    Energy storage - alternatives to batteries

    Thanks for the tips on the Li-Ion battery, I will do more research on the matter. If the protection circuit will prove too difficult for me, then I will simply use another type of battery. dave9: I will try to explain things: 1. It's not like i want to make a commercial product. Later on I do...

    Energy storage - alternatives to batteries

    Yes, but I'm going to use way less current (also taking the starting current of the motor into consideration) than it is specified on the product, so I don't think it's going to be a problem.

    Energy storage - alternatives to batteries

    Thanks for the answers. I think I'll use the LiIon battery for my first prototype, because it's still relatively cheap and it's simple. Although I'm thinking about building a steam engine to power my next car. The only problem is that with its size it will, at most, have an overall efficiency...

    My life was a lie

    I read many datasheets, but, the thing is, this minimum voltage drop was simply so fundamentally rooted in my mind that i simply associated these values with other things. For example, i thought the resistance is the ohmic part of the transistor and the 0.7 V is an addition to that. Diodes have...

    Energy storage - alternatives to batteries

    But can they store at least 1-2 kJ? Taking energy losses also into consideration, they don't seem to be a viable solution.

    Energy storage - alternatives to batteries

    I'm designing a remote controlled electric car. The easiest solution would be of course batteries, but I would like to do it in another way. The energy storage should... -not be expensive -have a long life (usable multiple times) -be environment friendly (sustainable, recyclable), if possible...

    My life was a lie

    Hi, I just want to tell you about my story with transistors, because i really do feel stupid now. I've been using various transistors for a long time. I always put them most of the time before the load because it seemed logical and that's how i've seen it elsewhere. I also supplied the...
