The first transistors were point contact devices, not far from the cats-whiskers of early radio receivers. They were fragile and expensive, and their performance was not very high. The transistor ...
Abstract: A dense plasma focus (DPF) is a co-axial plasma railgun, whose discharge ends in a z-pinch phase. The MegaJOuLe neutron imaging radiography (MJOLNIR) DPF is a Lawrence Livermore National ...
This video explains what transistors are and how they function as electronic switches and amplifiers. As a core component of ...
Abstract: This paper proposes a boost PFC converter based on model predictive current control to achieve both improved efficiency and robustness against voltage distortion. The control method of the ...
