The secret sauce is in component selection and tuning. Opengeiger uses the BPW34 diode because it is relatively common and has a large surface area, but also because it has a very low capacitance ...

The most efficient packaging scheme is typically eight diodes or more in a dual inline package (DIP). Diode arrays have been used for many years in both digital and linear circuits. Diode arrays are ...

Inline six-cylinder engines are quite popular among performance vehicles for a few reasons: they're easier to balance, and ...

A semiconductor diode is a non-linear device whose most outstanding feature is the fact that, basically, current is only allowed to flow in one direction. The diode is built by joining together two ...

One is laid bare by [WizardTim], as he cross-sections a 20KV high-voltage diode. A conventional low-voltage silicon diode has a forward voltage drop of about 0.7V and a relatively low maximum ...

This test looks at inflators powered by a 12V socket. They may be a touch bulkier and more fiddly to use (with the cable dragging around the car) than cordless versions, but they’re generally ...

Researchers at Harvard University recently observed an antiferromagnetic diode effect in even-layered MnBi 2 Te 4, an antiferromagnetic material characterized by a centrosymmetric crystal that ...

Most modern electronic devices consist of several key components: transistors, capacitors, resistors, inductors and diodes. Often, they are supplemented by additional components like crystals and ...

In recent updates to Pages, the inline text prediction feature was added. It joins a host of other Auto-Correction options that can make Pages just a little more convenient to use. The first step ...

We tested six to see which is best for your brew. We plugged the kettles into a 12V socket and filled them with 300ml of tap water, measured at 18.5 degrees Celsius. We then timed how long it took ...
