A parallel LC filter has impedance that's theoretically infinite at its resonant frequency. You can exploit this characteristic to decouple a voltage generator from its load. Doing so lets the generator drive any load.
Every so often, an article comes along that discusses technology replacing people. Usually, these articles are doomsday stories about how we'll all lose our jobs to robots and online services. The counter argument, often from the other side of the political spectrum, is that automation increases profits, which companies then invest into making new jobs, ...

Other times, it's something outside the realm of possibility as we presently know it, such as time travel (I'm not saying here that it ...
When I was editor of Design Ideas, I probably saw more circuits for charging and monitoring batteries than for any application except LEDs. This week, I present circuits that charge batteries, limit current, monitor battery health, and measure discharge time.
