USB-C PD: New Technology Done Right
hackaday.com
There is a tendency as we get older, to retreat into an instinctive suspicion of anything new or associated with young people. All of us will know older people who have fallen down this rabbit hole…

I wanted to share this opinion on Hackaday about a topic that is the usefulness of a something that has become ubiquitous relatively fast.

This techonolgyy has a lot of potential, what do you think?

    But different devices need different voltages. Does every outlet in my house have to have its own connection to the central rectifier? It’s a lot of re wiring.

      PWM DC to DC dropping voltage to what you need is easy/cheep.

      So instead of a big transformer + rectifier that each device has now, it would be a much smaller/cheaper step down at like 99.8% efficiency

          Well, I mean if you don’t understand power electronics I don’t see how you can make that statement.

            I understand the electronics. I don’t understand why you think this would be worth replacing all my appliances
