AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on the search for dielectric couplings, specifically for use in HVAC systems, with a shaft diameter of around 3 inches. The user is seeking information on businesses that sold these couplings during the mid-1990s and is curious about the torque specifications and the feasibility of using dielectric shafts, which can withstand high voltages, such as 750,000 volts. A reference is made to a historical setup at Fermilab involving a Cockroft Walton generator and a high-voltage shield. The user expresses difficulty in finding relevant suppliers or historical information about these components. The conversation highlights the niche nature of dielectric couplings and their applications in high-voltage environments.

Hello,

I am looking to purchase Dielectric couplings. I am located in the east coast (NY/NJ).

I am having trouble finding these, any help is appreciated.

Does anyone know any businesses who sold these during the mid 1990's ?

Dielectric universal shaft joint couplings? What shaft diameter and what torque? What about using dielectric shafts? I have seen one hold off about 750,000 volts.

thanks for your response

I hope this will help you i am looking for ones in this context "coupling was used in an HVAC
system" "3 inch"

The attached photo shows the 750,000-volt Cockroft Walton at Fermilab. The tower on the right is the Cockroft Walton. The tower at left is the high voltage shield with the ion source. At the base is a multi-horsepoawer motor. There is a vertical Lucite or Plexiglass rod, ~2" or 3" in diameter, that the motor runs to drive an alternator inside the high-voltage shield. Unfortunately, the rod is hidden from view. It was built ~1970. I do not know of anybody who remembers where it came from.

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...
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...
