Assembly crews at ITER complete a 30-hour crane operation to install the sixth 1,400-tonne tokamak sector module.

The Joule Thief Circuit is a simple and clever electronic design that can power an LED using a nearly dead battery. The project demonstrates how basic components like a transistor, a toroidal coil, ...

Magnetic design is only one of the steps when designing a full converter, so only a limited amount of time and effort can be put into it. In medium-power converters (50–200 kW), magnetics can account ...

According to relativity theory, a black hole is a distinct region in spacetime; according to astronomical observations, it is a celestial body transforming matter into high-energy jets. We propose ...

This Python module calculates plasma equilibria for tokamak fusion experiments, by solving the Grad-Shafranov equation with free boundaries. Given a set of coils, plasma profiles and shape, FreeGS ...

A current transformer is a type of instrumental transformer specially designed to transform alternating current in its secondary winding, and the amount of current produced is directly proportional to ...

In Part 1, we covered the bandwidth limitations of passive probes and why they can't be used in today's switching power supply designs. High-frequency probes are expensive and often out of reach to ...

There are several ways to convert an AC voltage at a wall receptacle into the DC voltage required by a microcontroller. Traditionally, this has been done with a transformer and rectifier. However, in ...
