I am redeveloping a product that literally billions of people use, from every day to at least once a month. I need some help designing the power portion, as I am not an engineer.

I am planning on using the GTL ICR18650 3.7V 3000 mAh Lithium Battery because it provides the power needed, as well as cost efficiency. Now to charge this battery as well as to power this device using lower power than the battery (ie. solar panel) I found the Texas Instruments LM2623 boost converter to step-up the voltage and regulate the amperage. Would this work?

I am also having troubles finding a charger for this device. Could anyone suggest any that are well suited and cost effective?

Thread 'Questions about the Tesla turbine'

Hi all, i have some questions about the tesla turbine: is a tesla turbine more efficient than a steam engine or a stirling engine ? about the discs of the tesla turbine warping because of the high speed rotations; does running the engine on a lower speed solve that or will the discs warp anyway after time ? what is the difference in efficiency between the tesla turbine running at high speed and running it at a lower speed ( as fast as possible but low enough to not warp de discs) and: i...

Thread 'Where is my curb stop?'

My water meter is submerged under water for about 95% of the year. Today I took a photograph of the inside of my water meter box because today is one of the rare days that my water meter is not submerged in water. Here is the photograph that I took of my water meter with the cover on: Here is a photograph I took of my water meter with the cover off: I edited the photograph to draw a red circle around a knob on my water meter. Is that knob that I drew a red circle around my meter...
