Lithium-ion vs. Lithium-polymer Batteries

Lithium-ion vs. Lithium-polymer Batteries

Introduction As the vital energy sources driving technology innovation, Lithium-ion (Li-ion) and Lithium-polymer (Li-po) batteries have emerged as leading power solutions across electronics – from laptops, smartphones, and electric vehicles to drones. Despite harnessing lithium, Li-ion and Li-po batteries feature unique attributes, tailoring them to specific applications and uses yet universally enabling devices to unleash […]

SOLAR INTEGRATED ULP FEATHER NEEDS NO BATTERIES1

SOLAR INTEGRATED ULP FEATHER NEEDS NO BATTERIES

Long battery-life and Low power consumption are usually top on the list of requirements for most hardware devices these days, as the weariness of having to constantly charge a device continues to have significant effect on customers’ choice. Asides from consumer applications, another reason fueling this demand is the growth in the deployment of IoT

Fancy LED Hat

Fancy LED Hat

I’ve always wanted to do an Arduino project, but never had any great ideas for one until my family was invited to a fancy hat party. With two weeks lead time, I was curious if I could both plan and execute a motion sensitive LED animation hat. Turns out I could! I probably went a

SOZU MONITORING SYSTEM HARVESTS ACTIVITY ENERGY RUNS WITHOUT BATTERIES

SOZU MONITORING SYSTEM HARVESTS ACTIVITY ENERGY & RUNS WITHOUT BATTERIES

A team of Researchers at Carnegie Mellon University’s Future Interfaces Group have developed self-powered radio tags called Sozu, which enables building-scale activity sensing, without the need for line-of-sight and at a very low cost. They claim a 99 percent detection rate and “almost no false positives.” The team of researchers includes Yang Zhang, Yasha Iravantchi, Haojian Jin, Swarun Kumar, and Chris Harrison. Sozu

PORTABLE FINE DUST PM10 ANALYZER WITH LARGE OLED DIGITS

PORTABLE FINE DUST PM10 ANALYZER WITH LARGE OLED DIGITS

In one of our previous articles, we built a DIY air quality monitor which was based on measuring the amount of Hydrocarbon concentration in the air using the BME680 VOC Whisker. While things work quite well using that method, there are several other parameters and air constituents which also have the same devastating effect and may be present in the air,
