When deriving the natural level of output i am confused as to how the leap is made in the last two lines. P = P(1+μ)F(1-Y/L,z) => 1 = (1+μ)F(1-Y/L,z) => Yn = h(μ,L,z) I understand how the mark-up, Total Labour and variable factors are the factors of the natural level but how does...

First of all, if you have a generator with an open circuit, and you are pedal powering it, where does the energy go? I would say it is lost as heat, but not sure what could heat up. The coils in the generator itself? Next, what happens if you short the output of a generator? Does it make it...

Hello! I'm currently working on a solenoid and trying to simulate the response of a ferrous rod in the coil. I've been using FEMM 4.2 for my magnetostatic simulations, and Pspice Schematics 9.1 for the circuit part. I was thinking of combining the two by using scripts to let FEMM run through...
