    Law Lenz's law
AI Thread Summary
Lenz's law does not impede electromagnetic induction; rather, it describes the direction of induced currents. Generators do not require a minimum RPM to operate effectively, contradicting the initial assumption. The discussion emphasizes the importance of scientific reasoning and experimentation over philosophical speculation. Participants encourage constructive dialogue and further exploration of the topic. Overall, the conversation highlights a misunderstanding of fundamental principles in electromagnetism.

Hello to all,

Is the electromagnetic induction impeded by Lenz's law?
Is this why the generators must have a minimum RPM?
Is there any way to go around it?

My motivation for the question resides in my being a philosopher of science. That means that I dabble in pretty much anything that science is purported to explain - but it doesn't. The "quantic" manifolded bewilderment among the very physicists is testimony to that.
(If I went on along this line, I would never be able to post my question.)

Thus, it is for precisely this reason that I address my question to engineers.
When, and if, someone answers this constructively, I will offer my further ruminations on the subject - if the respondent is not averse to it.

Thank you in advance, and glad to meet your open mind!

Hello Adeborts, welcome to PF :smile: !

Open mind is one thing. dabbling is something else ! Scientists usually prefer scientific reasoning :rolleyes: and ultimately experiment decides !

The answer to your first question is: no.
The answer to your second question is: No. And generators do not have a minimum rpm. Where did you get that 'fact' ?
So the answer to your third question is now no longer relevant.

Look forward to your further ... ruminations

All in good spirit, of course :smile:

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...
Hello dear reader, a brief introduction: Some 4 years ago someone started developing health related issues, apparently due to exposure to RF & ELF related frequencies and/or fields (Magnetic). This is currently becoming known as EHS. (Electromagnetic hypersensitivity is a claimed sensitivity to electromagnetic fields, to which adverse symptoms are attributed.) She experiences a deep burning sensation throughout her entire body, leaving her in pain and exhausted after a pulse has occurred...
