Stanford researchers have designed a new type of reactor that uses magnetic induction instead of fossil fuel combustion to enable even distribution of high-grade heat for thermochemical processing.
Researchers in the Stanford University Power Electronics Research Lab developed an effective ring electrode that removes spurious modes in piezoelectric resonators.
Researchers at Stanford have developed a frequency-selective MHz power amplifier for generating dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) plasma. Commercial applications include plasma-assisted nitrogen fixation for fertilizer production.
Researchers at Stanford have developed the first known fixed-frequency control method to enable piezoelectric based power converters to avoid spurious mode and operate across a full output power range while maintaining high efficiency.
Researchers in the Stanford University Power Electronics Research Lab have designed an easy to implement, high-efficiency, high-frequency power amplifier with low voltage stress.
Researchers at Stanford have developed a method to tune power amplifier circuits to directly connect their output power (and adjust the combined output power) without any additional power combiner network.
This single-stage resonant inverter architecture achieves constant power and efficiency over a large bandwidth, solving one of the largest problems with state-of-the-art resonant inverter power amplifier architectures.
Stanford researchers have designed a high-voltage cascode GaN/SiC device combining the advantages of both a GaN and an SiC device (i.e. reduced gate loss/simple gate drive requirements)
Stanford researchers have optimized air-core coil design for wireless power transfer and demonstrated a 2x improvement over current designs. Existing resonant tank and coils are restraining MHz frequency inductive wireless power transfer efficiency.
Engineers from Stanford and the Australian National University have developed a robust micro electric propulsion system to maneuver miniature satellites (CubeSats) and thereby extend their lifetime.
Researchers in Dr. Juan Rivas-Davila's lab have developed 3D printing methods to make aircore inductors and capacitors with more complex geometries and functionality than components using printed circuit boards.
