Make Projects: Small Form Factor PCs

O'Reilly, 2008

Shoebox sized and smaller, small form factor PCs can pack as much computing muscle as anything from a PDA to a full-sized desktop computer. They consume less power, have few or no moving parts, and are very quiet. Whether you plan to use one as a standalone PC or want to embed it in your next hacking project, a small form factor PC may be the next...

Integration of Alternative Sources of Energy

John Wiley & Sons, 2006

Our goal in writing this book was to discuss the ‘‘electrical side’’ of alternative energy sources. From the beginning, we felt that this approach would be a challenge that would be very difficult to fulfill. Most of the current technical work explores just one or two types of alternative energy sources, but the integration...
