The presented voltage converter circuit for a laptop or any other device allows you to get a stable voltage of 16-19 volts at the output, a load current of up to 4 amperes. This allows you to connect a converter instead of a mains adapter.

As an energy source, it is supposed to use Li-Ion or Li-Pol batteries with a capacity of 6-12 ampere hours (8 pieces connected in series). Of course, it is possible to use a different type of battery, with a nominal voltage of 24-29 volts, but this will significantly increase the dimensions of the device.

It should be taken into account that when using the device, it is necessary to take care of the battery protection circuit from deep discharge and the battery status indication circuit. Coil inductance 100-160 mkGn (52 kHz 5A). Transistor Q2 needs to be mounted on a heatsink.

Adjustment of the maximum current is carried out by potentiometer R5, adjustment of the output voltage by potentiometer R13.

Machine for thinning flowers in gardens 02.05.2024

In modern agriculture, technological progress is developing aimed at increasing the efficiency of plant care processes. The innovative Florix flower thinning machine was presented in Italy, designed to optimize the harvesting stage. This tool is equipped with mobile arms, allowing it to be easily adapted to the needs of the garden. The operator can adjust the speed of the thin wires by controlling them from the tractor cab using a joystick. This approach significantly increases the efficiency of the flower thinning process, providing the possibility of individual adjustment to the specific conditions of the garden, as well as the variety and type of fruit grown in it. After testing the Florix machine for two years on various types of fruit, the results were very encouraging. Farmers such as Filiberto Montanari, who has used a Florix machine for several years, have reported a significant reduction in the time and labor required to thin flowers. ... >>

Advanced Infrared Microscope 02.05.2024

Microscopes play an important role in scientific research, allowing scientists to delve into structures and processes invisible to the eye. However, various microscopy methods have their limitations, and among them was the limitation of resolution when using the infrared range. But the latest achievements of Japanese researchers from the University of Tokyo open up new prospects for studying the microworld. Scientists from the University of Tokyo have unveiled a new microscope that will revolutionize the capabilities of infrared microscopy. This advanced instrument allows you to see the internal structures of living bacteria with amazing clarity on the nanometer scale. Typically, mid-infrared microscopes are limited by low resolution, but the latest development from Japanese researchers overcomes these limitations. According to scientists, the developed microscope allows creating images with a resolution of up to 120 nanometers, which is 30 times higher than the resolution of traditional microscopes. ... >>

Air trap for insects 01.05.2024

Agriculture is one of the key sectors of the economy, and pest control is an integral part of this process. A team of scientists from the Indian Council of Agricultural Research-Central Potato Research Institute (ICAR-CPRI), Shimla, has come up with an innovative solution to this problem - a wind-powered insect air trap. This device addresses the shortcomings of traditional pest control methods by providing real-time insect population data. The trap is powered entirely by wind energy, making it an environmentally friendly solution that requires no power. Its unique design allows monitoring of both harmful and beneficial insects, providing a complete overview of the population in any agricultural area. “By assessing target pests at the right time, we can take necessary measures to control both pests and diseases,” says Kapil ... >>

Lead free piezoceramic 09.03.2005

Piezoceramic materials are widely used in modern technology.

A piezoceramic plate has the ability to create an electric charge with any deformation and, conversely, change its shape when an electric voltage is applied to it. The first property is used, for example, in piezoceramic heads for turntables or in gas stove lighters. The second - for example, in cell phone calls.

The most common and most effective piezoceramic material today is lead zirconattitanate, in which lead is 60% by weight. Once in landfills, used electronics pollute the soil and water with lead.

A new type of piezoceramics, which does not contain lead, has been created in the laboratory of the Japanese company Toyota, but in preliminary tests it showed no worse results than lead. It is a polycrystalline material consisting mainly of sodium and potassium niobate with small additions of lithium, tantalum and antimony.

Considering that the Japanese even try to solder their electronics with lead-free solder, the novelty will apparently soon find application in Japanese cell phones.
