How to Select the Best Audio Amplifier for Your Design

Introduction An audio amplifier increases the amplitude of a small signal to a useful level, all the while maintaining the smaller signal’s detail. This is known as linearity. The greater the amplifier linearity, the more the output signal is a true representation of the input. With the ever-changing performance requirements for amplifiers in the audio …

Arduino Controlled Yellow Plane

Currently revising the design to reduce weight and have bigger wing chord base on advise from DIY drones with slightly shorter wings.  AUW 1521 Grams Wing loading 14.83 oz/ft²  power to weight 270 Watts per Kg should perform much better than Yellow plane one. I’m changing from the D4023-850 Out Runner Motor to a higher kv TurnigyL3010C-1300kv Tests show significant improvement in static thrust …

Tune In, Charge Up: RF Energy Harvesting Shows its Potential

In today’s wireless, connected world, ambient Radio Frequency (RF) energy is everywhere. Technically, this free-flowing energy can be captured, converted and stored for use in other applications. In fact, it is already in use in a number of ultra-low-power, battery-free applications, such as RFID tags, contactless smart cards, and wireless sensor networks. As a result …
