AI Thread Summary
TWM's 15 x 30-inch motor prototype is projected to generate 600 HP and 5,000 VAC, sufficient to power multiple pickup trucks, and is based on a superconducting design rather than conventional electric motor technology. The feasibility of this claim is debated, with some citing previous successful implementations of nitrogen-cooled superconductive machines that deliver high mechanical output in compact forms. Additionally, there is a discussion about the challenges of promoting renewable energy solutions, like a 12-foot Stirling dish, among neighbors, even those with scientific backgrounds, who resist innovative energy solutions due to aesthetic concerns or approval processes. The conversation highlights a broader struggle in adopting advanced energy technologies despite their potential benefits. Overall, the discussion emphasizes the potential of superconducting technology and the societal hurdles in embracing renewable energy initiatives.

TWM's 15 x 30-inch motor prototype is expected to produce 600 HP and 5,000 VAC -- enough to power a pickup truck. Is this claim really possible? I am not an electrical engineer. Please check the patent attached(link) here.

I have no idea if it's feasible..but note it's a SUPERCONDUCTING design not a conventional room temperature electric motor...
 
Thats actually enough to power two pickup trucks. But yes, I think its feasible. I've seen some nitrogen cooled superconductive machines before that can generate ridiculous amounts of mechanical work in very small packages.
 
Well, and, I've been trying to get my folks and their 4 neighbors to allow the installation of a 12' stirling dish that would supply 80% of their year-round electrical energy needs at a 4.5-year break-even point, but not for just one house-hold. For three.

They don't get it! Half of them are well-versed in the sciences, but even still, they're not willing to get involved. Some claim, "I don't think our architectural committe would approve," to which I would respond, PHOOEY! We're well beyond the point of where doing what's right is based on whether or not something "looks good."

And stirling dishes look good, at least the same as the dishes still sitting in their yards from 20 years ago.
 
Very basic question. Consider a 3-terminal device with terminals say A,B,C. Kirchhoff Current Law (KCL) and Kirchhoff Voltage Law (KVL) establish two relationships between the 3 currents entering the terminals and the 3 terminal's voltage pairs respectively. So we have 2 equations in 6 unknowns. To proceed further we need two more (independent) equations in order to solve the circuit the 3-terminal device is connected to (basically one treats such a device as an unbalanced two-port...
suppose you have two capacitors with a 0.1 Farad value and 12 VDC rating. label these as A and B. label the terminals of each as 1 and 2. you also have a voltmeter with a 40 volt linear range for DC. you also have a 9 volt DC power supply fed by mains. you charge each capacitor to 9 volts with terminal 1 being - (negative) and terminal 2 being + (positive). you connect the voltmeter to terminal A2 and to terminal B1. does it read any voltage? can - of one capacitor discharge + of the...
Thread 'Weird near-field phenomenon I get in my EM simulation'
I recently made a basic simulation of wire antennas and I am not sure if the near field in my simulation is modeled correctly. One of the things that worry me is the fact that sometimes I see in my simulation "movements" in the near field that seems to be faster than the speed of wave propagation I defined (the speed of light in the simulation). Specifically I see "nodes" of low amplitude in the E field that are quickly "emitted" from the antenna and then slow down as they approach the far...
