Generator / induction formulas help

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around calculating the current and voltage induced in a Faraday disc setup with stationary coils and a rotor. The user seeks formulas to determine these values based on the frequency and field strength of the exciter coils. Additionally, they want to calculate the magnetic field strength in the rotor poles and the output from the stator coils influenced by the rotor's magnetic field. Suggestions include using electromagnetic simulation software for accurate modeling and measurements, as well as the potential need for a physical prototype for practical insights. Overall, leveraging simulation tools is emphasized as a key approach to solving these electromagnetic calculations.

Hi , before I ask I want to say that I have done my “ homework” I did a search on this forums and I found a few hits but I couldn’t quite understand them or the numbers turned out wrong after I did my calculations. So I wanted to make a fresh thread , hope you folks will guide me , thanks.
So I have a set of coils and a faraday disc inbetween them , the disc is mounted on a rotor axis at both ends , so are the coils which are stationary , then the two faraday discs are connected with a wire which in the middle makes several turns on a pole attached to the rotor.In other words the two disc are connected with a conductor which makes a few turn solenoid in the middle and all of this is mounted on a rotor. Around the rotor is a stationary stator with some coils on it either made of enamel wire or copper foil depending on the design.
The stator coil is connected with a capacitor to the exciter coils for the faraday disc so that I get ac induction.So here is what I can’t calculate on my own , a formula with some explanation would be great.

I want to calculate the current and voltage induced in the disc at both ends depending on the frequency and field strength of the exciter coils.
Then I want to calculate the b field strength in the rotor poles when I will know how much current the faraday discs can supply at both ends.
And I guess the same for the final output coils mounted on the stator which would see the rotating b field of the rotor poles and armature which in fact would be created from the disc at each end of the rotor.

If you need any extra info to help me out or a drawing please ask.
Thank you.

Such problems are best to attack with softwares for electromagnetic field simulation
 
Any more help please?
 
I think an electromagnetic solver is your best hope. If you plan to do a lot of this sort of thing, it is worth investing the time to learn the tools.

Otherwise, you probably need to build a prototype and make measurements.

With a physical drawing, someone may be able to help a bit more (but not me).
 
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 have recently moved into a new (rather ancient) house and had a few trips of my Residual Current breaker. I dug out my old Socket tester which tell me the three pins are correct. But then the Red warning light tells me my socket(s) fail the loop test. I never had this before but my last house had an overhead supply with no Earth from the company. The tester said "get this checked" and the man said the (high but not ridiculous) earth resistance was acceptable. I stuck a new copper earth...
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...
