Geothermal power offers a stable, continuous source of renewable energy that could help power millions of homes while reducing dependence on fossil fuels. As governments worldwide pursue ...

IDEAL ELECTRIC COMPANY (IDEAL) of Mansfield, Ohio, announced today the acquisition of the tangible and intangible personal property and certain intellectual property of Louis Allis Large Synchronous ...

Induction heating makes shrink-fit connections easy to assemble and disassemble by evenly and gently heating and expanding the outer part of the assembly without overheating any specific area. Since ...

Today, most electric machines operate with radial flux (RF). Magnax offers a new concept, though—a machine that operates with axial flux (AF). Figure 1 provides a comparison of the RF and AF ...

Engineering efforts to simulate radial-flux machines concentrate on inherently 2D problems. Most of the 2D FEA software is good for "quick-and-easy" solutions demanded by shorter design schedules.

The thyristor d.c. drive remains an important speed-controlled industrial drive, especially where the higher maintenance cost associated with the d.c. motor brushes (c.f. induction motor) is tolerable ...
