  2. Magnetohydrodynamic generator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetohydrodynamic_generator

    First, they cause simple parallel field lines. Second, because the fluid is processed in a disk, the magnet can be closer to the fluid, and in this geometry, magnetic field strengths increase as the 7th power of distance. Finally, the generator is compact, so the magnet is smaller and uses a much smaller percentage of the generated power.

  3. Permanent magnet synchronous generator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Permanent_magnet...

    A permanent magnet synchronous generator is a generator where the excitation field is provided by a permanent magnet instead of a coil. The term synchronous refers here to the fact that the rotor and magnetic field rotate with the same speed, because the magnetic field is generated through a shaft-mounted permanent magnet mechanism, and current is induced into the stationary armature.

  4. Explosive-driven ferromagnetic generator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Explosive-driven...

    A generator coupling an EDFMG containing an 8.75 cm 3 of magnetic material with a spiral vector inversion generator yielded a pulse of amplitude over 40 kilovolts with a rise time of 6.2 nanoseconds. [4] Generators delivering pulses over 50 kV and 5 kA were demonstrated. [5] Ultra-compact generators with diameter less than 50 mm were developed.

    Commutator of the Woolrich Electrical Generator. The first electrical machine used for an industrial process was a magneto, the Woolrich Electrical Generator. [3] In 1842 John Stephen Woolrich was granted UK patent 9431 for the use of an electrical generator in electroplating, rather than batteries.

  6. Excitation (magnetic) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Excitation_(magnetic)

    An electric generator or electric motor consists of a rotor spinning in a magnetic field. The magnetic field may be produced by permanent magnets or by field coils . In the case of a machine with field coils, a current must flow in the coils to generate ( excite ) the field, otherwise no power is transferred to or from the rotor.

  7. Explosively pumped flux compression generator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Explosively_pumped_flux...

    The magnetic flux threading the ring, represented by five field lines, is reduced by the same ratio as the area of the ring. The variation of the magnetic flux induces a current (red arrows) in the ring by Faraday's law of induction, which in turn creates a new magnetic field circling the wire (green arrows) by Ampere's circuital law. The new ...

  8. Magnet motor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnet_motor

    [4] [5] A popular example of a magnet motor, although without rotating axis, was put forward by John Wilkins in 1670: A ramp with a magnet at the top, which pulled a metal ball up the ramp. Near the magnet was a small hole that was supposed to allow the ball to drop under the ramp and return to the bottom, where a flap allowed it to return to ...

  9. Magnetohydrodynamic drive - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetohydrodynamic_drive

    Yamato 1 on display in Kobe, Japan.The first working full-scale MHD ship. A magnetohydrodynamic drive or MHD accelerator is a method for propelling vehicles using only electric and magnetic fields with no moving parts, accelerating an electrically conductive propellant (liquid or gas) with magnetohydrodynamics.
