Rechargeable Battery Basics: Long-Term Storage
You know when you buy food that it will go bad at some point. Luckily, they print these expiration date labels on food and other products to let you know. You also know that there are places where food items should or should not be stored. But, did you know that batteries function in exactly […]
Rechargeable Battery - Cost-Effective Sources of Power
One of the most powerful and useful innovation of modern times is indeed the rechargeable battery.
With increasing demand and use of portable devices by consumers, the need for rechargeable battery power has undergone an upsurge over the years.
Rechargeable Battery
A group of two or more secondary cells when restored to full charge by […]
Rechargeable Batteries Aren’t Always Best
Understanding how batteries work can be a little difficult. Nobody yet has invented the “perfect battery” that is high energy, long lasting, small and totally safe. You have to pick and choose which qualities are best for you.
For instance, if you want a durable battery with a long life, you won’t be able to find […]
Digital Camera Batteries - Excellent Power Source for Your Camera
Digital camera batteries are specifically designed for the unique way digital cameras use energy - in big power bursts. Digital camera batteries have substantial power with a much longer life than alkaline AAs.
Batteries for portable consumer devices are principally made using technologies such as:
- Nickel Cadmium (NiCd)
- Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH)
- Lithium Ion (Li-Ion)
Each type […]
Lithium Batteries - Tips to Make Your Laptop Last Longer
The basic makeup of each battery type is very similar. Each has a positive electrode (cathode), a negative electrode (anode), a separator and an electrolyte. However, the chemistry in each is different. The differences offer various levels of performance.
Much of our newest technologies demand much more power than its predecessors. The features and sophistication of […]
Metal Bellows for Critical Industrial Applications
I built my first bellows 35 years ago from leather and wood. My father was a union sheet-metal man and enjoyed building small projects. Metal bellows for industry generally serve a different purpose than that one, even though they function the same. Still….there are metal bellows pumps that work in some very critical applications in […]
Expansion Joints Keep your Production Moving
Piping systems are the life blood of many heavy industrial markets. Any time air, gases, or liquids need to be moved, there is a heavy investment in the piping systems to get them from place to place.
Even in a food processing plant there is a need for specially heated piping systems to move corn […]
Expansion Joints to Alleviate Noise and Vibration
Expansion Joints refers to a metal bellows expansion joint designed to absorb axial, lateral and angular motions in piping systems. They are designed to alleviate piping stress, compensate for movement, reduce noise, and isolate vibration.
Expansion joints are designed just for your individual needs. Either metal bellows or sliding expansion joints are used in a […]
Two Way Pagers Vs. Cell Phones
Some people will tell you that two way pagers are better and more convenient than cell phones. This may seem hard to believe, especially if you haven’t owned a pager in a while. But, the truth is that the latest models offer great features at a reasonable price, and this is what’s making them competitive […]
Expansion Joints are Specialized for Your Needs
If you’re reading this, the chances are that you know fair amount about this technology already. Metal bellows and expansion joints are vital components in a number of industrial processes.
They are created from advanced alloys using cutting-edge techniques that enable them to deal with the problems often encountered with fluid piping. In particular, they […]
