is showcasing a GaN-based, dc-to-dc boost converter running at more than 99% efficiency. The company’s GaN-based power converters are designed with 600 Volt transistors and low loss power diodes, will come in industry-standard packages, and are designed for optimum high-frequency switching, lowest loss and highest efficiency.

The drive components (motor, two-stage 1-speed transmission) of the HyMotion are in the engine compartment of the car as are the hydrogen fuel cell stack; the cooling system; a tri-port converter that regulates the voltage between the electric motor, the fuel cell and the lithium-ion battery; and the turbo compressor.

Most EV-converted classics roll out of home workshops, but when manufacturers join the party it’s recognition of how a brand’s heritage can blend with very modern propulsion. The Surge uses a 400-volt, 200kW electric powertrain, mounted to the CJ’s frame with custom engine mounts. Electromodding is cool.

Half-bridge circuits are the centerpiece of many voltage converters. Fraunhofer Institute for Applied Solid State Physics IAF has now produced and demonstrated the world’s first monolithically integrated GaN half bridge for the important 600 volt class. This means that they require smaller output filters.

Dr. Ulrich Hackenberg, Member of the Board of Management for Technical Development at Audi, during a fuel cell technology workshop held at the LA show, and may be ready to talk about that technology by the end of next year. The entire fuel cell operates in the voltage range of 230 to 360 volts.

The electric biturbo system comprises a classic exhaust turbocharger (mono- or bi-turbo) working together with a supplemental, electric-powered compressor arranged in series and powered by a separate 48-volt electrical system. A DC/DC converter provides the connection to the 12-volt electrical system. Electrification.

They are a class of generator that converts mechanical work into electrostatic energy through induction. It was this style of generator that Wimshurst began tinkering with in his home workshop in the early 1880s. By 1883 he had solidified his design. Antônio Carlos M. Wimshurst made more than 90 of his eponymous machines.
