alternating current rectifier
81Nantenna — Figure 1. Spectral irradiance of wavelengths in the solar spectrum. The red shaded area shows the irradiance at sea level. There is less irradiance at sea level due to absorption of light by the atmosphere. A nantenna (nanoantenna) is a… …
82semiconductor device — ▪ electronics Introduction electronic circuit component made from a material that is neither a good conductor nor a good insulator (hence semiconductor). Such devices have found wide applications because of their compactness, reliability,… …
83AC/DC (electricity) — Electronic equipment designed to run off either alternating current (ac) or direct current (dc) power is described as ac/dc or AC/DC equipment. This usage has become obsolete with the vacuum tube. Some equipment is inherently able to use either… …
84transistor — /tran zis teuhr/, n. 1. Electronics. a semiconductor device that amplifies, oscillates, or switches the flow of current between two terminals by varying the current or voltage between one of the terminals and a third: although much smaller in… …
85Superconducting magnetic energy storage — (SMES) systems store energy in the magnetic field created by the flow of direct current in a superconducting coil which has been cryogenically cooled to a temperature below its superconducting critical temperature. A typical SMES system includes… …
