System Uses EM Waves to Deliver Wireless Power through the Air
At the recent TED Global Conference in Oxford, UK, a US-based technology firm, WiTricity, demonstrated a system that delivers electricity through the air to power laptops, cell phones, and other electrical devices. This new system is based on the work of Professor Marin Soljacic, a physicist at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. The concept of sending power wirelessly … [Read more...]
Health Risks of CFLs
In the most recent issue of its It’s Your Health newsletter, Health Canada examines questions about the safety of compact fluorescent lightbulbs (CFLs). In regard to fears regarding electromagnetic fields, the agency reports that at a distance of 30 centimeters from the lamp, EM exposure is well below accepted limits. The two areas of concern are the ultra-violet light … [Read more...]
Input Power – It’s More Than Just a Line Cord
The power distribution and control function has matured into a full-fledged design discipline. Roger Edelson Edelson Associates, Los Angeles, CA, USA Power distribution and control (and the associated cable management function), while not a sexy topic, has grown into a recognizable, and important, subset of industrial equipment design. Power distribution and control … [Read more...]
