Light-emitting diode

A light-emitting diode (LED) is a semiconductor light source.[3] LEDs are used as indicator lamps in many devices and are increasingly used for other lighting. Introduced as a practical electronic component in 1962,[4] early LEDs emitted low-intensity red light, but modern versions are available across the visible, ultraviolet, and infrared wavelengths, with very high brightness. When a light-emitting diode is forward-biased (switched on), electrons are able to recombine with electron holes within the device, releasing energy in the form of photons. This effect is called electroluminescence and the color of the light (corresponding to the energy of the photon) is determined by the energy gap of the semiconductor. LEDs are often small in area (less than 1 mm2), and integrated optical components may be used to shape its radiation pattern.[5] LEDs present many advantages over incandescent light sources including lower energy consumption, longer lifetime, improved robustness, smaller size, and faster switching. LEDs powerful enough for room lighting are relatively expensive and require more precise current and heat management than compact fluorescent lamp sources of comparable output. Light-emitting diodes are used in applications as diverse as aviation lighting, automotive lighting, advertising, general lighting, and traffic signals. LEDs have allowed new text, video displays, live video, and sensors to be developed, while their high switching rates are also useful in advanced communications technology. Infrared LEDs are also used in the remote control units of many commercial products including televisions, DVD players, and other domestic appliances.

The conversion of sunlight into electricity has been dominated by photovoltaic and solar thermal power generation. Photovoltaic cells are deployed widely, mostly as flat panels, whereas solar thermal electricity generation relying on optical concentrators and mechanical heat engines is only seen in large-scale power plants. Here we demonstrate a promising flat-panel solar thermal to electric power conversion technology based on the Seebeck effect and high thermal concentration, thus enabling wider applications. The developed solar thermoelectric generators (STEGs) achieved a peak efficiency of 4.6% under AM1.5G (1 kW m−2) conditions. The efficiency is 7–8 times higher than the previously reported best value for a flat-panel STEG, and is enabled by the use of high-performance nanostructured thermoelectric materials and spectrally-selective solar absorbers in an innovative design that exploits high thermal concentration in an evacuated environment.

The copter itself is organised around the main CPU. The job of this CPU is to acquire the physical measurement given by the gyroscopes and accelerometers and to control the motors to keep the copter stable. This is done by a regulation loop which controls the motors speed 250 times per second. The radio communication has a pretty low bandwidth and is used to send commands to the copter and receive telemetry data from it. The CPU program can be updated by radio.

The computer runs control and telemetry programs. The control program reads the input from a game-pad and sends control commands to the copter. We also have programs that can configure the copter regulation parameters and log the measurements in order to make easier to tune the regulation. All the development is done on Windows and Linux. Indeed we are 3 to work on this project, two of us work on Linux and one is mainly on Windows. Using FLOSS permit to handle that in a very effective way. We are mainly using the GCC compiler from CodeSourcery for the copter program compilation, GNU Make for the project build, Mercurial for the source control, and python/pyusb for the communication with the copter. All these softwares works seamlessly on both Linux and Windows and made the project pretty easy to handle. The distance between the motors (horizontally and vertically) is around 8 cm and the total weight is around 20 g.
