    Yes, that's right. There is a tour of the development centre in a magazine a just got. Basically, there are 2 major companies competing for the battery contract. They said it was difficult to develop it backwards compared to a normal car since the whole car will be ready before the power...

    Maximizing Positive Power from AC Outlet: Affordable Rectifier Circuits

    Yeah safety is definatly an issue here especially because I'm dealing with water. I plan to use proper enclosures. There will be a switch and fuse aswell. I will use a bridge rectifier with some large power diodes. Thanks for all your help.

    Maximizing Positive Power from AC Outlet: Affordable Rectifier Circuits

    Thats what I'm trying to figure out. I know a half wave rectifier does not require a transformer. I've only seen schematics of full wave rectifiers paired with transformers so I'm not sure if you can use a full wave rectifier without a transformer. If you can, then I would certainly use a...

    Maximizing Positive Power from AC Outlet: Affordable Rectifier Circuits

    The electrolysis uses any voltage and any current-but the more the better. There are no electronic components in this electrolysis cell. The load can be varied by changing the distance between the plates. I have a switching ps but they are still expensive for the amount of power. Thanks for...

    Maximizing Positive Power from AC Outlet: Affordable Rectifier Circuits

    I'm an instrumentation technician, but first I had to be an electronics technician so I've been brainwashed with safety. The problem is I can troubleshoot but I can't engineer. The application is for an experiment with an electrolysis cell (seperate H and O out of water). I can change the...

    Electric Car Internal Design & Engines

    Well the basic components are batteries, a controller, and an AC or DC electric motor. Batteries are usually Lead Acid, but more recently NiMH or Lithium. The controller varies only the current to the motor. Voltages are over 100V. Motors are usually adapted DC or AC industrial process...

    Maximizing Positive Power from AC Outlet: Affordable Rectifier Circuits

    Hi I'm new here. I'm trying to obtain the max power possible from a standard 120VAC 15A outlet, but the wave must be rectified so it is always positive. I always see a bridge rectifier circuit paired with a transformer, but if I'm going for max power, and not trying to achive a specific...
