    Floating Ground with wireless energy

    Thank you. I have already looked at their system and actually been in contact with a couple of the professors that worked on the initial project at MIT. I am trying to find a different way to do the same thing but hopefully more practical or efficient. If not, then like Edison said "I...

    Floating Ground with wireless energy

    Enthalpy is actually right. I am using 13.56MHz cause its pretty much a free frequency used for testing purposes. Can you possibly explain more on some induced voltages that I might encounter? The oscilloscope is rated at 50MHz and was working during initial testing but some parameters have...

    Levels of difficulty in Electrical and Computer Engineering

    I am an EE student and I can say that I fear the programming and software side of the EE program. For me, the designing and applications of e-mag theories and circuit designs of become second-nature but if you ask me to use a simple Matlab program then you will find me in the corner, crying...
