solar panels basic theory

The first component of the Solar Power System, is a assortment of individual silicon cells which produce electricity through sunlight. The photons (light contaminants) provide an electric current because they strike the top of slim silicon wafers. A single solar panel produces no more than 1/2 (.5) volt. However, a typical Twelve volt panel about [...]

laser distance measuring theory

Distance-measuring device that operates by transmitting a short high-power pulse toward the target. A photodetector in the ranging system receives a reflection of the pulse. By knowing the time interval required for the signal to travel from the transmitter to the target and back to the receiver, it is possible to calculate the distance from [...]
