Where Can I Find Online Resources to Pre-Learn Electromechanics?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on finding online resources for pre-learning electromechanics before a university course. The original poster expresses concern about a challenging professor and seeks to get ahead in the material. Several users recommend specific online courses and resources, including MIT's OpenCourseWare and NPTEL courses. The importance of obtaining the course textbook for early study is also emphasized. Overall, the thread highlights the need for preparation to cope with a difficult learning environment.

TLDR; I'm looking for a good online source for electromechanics material I can pre-learn prior to taking the course at university


Hi folks,
In the fall I'm starting my last semester of EE, and one of the courses we have to take is Electromechanics.
We just found out who the professor is for the course and sadly the prof assigned is the worst professor (by far) I've encountered across my 2 degrees. During the last course we had with him (the only one I figured I would have to take from him) he screamed at me in front of the entire class on a couple different occasions for such serious things as asking him to clarify what he had written on the white board.

Needless to say I'm now a bit worried about this course. I figure the best way I can handle the class is to not say anything to the prof and work hard giving him no room to piss on me.

One thing I'd like to do over the next month before classes start is get a head start on the material. Does anyone have a good online source for material I can take a look at??
Thanks
-Dave

Here is the course description:

This course covers the principles of electromechanical energy conversion and electric motors. A review of magnetic field behavior leads to magnetic circuit calculations and permanent magnet circuit behavior. Energy balance principles are used to develop force and torque relationships for many electromechanical applications including relays, meter movements and motor operation. Basic principles of motor operation such as rotating magnetic fields, efficiency and machine ratings are given as a prelude to an in depth presentation of AC and DC motor behavior. Emphasis is placed on motor control and application.

Maybe someone knows links to old US Army and Navy training films and books from 1950's ?

no no no, you GET to take Electromechanics. :-)

I WAS looking forward to the course till it was this prof...

Thanks for the links I shall start looking at them post haste :D
 
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...
