RPM independent grid tie induction generator

AI Thread Summary
An AC induction motor can function as a DC amplifier when torque is applied, enabling the creation of an RPM independent grid tie induction generator. This generator operates effectively with variable US grid configurations, generating more power as it turns faster, as long as it remains below 10% of its synchronous RPM. Unlike traditional generators, it does not require synchronous speeds to generate electricity, which represents a significant improvement. While induction motors have been used for this purpose historically, the discussion clarifies misconceptions about their classification as DC amplifiers. Overall, the conversation emphasizes the innovative potential of induction generators in energy production.

Through our research we discover that an AC induction motor can act as a DC amplifier, as long as there is torque making it turns. Applying the process we are able to build RPM independent grid tie induction generator. Tested with variable US grid at consumer configuration.
Similar to PMA (Permanent magnet Alternator), the faster it turn the more power it generates out to the grid, regardless how fast/slow it is turning. as long as is less then 10% of the built-in synchronous RPM. The improvement lays in the fact that it does not require the torque/speed to be synchronous RPM+ in order for it to act as generator.

Induction Motor/Generator has been as such for the long long time. And we all own Tesla for his genius inventions.

To be informative and and for the "good will" purpose on what can be done, not to be understood as "promoter"; I do not post the link here. However a Google search on the title may give you some directions.

As you said, induction generators are nothing new. Yes they convert mechanical power to electric power. But no they are not DC amplifiers. I don't understand what you mean by that.
 
While I was rolling out a shielded cable, a though came to my mind - what happens to the current flow in the cable if there came a short between the wire and the shield in both ends of the cable? For simplicity, lets assume a 1-wire copper wire wrapped in an aluminum shield. The wire and the shield has the same cross section area. There are insulating material between them, and in both ends there is a short between them. My first thought, the total resistance of the cable would be reduced...
Hi all I have some confusion about piezoelectrical sensors combination. If i have three acoustic piezoelectrical sensors (with same receive sensitivity in dB ref V/1uPa) placed at specific distance, these sensors receive acoustic signal from a sound source placed at far field distance (Plane Wave) and from broadside. I receive output of these sensors through individual preamplifiers, add them through hardware like summer circuit adder or in software after digitization and in this way got an...
I am not an electrical engineering student, but a lowly apprentice electrician. I learn both on the job and also take classes for my apprenticeship. I recently wired my first transformer and I understand that the neutral and ground are bonded together in the transformer or in the service. What I don't understand is, if the neutral is a current carrying conductor, which is then bonded to the ground conductor, why does current only flow back to its source and not on the ground path...
