Making a power inverter circuit rated above 2000 VA is always difficult, mainly because of the involved transformer dimension which becomes quite huge, unmanageable and difficult to configure correctly. Introduction Power inverters in the range of KVA, requires huge current transferring capabilities for implementing the required operations as per the desired specs of the unit. Transformer being the main power […]

How Peltier Device Works We are all familiar with a Peltier device and know how it functions. A Peltier device is a 2-wire semiconductor device having two surfaces that […]
Simple Faraday Flashlight – Circuit Diagram and Working
In this article I will show how to construct a Faraday flashlight circuit using only a coil/magnet assembly which requires no battery. It’s not free energy, but it converts oscillatory motion to electricity, which can power the flashlight for a couple of minutes. This flashlight will be useful in emergency situations where no access to […]
