APH Networks: Corsair CV550 550W Report
In my introduction of my Kingston KC2500 1TB review, I talked about how some 21 year old kid studying mechanical engineering tried to impress my friend by claiming he could disprove the first law of thermodynamics. Being as curious as I always am, I tried looking up this guy to learn a little more about him. According to some of his social media accounts, another outlandish claim he has is how he is on track to figure out how to significantly improve the energy density, endurance, and recharge speed of lithium-ion batteries within the next two years for a budget of merely $9000. The absurdity of this may be more apparent to me -- I am expecting to receive my PhD in electrical engineering this month -- but it really boils down to the fact it is impossible for someone with no training in the material sciences field can pull this off. To put it into perspective, even Professor Jeff Dahn, a leading expert in this field who holds a Canada Industrial Research Chair sponsored by Tesla, received more awards than I have papers published, and has more papers published than I have published pages is still quite a ways off from what this guy thinks he can do. Professor Dahn and his research group published a paper last year that addressed battery endurance called "A Wide Range of Testing Results on an Excellent Lithium-Ion Cell Chemistry to be used as Benchmarks for New Battery Technologies", and it is nowhere near what this kid is claiming. Needless to say, the 21 year old kid's project is literally impossible with that time frame and budget even if is an Einstein-level genius. In a similar manner, it is a wonder whether a cheap power supply can actually be done well in 2020 or is it still absurd like the guy's claims. Today, we have the Corsair CV550 550W, a power supply that has dipped as low as $40 before. Cheap it is, but is it any good? We took one apart to find out.
