  2. Unipolar motor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unipolar_motor

    A unipolar motor (also called homopolar motor) is a direct current (DC) motor typically with slip-rings on each end of a cylindrical rotor and field magnets or a DC field winding generating a magnetic field on the stator. The rotor has typically not a winding but just straight connections in axial direction between the slip-rings (e.g. a copper ...

  3. Pure homopolar motor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pure_homopolar_motor

    A pure homopolar motor (PHM) [1] [2] [3] is an electric motor not requiring brushes, electronics, or semiconductor parts to convert direct current into torque.In other words, this homopolar motor only requires a theoretical homogeneous or actual (constantly or cyclically) homogenized magnetic field and direct current, similarly to the Faraday Homopolar Motor (FHM).

    Polestar's showroom in Oslo, Norway. In October 2017, Volvo Cars and Geely Holding announced that Polestar would become a standalone brand focusing on electric cars. [27] The brand introduced the Polestar 1 on 17 October 2017, a 2+2 coupé inspired by Volvo's Concept Coupé introduced in 2013, which includes influences from the Volvo P1800.

  5. Magnetic monopole - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetic_monopole

    In a non-U(1) compact Lie group, the covering space is a Lie group with the same Lie algebra, but where all closed loops are contractible. Lie groups are homogeneous, so that any cycle in the group can be moved around so that it starts at the identity, then its lift to the covering group ends at P , which is a lift of the identity.

  6. Polar aprotic solvent - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polar_aprotic_solvent

    A polar aprotic solvent is a solvent that lacks an acidic proton and is polar. Such solvents lack hydroxyl and amine groups. In contrast to protic solvents, these solvents do not serve as proton donors in hydrogen bonding, although they can be proton acceptors. Many solvents, including chlorocarbons and hydrocarbons, are classifiable as aprotic ...

  7. Drag curve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drag_curve

    The drag curve or drag polar is the relationship between the drag on an aircraft and other variables, such as lift, the coefficient of lift, angle-of-attack or speed. It may be described by an equation or displayed as a graph (sometimes called a "polar plot"). [1] Drag may be expressed as actual drag or the coefficient of drag.
