  2. Continuously variable transmission - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continuously_variable...

    Continuously variable transmission. A continuously variable transmission (CVT) is an automated transmission that can change through a continuous range of gear ratios. This contrasts with other transmissions that provide a limited number of gear ratios in fixed steps.

  3. Magnetic flux - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetic_flux

    The two equations for the EMF are, firstly, the work per unit charge done against the Lorentz force in moving a test charge around the (possibly moving) surface boundary ∂Σ and, secondly, as the change of magnetic flux through the open surface Σ. This equation is the principle behind an electrical generator.

  4. Reactances of synchronous machines - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reactances_of_synchronous...

    the sub-transient state is the one the generator enters immediately after the fault (short circuit). In this state the armature flux is pushed completely out of the rotor. The state is very brief, as the current in the damper winding quickly decays allowing the armature flux to enter the rotor poles only. The generator goes into transient state;

  5. Non-circular gear - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-circular_gear

    Non-circular gear example Another non-circular gear. A non-circular gear (NCG) is a special gear design with special characteristics and purpose. While a regular gear is optimized to transmit torque to another engaged member with minimum noise and wear and with maximum efficiency, a non-circular gear's main objective might be ratio variations, axle displacement oscillations and more.

  6. Weber electrodynamics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weber_electrodynamics

    t. e. Weber electrodynamics is a theory of electromagnetism that preceded Maxwell electrodynamics and was replaced by it by the end of the 19th century. [1] Weber electrodynamics is mainly based on the contributions of André-Marie Ampère, Carl Friedrich Gauss and Wilhelm Eduard Weber. In this theory, Coulomb's law becomes velocity and ...

  7. Droop speed control - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Droop_speed_control

    Droop speed control is a control mode used for AC electrical power generators, whereby the power output of a generator reduces as the line frequency increases. It is commonly used as the speed control mode of the governor of a prime mover driving a synchronous generator connected to an electrical grid. It works by controlling the rate of power ...

  8. Transmission (mechanical device) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transmission_(mechanical...

    A transmission (also called a gearbox) is a mechanical device which uses a gear set —two or more gears working together—to change the speed, direction of rotation, or torque multiplication/reduction in a machine. [1][2] Transmissions can have a single fixed-gear ratio, multiple distinct gear ratios, or continuously variable ratios.

  9. Slider-crank linkage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slider-crank_linkage

    These equations express the link lengths, L 1, L 2, and L 3, as a function of the stroke,(ΔR 4) max, the imbalance angle, β, and the angle of an arbitrary line M, θ M. Arbitrary line M is a designer-unique line that runs through the crank pivot point and the extreme retracted slider position. The 3 equations are as follows:
