AI Thread Summary
To design a hand-driven AC generator, it is essential to understand the relationship between the number of coil loops and the voltage and current output. Increasing the number of loops typically results in higher voltage but lower current, as indicated by Faraday's Law of Electromagnetic Induction. For energy storage, the generated electrical energy can be directed to a battery, requiring a suitable rectifier to convert AC to DC. Additionally, understanding the magnetic field strength and coil rotation speed is crucial for optimizing energy output. Proper analysis and calculations will ensure effective design and energy storage solutions.

Hello

I am supposed to design a hand driven AC generator. I kinda know how to do it. You just have some sort of coil and you rotate it in a magnetic field. Thats all good but for analysis part I am required to give specific information information about no of loops of the coil and total energy out including voltage and and current stuff. So far I haven't found anything linking coil loops with voltage/current output etc. All I have managed to find, well I got it off a seminar that since more photovoltic cells => more voltage and less current. Therfore more coil loops=> more voltage and less current.
This is where I need help with. I need something that relates coil loops etc with Voltage and current output in a constant field.

Thanks

kool...farady's laws...flux and stuff...coil l in mgf B etc...its all coming back...just another question on that...

If I was to store X joules of energy from it to a battery? how would I do it?
 

Thread 'Query on Isentropic relationships (such as PV^gamma = constant)'

Hi all, I have a question. So from the derivation of the Isentropic process relationship PV^gamma = constant, there is a step dW = PdV, which can only be said for quasi-equilibrium (or reversible) processes. As such I believe PV^gamma = constant (and the family of equations) should not be applicable to just adiabatic processes? Ie, it should be applicable only for adiabatic + reversible = isentropic processes? However, I've seen couple of online notes/books, and...

Thread 'Dry sump pump issue'

I have an engine that uses a dry sump oiling system. The oil collection pan has three AN fittings to use for scavenging. Two of the fittings are approximately on the same level, the third is about 1/2 to 3/4 inch higher than the other two. The system ran for years with no problem using a three stage pump (one pressure and two scavenge stages). The two scavenge stages were connected at times to any two of the three AN fittings on the tank. Recently I tried an upgrade to a four stage pump...
