Arcpy Tool Box to be used with Arc GIS Pro Desktop as a user based visual enhancements for a Flow Direction Raster (FDIR). FDIRs are derived from ...

The battery as we know it today was an invention of Italian chemist and physicist Alessandro Volta. He witnessed electricity splitting water into its constituent elements of oxygen and hydrogen and ...
