How to Make a Smart Clock

“I’ve always been dreaming of making a desktop clock which without complex functions, just smaller and can display time. Here is what I think: Features: Small and convenient; Inertial conduction, sensing the placement of clock; Charging Function. My clock …

Matteo Bucci: Using nanotech to produce more megawatts

“What if the 450 nuclear power plants currently operating around the world could increase their energy output by 10 percent? It would represent a significant increase in carbon-free power production and the equivalent of billions of dollars in plant operation …

MIT researchers develop new way to clear pollutants from water

“When it comes to removing very dilute concentrations of pollutants from water, existing separation methods tend to be energy- and chemical-intensive. Now, a new method developed at MIT could provide a selective alternative for removing even extremely low levels of …

Solar Roof

“Tesla’s mission is to accelerate the world’s transition to a sustainable energy future by creating products that are so compelling, there is no alternative. Solar energy has always been part of our master plan, and we recognized the …

Teaching robots to teach other robots

“Most robots are programmed using one of two methods: learning from demonstration, in which they watch a task being done and then replicate it, or via motion-planning techniques such as optimization or sampling, which require a programmer to explicitly specify …

Telepresence Robot: Basic Platform (Part 1)

“A telepresence robot is a type of robot that can be controlled remotely over the internet and function as a surrogate for someone somewhere else. For instance, if you are in New York, but want to physically interact with a …

400V – 5A Power Supply For Brushless Motor Drivers

“Although the power supply design is specific to the Brushless Servo Drivers mainly for IPM Modules, the concepts and circuit design may be used for any power supply requires high voltage output up to 400V DC and 5 Amps. The …
