Brushless motors Brushless motors have become part of our daily lives. They are found in many of the gadgets we interact with everyday from mobile phones to drones. Compared to its brushed counterpart, a  brushless motor  has been confirmed to be more efficient, quitter, lighter and more durable. It is for these reasons and more that brushless motors have gained such wide adoption. Besides being available in home electronics gadgets, brushless motors are also available in industrial applications. Discussed, below are some of the popular industrial applications of brushless motors. Industrial applications of brushless motors 1.Aerospace and defense Did you know that brushless motors are qualified as the prime movers for Apollo’s life support blowers?  BLDC motors  are also being used to circulate oxygen in Lunar Portable Life Support System. Brushless motors can survive extreme environmental conditions hence meet critical mission performance requirements. They are also mainte

IoT platforms An IoT platform has a lot of different meanings depending on who you are talking to in the IoT ecosystem. To hardware vendors, embedded boards are the  IoT  platform is where one can write their IoT applications. For cloud service providers, infrastructure is a platform where developers will consume data from sensors and create applications. For clarity, we will refer an IoT platform as the middle ware layer that collects data from sensors and other devices and then produces meaningful results and carries out necessary action based on the insight. An IoT platform should offer device SDK OR APIs through which developers could connect a hardware platform and access their cloud-based services. How to pick the right IoT platform In a world where every platform provider claims to offer faster, smarter and better than their competitors, one needs to have technical parameters which they can use to evaluate the platforms at their disposal. Below are five factors you s

Electric Grill Grilling is a long standing American tradition. Grilling is often witnessed in birthdays, cook outs and family barbecues. Grilling can be actualized using a charcoal or electric grill. An  electric grill  can either be indoor or outdoor. Some electric grills have hoods while others just have a flat grilling surface. We are going to focus on helping you buy the best electric grill. Factors to consider when choosing an electric grill Built in temperature gage Built in temperature gauge helps monitor the temperature at which your meat roast. If an electric grill has a cover it better have a temperature gauge built into the lid so that it can let you know when your food is ready. A simple go light will suffice for contact-style grills to alert you when the temperature has been reached. Power to recover heat fast Whenever you open the lid of an electric grill, some heat escapes. Buy the best grill that has enough power to power up quickly to the desired heat le
