Everyone loves a full-wave bridge rectifier, but there’s no denying that they aren’t 100% efficient due to the diode voltage drop. Which isn’t to say that with some effort we …read more Continue reading Active Ideal Full Bridge Rectifier using TEA2208T
Physics simulations using classical mechanics is something that’s fairly easily done on regular consumer hardware, with real-time approximations a common feature in video games. Moving things to the quantum realm …read more Continue reading Simulating Driven-Dissipative Quantum Spin Dynamics on Consumer Hardware
When you think of air conditioners, you tend to think of rather bulky units, with the window-mounted appliances probably among the most compact. There’s however no real minimum size limit …read more Continue reading Mini Battery-Powered Vapor-Compression Air Conditioner
Optical Character Recognition (OCR) forms the bridge between the analog world of paper and the world of machines. The modern-day expectation is that when we point a smartphone camera at …read more Continue reading Retrotechtacular: IBM’s The World of OCR
It’s no surprise that NVIDIA is gradually dropping support for older videocards, with the Pascal (GTX 10xx) GPUs most recently getting axed. What’s more surprising is the terrible way that …read more Continue reading NVIDIA Drops Pascal Support on Linux, Causing Chaos on Arch Linux
Perhaps the most beautiful aspect of mathematics is that it applies to literally everything, even things that do not exist in this Universe. In addition to this there are a …read more Continue reading Treating Functions as Vectors in Hilbert Space
Although you can purchase many types of FDM filaments containing ‘carbon fiber’ these days, they are in no way related to the carbon fiber (CF) composite materials used for rocket …read more Continue reading FibreSeeker 3: Continuous Carbon Fiber vs Chopped CF
Would you feel confident in buying US-made LiFePO4 (LFP) batteries? While the answer here is generally expected to be ‘yes’, especially compared to getting an unbranded LFP battery off eBay …read more Continue reading Born to Burn: the Battle Born LFP Battery
Printing metal as easily as it is to printed with thermoplastics has been a dream for a very long time, with options for hobbyists being very scarce. This is something …read more Continue reading Printing With Metal on the Ender 3 Using Only a Friction Wheel
Key to efficient hardware emulation is an efficient mapping to the underlying CPU’s opcodes. Here one is free to target opcodes that may or may not have been imagined for …read more Continue reading Abusing x86 SIMD Instructions to Optimize PlayStation 3 Emulation
