The first nail gun was designed by Morris Pynoos, a civil engineer who repeatedly used air pressure to fire the nails on wood. Since the introduction of nail guns in 1950 for house floorings, many more devices have been introduced. Nail guns are now widely used in professional works like installing sides, floorings, construction projects, etc. Here is a detailed guide on nail guns and their types. What is a Nail Gun & How Does it Work?...

Role of a Power Supply Before going into the details of a voltage regulator and the different types of voltage regulators, we will first take a look at the importance of power supply in system design. Take any functioning system: an electronic wrist watch, a modern smart phone or a laptop computer. What do you think the biggest entity as a whole? It is the Power Supply. The role of a Power Supply is to provide the system with a reliable, consistent and repeatable power to its components....

These power lines which have red balls on top of them are usually found in those areas with smaller airports. You can also find these red balls on power lines which are situated across rivers, canyons, or ravines because in these places the endpoint and the starting point are very far away from each other. Other Places Apart from that, these balls are also used in those power lines where aircraft may come frequently like in those mega hospitals with an emergency facility by which they transfer their patient through choppers....

Introduction In the previous tutorial, we learned about Multiplexers or simply MUX. Multiplexers are simple combinational logic circuit, which selects one of many inputs and passes it through the single output. MUX is the device responsible for Multiplexing. The action or operation of a Demultiplexer is exactly the opposite to that of a Multiplexer. As an inverse to the MUX, Demux is a one-to-many circuit. With the use of a Demultiplexer, data from one input can be passed to one of the many output data lines....
