The UWI campus in Mona, Jamaica, serves as the headquarters of the University Of The West Indies. Besides UWI Mona, [4] the university has four major university centres: UWI Cave Hill (Barbados), UWI St. Augustine (Trinidad and Tobago), UWI Five Islands (Antigua and Barbuda), and the regional UWI Open Campus in the UWI-funding Caribbean nations.
The DC motor was the mainstay of electric traction drives on both electric and diesel-electric locomotives, street-cars/trams and diesel electric drilling rigs for many years. The introduction of DC motors and an electrical grid system to run machinery starting in the 1870s started a new second Industrial Revolution.
Chapel on the Mona campus of the University of the West Indies, on the left Aqueduct from the former sugar plantation. In 1948, the Mona campus was established as a college of the University of London. [10] It is the first campus of the multi-campus University of the West Indies system. In October 1948, it accepted 33 medical students.
The Norman Manley Law School is located on the Mona campus of the University of the West Indies, yet it is a distinct and separate institution. [1] Its building, designed by architect firm Rutkowski, Bradford & Partners, is noted as an example of Caribbean modernist architecture. [2] It is a 700 square metres (7,500 sq ft), two-storey ...
UWI Cave Hill. University of the West Indies at Cave Hill is a public research university in Cave Hill, Barbados. It is one of five general campuses in the University of the West Indies system. It was the third campus to be established by the UWI System, following the Mona campus in Jamaica and the St. Augustine campus in Trinidad and Tobago.
Brushless DC electric motor. The motor from a 3.5 in floppy disk drive. The coils, arranged radially, are made from copper wire coated with blue insulation. The rotor (upper right) has been removed and turned upside-down. The grey ring inside its cup is a permanent magnet. This particular motor is an outrunner, with the stator inside the rotor.
Superconducting electric machines are electromechanical systems that rely on the use of one or more superconducting elements. Since superconductors have no DC resistance, they typically have greater efficiency. The most important parameter that is of utmost interest in superconducting machine is the generation of a very high magnetic field that ...
Armature control is the most common control technique for DC motors. In order to implement this control, the stator flux must be kept constant. To achieve this, either the stator voltage is kept constant or the stator coils are replaced by a permanent magnet. In the latter case, the motor is said to be a permanent magnet DC motor and is driven ...
