Radio frequency, or RF, devices are used in just about everything in the modern age. These devices allow your electronics to work wirelessly, weld plastics together and even treat cancer. Learning about RF devices can help you build your own circuits or even just better understand the types of medical treatment you are undergoing. The two main things you will want to know are how do they work and where they are found.

How Do They Work?

Different radio frequency devices will have the same basic mechanics, but vastly different functions and applications. These items usually create electromagnetic radiation and then direct that energy source with the help of RF power dividers in specific ways to create radio waves designed to break up cancer in the body or to send information wirelessly. Because the wavelength and strength are different for those two applications, and others, you cannot use your cellular …

Long days on the road can take a real toll on any vehicle, but anything you can do to make your ride smoother and more efficient for you and your rig can help you get to where you’re going in a better fashion. Here are just a few ideas on how to make your long hauls more efficient and more comfortable.

Fuel-Efficient

One of the best ways to keep your rig on the road is making sure it’s working as efficiently as possible. This means keeping your truck well-maintained with quality tires and keeping a good mechanic on call. Consider increasing your fuel efficiency with an AirDog fuel system installation to keep you on the road longer without having to refuel, and if your company allows it, aim for the best quality fuel you can manage.

Economical

Whether you’re a local delivery driver making rounds delivering packages or you’ve got …

People around the world depend on the reliability of power transmission. This bulk movement of energy from its generation site to businesses, homes, and public areas makes it possible for people to flip the lights on or take turns passing through a traffic intersection. The interconnected lines that make it possible for the energy to travel are called the transmission network. However, at any point along this line, there’s the potential for damage or simply wear and tear.

A Single-Phase AC System Example

Whether on a large scale or smaller commercial scale, AC power transmission systems (just one of many types of systems) generally begin at a generating station. The voltage is then sent through a primary transmission stage, through a receiving station, and through a secondary transmission stage. At this point, the voltage (having been stepped up or down) passes through a substation. Here, the power splits to …
