The Faraday generator is named for Michael Faraday's experiments on moving charged particles in the Thames River. A simple Faraday generator consists of a wedge-shaped pipe or tube of some non-conductive material. When an electrically conductive fluid flows through the tube, in the presence of a significant perpendicular magnetic field, a ...
The free-piston engine linear generators can be divided in 3 subsystems: [1] [2] One (or more) reaction section with a single or two opposite pistons; One (or more) linear electric generator, which is composed of a static part (the stator) and a moving part (the magnets) connected to the connection rod.
An electrostatic generator, or electrostatic machine, is an electrical generator that produces static electricity, or electricity at high voltage and low continuous current. The knowledge of static electricity dates back to the earliest civilizations, but for millennia it remained merely an interesting and mystifying phenomenon , without a ...
Arbitrary waveform generators may have distortion less than -55 dB below 50 kHz and less than -40 dB above 50 kHz. Some function generators can be phase locked to an external signal source, which may be a frequency reference or another function generator. Amplitude modulation (AM), frequency modulation (FM), or phase modulation (PM) may be ...
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.
Event generators are software libraries that generate simulated high-energy particle physics events. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] They randomly generate events as those produced in particle accelerators , collider experiments or the early universe.
Neutron generators are neutron source devices which contain compact linear particle accelerators and that produce neutrons by fusing isotopes of hydrogen together. The fusion reactions take place in these devices by accelerating either deuterium , tritium , or a mixture of these two isotopes into a metal hydride target which also contains ...
This Babcock & Wilcox nuclear steam generator moved in a special train (restricted to 20 mph) via the Penn Central Railroad and Southern Railway from Barberton, Ohio to a Duke Energy site in Oconee, S.C. This generator weights 1,140,000 lbs and is a record shipment for the Railroad at that time (1970). A once-through steam generator A VVER ...
