AI Thread Summary
Designing a solar-powered battery recharging system involves integrating solar cells to recharge batteries while they are in use, effectively reducing the current drawn from the batteries. This setup allows solar panels to contribute to the power output, ensuring efficient energy utilization. For pneumatic pistons, sourcing small cylinder air systems connected to a 20oz air source is necessary for mechanical or electrical actuation. Recommendations for finding these components include consulting mechanical engineering resources or suppliers. Overall, combining solar energy with pneumatic systems can create an efficient and sustainable design.

I need to find where/how to design a system that uses solar cells to replenish a battery. So that as the battery is being used up the solar cells recharge them or others at the same time.

I also need to figure out where to buy small cylinder air systems (pneumatic pistons) connected to a 20oz simple air source so when pushing or pressing something they push out and return. electrically or mechanically

If you leave a solar panel connected to batteries while the batteries are being used, they already contribute to the output power and hence cause less current to be drawn from the battery.
So, it is quite normal for the solar panels to do this and it means their power is not being wasted.

No idea about the pistons. Maybe try Mechanical engineering.
 

Thread 'Underwater piezoelectric sensor array receive sensitivity'

Hi all I have some confusion about piezoelectrical sensors combination. If i have three acoustic piezoelectrical sensors (with same receive sensitivity in dB ref V/1uPa) placed at specific distance, these sensors receive acoustic signal from a sound source placed at far field distance (Plane Wave) and from broadside. I receive output of these sensors through individual preamplifiers, add them through hardware like summer circuit adder or in software after digitization and in this way got an...

Thread 'What happens if shielded cable has short to the shield?'

While I was rolling out a shielded cable, a though came to my mind - what happens to the current flow in the cable if there came a short between the wire and the shield in both ends of the cable? For simplicity, lets assume a 1-wire copper wire wrapped in an aluminum shield. The wire and the shield has the same cross section area. There are insulating material between them, and in both ends there is a short between them. My first thought, the total resistance of the cable would be reduced...

Thread 'Question about bonding ground and neutral'

I am not an electrical engineering student, but a lowly apprentice electrician. I learn both on the job and also take classes for my apprenticeship. I recently wired my first transformer and I understand that the neutral and ground are bonded together in the transformer or in the service. What I don't understand is, if the neutral is a current carrying conductor, which is then bonded to the ground conductor, why does current only flow back to its source and not on the ground path...
