UNIST scientists turn raindrops into electricity using carbon fiber rooftops to power smart drainage and flood warnings.

The need to move beyond 12 V in automotive systems has been apparent for years, but now, finally, consensus seems to have ...

While standard receptacles typically use three wires -- hot, neutral and ground -- you'll occasionally find 2-prong outlets in older homes. Since this type of outlet lacks a ground connection, the ...

The best portable generators and power stations offer a practical backup for outages big and small, keeping critical devices ...

Abstract: In this study, a high-voltage, high-current impulse generator to evaluate the indirect effects of lightning was developed. The impulse generator was designed to meet 14 distinct conditions ...

There are generators with enough power for home backup that roll on wheels and technically are portable. But when we talk about “portable generators” we’re usually referring to models that are small ...

Abstract: The rated current and short-circuit current of the large-capacity generator circuit breaker (GCB) far exceed the limit of a single vacuum circuit breaker (VCB). In this paper, a ...

The US is looking to tap the nation’s network of large industrial diesel generators used at data centers, big box stores and elsewhere to help curb rising electricity costs and support the surge in ...
