Discover how to convert a small AC electric motor into an efficient electricity generator using basic tools and materials.
The latest in-line shaft generator from ABB is designed to enable ship operators to benefit from the multiple advantages of permanent magnet technology. The new generator brings flexibility and ease ...
In our latest episode of Lexicon, we sat down with Tom Grainger, Commercial Vice ...
Nowadays, a large proportion of the world’s energy production is based on fossil fuels. The use of these non-renewable resources contributes significantly to greenhouse gas emissions, adding to ...
Dual-stator permanent magnet motors (DSPMMs) have the advantages of fast control response, high torque density, and strong overload capacity, and thus are widely used in CNC machine tools, heavy ...
A number of readers questioned the veracity of the technology presented in this article. To address their concerns, we did a follow-up, which can be found here. Permanent magnets are an integral part ...
The electric motors that power today’s EVs rely on permanent magnets made using rare-earth metals such as neodymium. Rare earths are the 15 elements whose atomic numbers run from 57 to 71, plus ...
An introduction to the symmetric, multiphase, wound-rotor “synchronous” doubly-fed motor or generator system, called SYNCHRO-SYM. How SYNCHRO-SYM is only possible with brushless, automatic, ...
Disc motors are permanent-magnet stepping motors that exhibit performance comparable to that of hybrid motors. Rotors in disc motors are thin (typically less than 1-mm) discs, unlike the cylindrical ...
