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:
