I got my BS from a top school in Chemistry years ago. Realized I wanted to go down a different path and did a MS program in MechE. Since I didn't have an engineering undergrad, I actually had to complete quite a bit of undergrad MechE courses first before I started. I then went on to complete...
A co-worker and I were having a discussion about electroplating and the idea of electrochemical bonding came up. I've never heard of such a technique but it got me curious about whether or not it could be possible. For example, If I had two copper wires in an solution, could these be bonded to...
Hello,
I'm working on designing a HF flyback transformer for an AC to DC power supply and I have a question about the relationship between the winding turns and layers on the transformer. If we take a transformer with 200 primary turns would there be a difference in how these turns are...
Is there any reason why a radial aluminum electrolytic capacitor couldn't be custom made flat to a pancake shape. Essentially the total surface area of the internal plates would be the same but the overall shape of the capacitor would be much smaller. Is there anything that would theortically...
At that point I would need at least 100 parts in parralell which isnt an option due to size and cost. Any other ideas? What about a custom aluminum electrolytic capacitor that is large in the X and Y direction but very thin in the Z?
I'm working on an AC to DC power supply application that is very space limited in terms of board thickness. I am looking for a 400V ~10uF cap that is no thicker than 0.090". I have much more room in terms of length and width but the thickness of the cap itself cannot be greater than 0.090". Are...
