    Surge Protection for 24V DC Input Circuit

    I had a circuit of buck convertor that converting 24V dc to 4V dc. 24V dc input is from a PSU (Meanwell's PLN series), once it go in, it connects to a Polyfuse, then polarity diode (in series), then Common mode choke, then it's my converter's input capacitor (35V 47uF AVX's TAJ series)...

    Why is black better than white for sun protection?

    OK, so people say that wearing white is better than wearing black in the sun because white reflects light whereas black absorbs light. But at the same time it is said that black is better for sun protection (for example, darker skinned people are much less likely to get skin cancer than...

    Zinc Coating: What Makes it Ideal for Steel Protection?

    Why Zinc is so commonly use coat metals such as steel? I know that its a good corrosion resistant metal to use but what properties of zinc make it good to use under normal atmospheric conditions? Does it have to do with the oxide layer that it forms around it?

    Cathodic Protection: Understanding the Science Behind It

    What did iron do to protect copper? 1. I know it has a stronger reductive power than copper, which means it has more tendency to oxidize. Question: So, iron reduces O2 and H2O instead of copper? Or does it also reduce the copper that oxidized? Could someone explain me what really happens?

    Strengthening Road Bike Tires for Puncture Protection

    On standard road bike tires sometimes they put a soft/flexible kevlar layer to protect against puncture. I was thinking about putting in in hard/rigid kevlar layer to also protect against puncture, I know that this will make the actual tire stiffer and harder to deform, which could be a bonus...

    Boric acid used to provide heat protection?

    Hi, Has anyone heard of a layer of boric acid being used as a heat shield? I know it is often used in solution and other composites to act as a fire retardant, but what I'm looking for is any reference to boric acid, by itself, being used as an insulator. Maybe like a layer of boric acid...

    Galvanizing and cathodic protection

    okay, I'm having an argument at home, we're all 2nd year engineers and have different views on the galvanizing process. the way i see it is metals are dipped in zinc (anode) and are connected to the metal (cathode). a reaction takes place which provides cathodic protection to the metal if the...
