AI Thread Summary
To generate 12VDC from a solar panel output of 3-5V, a DC-to-DC converter integrated circuit, such as the IC7660, is recommended. Users can find application examples and detailed information in the IC's datasheet. It is important to note that these circuits are not designed for high power applications. The discussion emphasizes the utility of the IC7660 for this voltage conversion task. Overall, this method provides a practical solution for achieving the desired voltage from a low-output solar panel.

Hi everyone,can anyone show me how the circuit looks like to generate 12VDC using solar panel from around 3 - 5V?

parames, Welcome to Physics Forums!

To convert the output from solar panel of 3 - 5 Volts to 12 Volts you can use a DC-to-DC converter integrated circuit. The most common is the IC7660. Go to a data sheet site and download the pdf data sheet, then check the application examples.

These circuits do not handle large amounts of power, so don't get your expectations to high...

Thread 'Weird near-field phenomenon I get in my EM simulation'

I recently made a basic simulation of wire antennas and I am not sure if the near field in my simulation is modeled correctly. One of the things that worry me is the fact that sometimes I see in my simulation "movements" in the near field that seems to be faster than the speed of wave propagation I defined (the speed of light in the simulation). Specifically I see "nodes" of low amplitude in the E field that are quickly "emitted" from the antenna and then slow down as they approach the far...

Thread 'EMF (Electromagnetic Field) & EHS (Electromagnetic Hyper Sensitivity)'

Hello dear reader, a brief introduction: Some 4 years ago someone started developing health related issues, apparently due to exposure to RF & ELF related frequencies and/or fields (Magnetic). This is currently becoming known as EHS. (Electromagnetic hypersensitivity is a claimed sensitivity to electromagnetic fields, to which adverse symptoms are attributed.) She experiences a deep burning sensation throughout her entire body, leaving her in pain and exhausted after a pulse has occurred...
