    LG 29inches ultrawide, not enough power?

    I bought recently a brand new LG 29UM58 IPS 29 inches ultrawide from amazon. When I recieved it, I notice that came with a 110v power adapter so I bought a 7 bucks converter 220v to 110... the monitor started, and shows gray screen saying "No input connected" when I connected the HDMI cable, the...

    Heated 35x50 mm surface.

    Hi there, I'm trying to create an electric heater for an insect repellent mat. The only constraint is that I must use a 18650 battery. The mats are about 35x50 mm and they need to be heated at about 130F. In the chat, Mike_2545 suggested a power resistor like this one and also pointed...

    Would a high voltage low current generator be more efficient?

    Generators have to deal with counter torque. The more electrical load placed on the generator, the greater the counter torque. Since the counter torque is a function of load current, if one designed a generator to be low current/high voltage, and in conjunction used a transformer to then convert...

    Wind Generators- pros & cons

    ~40 - 45 F for many hundreds of feet down and the well drillers here are greedy as all get out. The wind tears all but the most over built wind generators to bits here. I've played with the AE stuff all my life and when it comes to the energy levels needed for winter heating the numbers for...

    12v rail for work bench needs battery what kind of controller I need?

    Basically to power various lights and e4c im setting up something similar to a 12v outlet around my workbench, I also want to power a 24v fridge. Problem is that the 6-8A Spike when it first turns on is too much even though the psu is 15A and I've gotten it to 13A ok. I'll have a battery hooked...

    Help Needed! Rectifier Circuit

    Hi, I am currently working on a passive rectifier circuit for an implantable device. I was wondering if anyone could tell me the equivalent impedence/resistance before the diodes in the circuit i.e. nodes x, y in the attached image. Is there an expression that can be stated for all rectifiers...

    Power regulator design

    I'm working on a 24VAC -> 5VDC circuit. I'm currently using a transformer to convert 120VAC into 24VAC by using a typical sprinkler transformer (it's rated for ~750mA). I've build the simple circuit to convert AC -> DC by using an electrolytic capacitor rated (100uF/50V) and a 1N4007 diode...
