What about a three beam structure? Mech_Engineer recommend that I look into using a "triangular truss structure." I drew it out and included pictures. Would this design increase stiffness or have any benefit over the four rod design? The dimensions are the same, just three rods in an equilateral...
Per your request, I included my best computer rendition of the design I have right now. I have another design that I redid with the triangular truss as well. I can include that in another post if necessary. The important thing to remember is that I need up to a foot of reach from the rods. My...
I need lateral stiffness as well as vertical stiffness. Wouldn't a triangulated truss structure compromise the lateral stiffness?
Threaded rods are for ease of design, assemble, and use. The original design has 15 inches of threaded rod so that the load on the end can be adjusted with nuts. I...
I am designing a rather complicated system that needs a certain level of precision. The design includes four (probably aluminum, possibly steel) threaded rods (1/2" diameter, 15" long) in the formation of a square that will support a load of around 6 pounds (load may vary). The dimensions of the...
First off, the electron will be directed in a helix around the wire moving parallel to the wire at a rate of 1000 m/s. The helix motion is caused by the magnetic force and the centrifugal force's equivalence. The direction of the force has to be perpendicular to the wire if you use the hand rule...
V = L\frac{di}{dt}
Where V is voltage, L is inductance, i is current and t is time. There has to be a change in current else there will be no induced Voltage. So the greater the change in current, the greater the induced Voltage. Simple as that.
The force would be equal to the centripetal acceleration*mass. If you are given the radius of curvature, then use the equation for centripetal acceleration*mass.
F = mv^2/R
the_emi_guy you were right! I figured it out with lot of help from Wikipedia shortly after posting this. The second coil is measuring the voltage induced from the emfs allowed through the superconductor. However, while the superconductor is in the Meissner state, it will create circular currents...
I am currently an intern at a superconductor lab and have been faced with a personal curiosity. I work with a device that determines the critical temperature at which the material stops superconducting. This device is composed of an electric temperature probe and two coils of wire which are...
