I am going to design 10 kw, Permanent Magnet, Direct Drive Wind Turbine Generator. The main problem is, how to determine the rotational speed of the Wind Turbine. This is important for me because I have to design the PMG and its rated rpm values...

I thought some of you engineers would be interested in reading my web tutorials. I have written some extensive tutorials on the theory and building of a homemade N2 gas generator. It takes regular air, and using pressure swing adsorption, concentrates the N2 up to 99%. This is here. I then...

ok this is an example: Frequency = 180 Hz Amplitude = 0.5 db Beat = 4 Hz waveform sampling rate is 44100 Hz ok 1) Which the information above, does that mean that every 11025 samples there should be an beat ( meaning 0 s) ? The math I...

I appreciate your attention. This question concerns the generators connected to an infinite bus. I would like to know the details of the chain of event that leads from the rotating turbine to the electrical power "put onto" the grid. Just a simple mechanical to electrical energy conservation...

Hi All, I am thinking about building a simple electrical generator, and I am trying to make sure I clearly understand the theory and expected results before starting the project. I have two basic questions: 1) How do I calculate the generators maximum current and wattage, if i know the...

I want to design a multiphase clock generator circuit and control logic. The circuit will have a 250 MHz clock and the circuit will generate three non-overlapping clock phrases running at 50 MHz. Each clock phase has an associated output driver that can drive up to a 10pF load with no more than...

Hello Wizards! I'm trying to use a stepper motor as a wind powered generator. I connected some resistors to one coil of the motor, and turned the motor with a drill, while reading the voltages. The power ( watts ) number I came up with seems too high. Am I missing something...

Where the electrons come from? Do they leave the sphere or the object? Or maybe even the rubber band inside the generator? I'm having a hard time figuring this out. Also, how does this prove the charge of the sphere?

how would you calculate the resistance required for a resistor which is in series with a generator (DC motor in reverse) to achieve a certain torque from the generator? Eg, there's a torque of 30kN acting on a 100kW generator while it moves at 50RPM. The is the same mechanism as electric...

Hi, If you turn the bit in an electric drill will it generate electricity? What would you need to do for it to produce enough electricity to feed back into the grid?

Helloo, I don't understand how one arrives at the conclusion that the hamiltonian is a generating function. When you have an infinitesimal canonical transformation like: Q_{i}=q_{i}+ \delta q_{i} P_{i}=p_{i}+\delta p_{i} Then the generating function is: F_{2}=q_{i}P_{i}+ \epsilon...

Hi, Why won't a generator composed of a stator that has 9 coils (each connected to it's neighbour in a ring until line out), and a rotor that has 10 permanent n50 magnets (NSNS...) generate useable electricity?

Hi, I am making a Simulink model for the drive cycle of a hybrid bus. My bus is using a gas turbine engine to power a generator which then charges the batteries. I have a motor model which I have attached a screenshot of, and I know I can use this as a generator also. I just have no idea...

My area of concern is C) and if I am correct in assuming it is like Faradays cage, but I am new to all this so I also put down A and B also. If you charge up a Van de Graaff Generator and then bring an identical but uncharged hollow conducting sphere near it, without letting the two spheres...

How to understand "momentum is the generator of translation" ? "As it is known from classical mechanics, the momentum is the generator of translation", it is from WIKI, (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Momentum_operator) I don't understand its meaning. T(ε) is translation operator, then...

Ok this one is purely theoretical and I'm going to just make some assumptions. 1. No Debris will block the way. 2. Its A vacuum 3.The structure won't collapse. Ok, first we drill a hole through one side the Earth and out the other. We then wrap the new whole in a superconducting coil of wire...

Hello, I'm building a generator and have completed initial phase. I made coil with 300 turns, which gives me 12v when rotor is turned at 2000rpm, if I short the coil it gives me 16 amp. 1] Now I'm wondering what is the output wattage of the generator I built / described? 2] If I use 18...

Hi there , I would like to understand more about how exactly current is induced in a homopolar generator aka Faraday disc ? I have read some papers on this subject and so on and as far as I understand in a normal generator current is induced because magnetic field lines travel through a loop of...

What seems like a simple fix turns out not to be so simple. Question, I have an old mill with a waterwheel. The shaft turns at 100 RPM. We figure based on what was there a minimum 300HP so 300 x 746 watts per HP, this has the potential to generate 223.8 Kw’s of electricity. A 72 pole...

Hey guys, I built up this design for a hand-powered crank generator with four neodymium magnets, but am having trouble getting a reading through a voltmeter. I want to try and amplify the voltage as well but that will come later. Here is our setup http://imgur.com/a/0aM4W#0 I am not...

We know that observables correspond to hermitian operators on the Hilbert space of physical states of the system. We also know, via Wigner theorem, that for each symmetry there is a linear unitary operator (or anti-linear and anti-unitary). In the case of a continuous symmetry, that is in the...

How does a random number generator work ? What is the usage of it ?

Hello~ I've got a confusing question; "If a Van de Graaff generator is charged to 50,000 volts, how much energy does it take to add an additional electron to the charge on the sphere?" (The charge of an electron is given as -1.6 x 10^{-19}C) My answer: (50,000 V)( -1.6 x 10^{-19}C) = 8.0 x...
