Human Power, a Sustainable Option for Electronics
نویسنده
چکیده
The decreasing power requirements of consumer electronics combined with an increasing environmental mindedness of consumers and the increasing use of portable electronic products has set the opportunities for human power as a viable alternative to batteries. No use of batteries means an environmental benefit as well as a consumer benefit. It will lead to new product concepts offering real portable products that can be used anytime and anywhere.

متن کاملA New Configuration for Power Sharing of Two Z-Source Inverters
This paper presents a new structure to provide the ability for power sharing of two Z-source inverters. According to the operation principles of Z-source inverters, only one input source supplies the circuit, which is a limitation particularly for the stand alone systems feeded by limited output power such as photovoltaics and feul cells. Furthermore; if one source fails to supply, the lo...
