   \section{Results}
-  \lipsum[1-2]
+    In this section the results from section \ref{section:methodology} will be 
+    discussed, as well as discuss some probable causes for unknown or unintended 
+    results.
 
     
+  \subsection{Efficiency}

+    \noindent The results for the efficiency measurements, as described in section 
+    \ref{section:efficiency} are displayed in figure \ref{fig:efficiency}. 
+    The $7V$ measurements follow a predictable curve, however, the $3.3V$ makes
+    an unexplained jump back to a higher percentage.

+  \subsection{Noise}

+    \noindent The results for the efficiency measurements, as described in section 
+    \ref{section:peak_to_peak} are displayed in figure \ref{fig:noise_pkpk}.
+    The peak to peak voltage is a significant fraction of the output voltage,
+    with $3V$ peaking at $33\%$. It seems there is a relation between peak to
+    peak voltage and the output voltage as well, as $7V$ has more noise than
+    $3.3V$

+    \ref{section:standard_devation} are displayed in figure \ref{fig:noise_sd}.
+    Although the voltage peaks are high, the noise's standard deviation is in the
+    range of millivolts. The trend that a higher output voltage has more noise
+    is continued in this graph.
