Comments on the article

Significantly better battery performance can be achieved if they are charged with an asymmetric volume. A diagram of a charging device that implements this principle is shown in the figure.

Charging batteries with asymmetric current

With a positive half-cycle of the input AC voltage, the current flows through the elements VD1, R1 and is stabilized by the diode VD2. Part of the stabilized voltage through a variable resistor R3 is fed to the base of the transistor VT2. Transistors VT2 and VT4 of the lower arm of the device work as a current generator, the value of which depends on the resistance of the resistor R4 and the voltage based on VT2. The charging current in the battery circuit flows through the elements VD3, SA1.1, PA1, SA1.2, the battery, the collector drop of the transistor VT4, R4.

With a negative half-cycle of alternating voltage on the VD1 diode, the operation of the device is similar, but the upper arm works - VD1 stabilizes the negative voltage, which regulates the current flowing through the battery in reverse voltage (discharge current).

The RA1 milliammeter shown in the diagram is used during the initial setup, later it can be turned off by moving the switch to another position.

This charger has the following advantages: 1. Charging and discharging current can be adjusted independently. Therefore, in this device it is possible to use batteries with different energy intensity. 2. In case of any loss of AC voltage, each of the arms closes and current does not flow through the battery, which protects the battery from spontaneous discharge.

In this device, from domestic elements, it can be used as VD1 and VD2 - KC133A, VT1 and VT2 - KT315B or KT503B. The remaining elements are selected depending on the charging current. If it does not exceed 100 mA, then KG3 or KT4 with any letter indices should be used as transistors VT815 and VT807 (placed on a heat sink with a heat-dissipating surface area of 5 ... 15 sq. cm), and as diodes VD3 and VD4 - D226 , KD105 also with any letter indices.

Artificial leather for touch emulation 15.04.2024

In a modern technology world where distance is becoming increasingly commonplace, maintaining connection and a sense of closeness is important. Recent developments in artificial skin by German scientists from Saarland University represent a new era in virtual interactions. German researchers from Saarland University have developed ultra-thin films that can transmit the sensation of touch over a distance. This cutting-edge technology provides new opportunities for virtual communication, especially for those who find themselves far from their loved ones. The ultra-thin films developed by the researchers, just 50 micrometers thick, can be integrated into textiles and worn like a second skin. These films act as sensors that recognize tactile signals from mom or dad, and as actuators that transmit these movements to the baby. Parents' touch to the fabric activates sensors that react to pressure and deform the ultra-thin film. This ... >>

Petgugu Global cat litter 15.04.2024

Taking care of pets can often be a challenge, especially when it comes to keeping your home clean. A new interesting solution from the Petgugu Global startup has been presented, which will make life easier for cat owners and help them keep their home perfectly clean and tidy. Startup Petgugu Global has unveiled a unique cat toilet that can automatically flush feces, keeping your home clean and fresh. This innovative device is equipped with various smart sensors that monitor your pet's toilet activity and activate to automatically clean after use. The device connects to the sewer system and ensures efficient waste removal without the need for intervention from the owner. Additionally, the toilet has a large flushable storage capacity, making it ideal for multi-cat households. The Petgugu cat litter bowl is designed for use with water-soluble litters and offers a range of additional ... >>

The attractiveness of caring men 14.04.2024

The stereotype that women prefer "bad boys" has long been widespread. However, recent research conducted by British scientists from Monash University offers a new perspective on this issue. They looked at how women responded to men's emotional responsibility and willingness to help others. The study's findings could change our understanding of what makes men attractive to women. A study conducted by scientists from Monash University leads to new findings about men's attractiveness to women. In the experiment, women were shown photographs of men with brief stories about their behavior in various situations, including their reaction to an encounter with a homeless person. Some of the men ignored the homeless man, while others helped him, such as buying him food. A study found that men who showed empathy and kindness were more attractive to women compared to men who showed empathy and kindness. ... >>

Traco Power TMG - compact AC-DC modules per board 28.06.2017

Traco has developed a family of ultra-compact PCB mount power supplies. The new converter family includes four series TMG 07, TMG 15, TMG 30 and TMG 50 in the power range from 7 to 50 watts respectively.

The overall dimensions of TMG modules, for example, the 7W-series (TMG 07), are only 27,4 x 27,4 x 18,7 mm, which is more than 2 times smaller than the volume of power supplies of the corresponding power widely used on the market. Despite such small dimensions, the new family of power supplies is operable in a wide temperature range of -40°С...+70°С (with power dependence in the region of increased values).

Converters of the TMG family are produced for a standard range of output voltages, have protection against short circuits and overvoltage, and meet the requirements of class II in terms of electrical safety (electrical insulation strength 5,6 kV DC for TMG 15 and 4,2 kV DC for the rest).

TMG power supplies are manufactured in a plastic case with a compound filling. For electromagnetic compatibility, the power supplies comply with EN 55022 class B. The new products are intended for various industrial and commercial devices of critical use where there are restrictions associated with overall dimensions.

Main technical parameters of the TMG family:

output power: 7, 15, 30, 50 W;
output voltage from a range: 5, 12, 15, 24 V; optional 3,3 V (TMG 30) and 48 V (TMG 50);
input voltage range (AC/47-63 Hz): 90-305 V (TMG 30); 90-264 V - the rest;
input voltage range (DC): 120-370 V;
Efficiency up to 90%;
operating temperature range -40°С...+70°С;
dielectric strength input-output (DC) 5656 V (TMG 15); 4242 B - the rest;
short circuit protection and overvoltage protection.
