The previous work of Laumeister at GE on the experimental Delta electric car that debuted in 1968 helped pave the way for the production of the Elec-Trak. [2] Despite the limited production and availability of the electric tractors, many Elec-Traks are still in use today [ 3 ] and have a cult following among tractor and electric vehicle ...
An engine–generator is the combination of an electrical generator and an engine (prime mover) mounted together to form a single piece of equipment. This combination is also called an engine–generator set or a gen-set. In many contexts, the engine is taken for granted and the combined unit is simply called a generator. An engine–generator ...
As an example, consider the use of a 10 hp, 1760 r/min, 440 V, three-phase induction motor (a.k.a. induction electrical machine in an asynchronous generator regime) as asynchronous generator. The full-load current of the motor is 10 A and the full-load power factor is 0.8.
A generator can also be driven by human muscle power (for instance, in field radio station equipment). Protesters at Occupy Wall Street using bicycles connected to a motor and one-way diode to charge batteries for their electronics [22] Human powered electric generators are commercially available, and have been the project of some DIY ...
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.
The motor–generator set may contain a large flywheel to improve its ride-through; however, consideration must be taken in this application as the motor–generator will lose speed and may draw a large current when power returns or the circuit-breaker is re-closed. If the speed loss is excessive (the power outage is too long), the re-closure ...
The Oliver 80 was introduced in 1938 by developing the existing Oliver Hart-Parr 80 industrial tractor for row-crop use. The 80 was equipped with a Waukesha-Oliver four-cylinder 334-cubic-inch (5,470-cubic-centimetre) engine, developing 43 horsepower (32 kW), with three or four-gear transmissions.
