Transformer-Less, Reduced Volume PV Inverter Topology
Inverters are devices typically used in solar power generation systems to convert electric current to a more useful type, but are prone to failure and are the main cause of malfunction in solar power systems. Using transformer-less (TL) inverters is a desirable alternative because of their higher efficiency, lower size, and lower cost. However, TL inverters...

Non-Catalytic Rayleigh-Taylor Assisted Combustion Adapted to Exploit Non-Catalytic Rayleigh-Taylor Instability
Combustion processes are essential to engines and power generation. Many combustion devices operate under large, induced forces by arranging the combustion flow path to follow a partially circular geometry that induces centripetal acceleration on the reactants and products flowing through the combustor. These combustors mix the cold reactants and hot...
