Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around finding an advanced engineering book that covers both electromagnetics and mechanics, particularly in the context of designing a machine that utilizes magnets to produce alternating current (AC). The scope includes theoretical and practical aspects, as well as the necessary mathematical foundations.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory
  • Technical explanation
  • Homework-related

Main Points Raised

  • One participant seeks a comprehensive engineering book that includes detailed mathematics for electromagnetics and mechanics, specifically for designing a turbine-like machine using magnets.
  • Another participant asserts that no single book exists that covers all necessary topics, suggesting that foundational mathematics and classical mechanics should be learned separately before tackling advanced texts.
  • A request is made for a list of books that could be studied sequentially to achieve the participant's goal.
  • Participants inquire about the current level of math and physics knowledge of the original poster to provide tailored recommendations.
  • The original poster lists their current understanding of various mathematical concepts and physics principles, including Newton's laws, energy types, momentum, and electromagnetic induction.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants generally agree that foundational knowledge in mathematics and classical mechanics is necessary before advancing to specialized engineering texts. However, there is no consensus on specific book recommendations or a clear path to the original poster's goal.

Contextual Notes

The discussion highlights the need for a solid understanding of mathematics and physics principles before engaging with advanced engineering topics. There are limitations in the original poster's current knowledge that may affect their ability to find suitable resources.

Who May Find This Useful

This discussion may be useful for high school students or early college students interested in engineering, particularly those focused on electromagnetics and mechanics, as well as those seeking guidance on educational resources in these fields.

Hello,
I have been developping a kind of a machine that uses magnets and metal and things like that to produce an AC . But the probleme is that i cannot do it unless i am 100% sure it is going to work properly so i want an engineering book for electromagnetics with some mechanics also for the gears and so on. I want all the maths included and with good details so i can be precise about what magnets to use and how to vary the magnetic flux ( and considere that i am in last year of high school and have a really good level in physics and maths so please give me something advanced) for now the probleme with it is :
_i don't know the exact mesures
_i don't know how the magnets will interact (magnets here are in the turbine)
_and i don't know the maths for spinning a turbin and how to predict its speed after some forces apply to it (mostly because it is shaped as a fan)
Thanks

Sorry, there is no such book. You're going to have to learn the math separately first before you can tackle books like this. You'll probably also need to tackle Classical Mechanics in a separate book first.

I see
Could you give me a list of books that i can do 1 by 1 to arrive to my goal please
 
Tell us the math and physics you're comfortable with and at which level

Math:
_Exponential
_logarithmic equations ( Ln )
_fonctions ( derivative integral symetry ...)
_conics (parables ellipses ..)
_numerical sequences
_trigonometry ( including arcsin ...)
_irrational equations
Physics:
_Newton's laws of motion
_energy (mechanical .gravitational potential. kinetic .elastic potential)
_momentum ( linear and angular)
_oscillations
_ 4 pendulums
_ electromagnetic induction
And by the end of the year i will have done much much more but that's for now
