Power Supplies and Electronic Life-Hacks (ElectroBOOM101 – 009)

I remember this نکن دیگه and definately the slap from my Grandmother! No sandals though.

Hi Mehdi the company who recently hired me tried to use your promo for 30% off Altium, it didn't work because we're located in EU, after speaking with the rep at Altium they further informed us they could make an exception and gives us the 30% off but only if we bought a perpetual license, just thought you should know. Keep rocking that uni brow ^^

Entertaining & educational as always. Takes me back to university days! I did want to issue a "technical challenge": Since Super-capacitors are gaining more widespread use -AND- unlike batteries - you can run them DEAD without negative repercussions; -Design a highly efficient power-supply (buck converter?) that generates a constant output (5V) from the falling voltage of a super capacitor (/bank). AND design the power supply to operate down to the lowest voltage possible (using every last stored joule). Under half a volt should be your point-of-failure goal. THAT would be a video worth viral sharing among engineers!

480V? In Germany we only have 380V 3 Phases for high power Applications

Nice! It was very handy to finally get a run-down on current sources because I'd never studied them. I didn't even know they existed! Many thanks :-)

Outstanding, Mehdi! Your Mum looks to be a fearsome woman

Yup, think of all the radioactive elements in the earth's crust due to the big bang and formation of the galaxy.

Not all energy harvested on earth is a result of the suns radiation ;-)

That desk looks like its about to collapse with all that EXPENSIVE equipment on it.

I've been waiting for an electronicboom 101! I'll enjoy watching this!
