  3. Crackling noise - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crackling_noise

    Further research into crackling noise was done in the late 1940s by Charles Francis Richter and Beno Gutenberg who examined earthquakes analytically. Before the invention of the well-known Richter scale, the Mercalli intensity scale was used; this is a subjective measurement of how damaging an earthquake was to property, i.e. II would be small vibrations and objects moving, while XII would be ...

  4. Electromagnetically induced acoustic noise - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnetically...

    The torsional deflection of a simple cylinder cannot radiate efficiently acoustic noise, but with particular boundary conditions the stator can radiate acoustic noise under torque ripple excitation. [8] Structure-borne noise can also be generated by torque ripple when rotor shaft line vibrations propagate to the frame [9] and shaft line.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inductive_charging

    Inductive chargers produce more waste heat than wired chargers, which may negatively impact battery longevity. [ 14 ] [ better source needed ] An amateur 2020 analysis of energy use conducted with a Pixel 4 found that a wired charge from 0 to 100 percent consumed 14.26 Wh ( watt-hours ), while a wireless charging stand used 19.8 Wh, an increase ...

  6. Battery charger - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battery_charger

    A battery charger, recharger, or simply charger, [1] [2] is a device that stores energy in an electric battery by running current through it. The charging protocol—how much voltage and current, for how long and what to do when charging is complete—depends on the size and type of the battery being charged.

    Inspiron XPS – The very first XPS laptop was a very heavy desktop-replacement laptop starting at 9.06 pounds without a power supply (which added 2.5 pounds). This was because it was offered with either a 3.4 GHz desktop Pentium 4 HT "Prescott" processor, or the "Gallatin" Pentium 4 Extreme Edition processor at the same clock speed, which gave ...
