Here at Hackaday we really like to feature projects that push the limits of what’s possible, or ones that feature some new and exciting technology that nobody has ever seen before. So what’s so ...

Superconductors can carry electrical current without resistance, but only up to a maximum value known as the critical current ...

Current limiting diodes (CLD) regulate current over a wide voltage range. CLDs are used in many applications. Some examples include waveform generators, battery chargers, and timing circuits. CLDs are ...

Most readers are probably familiar with two-terminal current-limiting circuits, which have been around for many years. The circuit is very effective for applications where load current is relatively ...

Using a current limiter in boost converters for circuit protection. An easy-to-implement design idea to achieve the desired current limiting. 1. A current limiter is added to a power bank that has an ...

A solar day lamp is a simple, inexpensive device for bringing “daylight” to dark interior spaces whenever the sun is shining. This article provides complete instructions for designing lamps using both ...

Eaton FAZ-NA and FAZ-NA-L series current-limiting miniature circuit breakers from AutomationDirect offer optimum and efficient protection for feeder, branch and control circuits up to 63 amps. These ...

Rolls-Royce has been granted a patent for a current limiting diode that features a thermoelectric generator. This generator absorbs heat from the diode’s channel, generating a thermoelectric voltage ...
