I don’t know if you’ve noticed it, but more and more places are offering pure (or more pure) nitrogen for filling your tires. When I dug into the whys of this, I found a bunch of BS, one good reason, and a lot of money…
Energy Harvesting for Electronics
I recently highlighted a novel audio amp that can run off batteries for a long, long time. And I’ve been collecting some other low power stuff that I’ll share here. But what really makes it complete is the concept of Energy Harvesting!
Hyper Efficient Audio – 100 W from a single battery!
It’s amazing what application specific integrated circuits can do now. I never stop being surprised at what I keep seeing coming out of the pipeline. Audium Semiconductor recently gave me one such surprise with the hyper efficient AS1001 amplifier that can deliver 100 watts peak power, from a 1.5 volt (read single battery) power supply.
