    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_solar_engines

    Solar engine, a circuit which stores energy from solar cells in a capacitor and releases it in pulses to animate toys Stirling engine , a heat engine of the external combustion piston engine type whose heat-exchange process allows for near-ideal efficiency in conversion of heat into mechanical movement

  3. Mission Motors - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mission_Motors

    Mission Motors had periodically competed in electric motorcycle racing events. On June 12, 2009, US racer Thomas Montano rode the Mission One on the 37.733-mile (60.725 km) course of the TTXGP on the Isle of Man. The bike finished in 4th place in the PRO class, with an average speed of 74.091 mph and a lap time of 30 minutes 33.26 seconds. [17]

    An example of work on this type of technology is Advanced Electric Propulsion System. [5] The NASA Solar Technology Application Readiness (NSTAR) ion engine has been used with photovoltaic solar panels, which was tested on the Deep Space 1 mission along with Solar Concentrator Arrays (Launched in 1998 as part of the New Millennium Program).

  5. Internal fan-cooled electric motor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internal_fan-cooled...

    An internal fan-cooled electric motor (colloquially, fan-cooled motor) is a self cooling electric motor.Fan cooled motors feature an axial fan attached to the rotor of the motor (usually on the opposite end as the output shaft) that spins with the motor, providing increased airflow to the motor's internal and external parts which aids in cooling.

  6. Mendocino motor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mendocino_motor

    An original Mendocino Motor is a light commutated motor. Two opposite solar panels are connected plus to opposite minus and minus to opposite plus. A coil is switched between these bridges. The solar panel in the sun/light produces more electricity than the solar panel in the shadow. So the solar panel in the sun dominates the flow of electricity.

  7. Voltage optimisation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voltage_optimisation

    Voltage optimisation is a term given to the systematic controlled reduction in the voltages received by an energy consumer to reduce energy use, power demand and reactive power demand. While some voltage 'optimisation' devices have a fixed voltage adjustment, others electronically regulate the voltage automatically.

  8. Ducted fan - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ducted_fan

    A ducted fan may be powered by any kind of motor capable of turning the fan. Examples include piston, rotary (Wankel), and turboshaft combustion engines, as well as electric motors. The fan may be mounted directly on the powerplant output shaft, or driven remotely via an extended drive shaft and gearing.

  9. Premium efficiency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Premium_efficiency

    Premium efficiency, when used in reference to specific types of Electric Motors (with a rotating shaft), is a class of motor efficiency.. As part of a concerted effort worldwide to reduce energy consumption, CO 2 emissions and the impact of industrial operations on the environment, various regulatory authorities in many countries have introduced, or are planning, legislation to encourage the ...
