Electric motors are used in many tools and vehicles. In drones and electric aircraft, they are most often controlled with a throttle controller and ESC. When you increase the throttle on your controller, what you are doing is increasing the amount of electrical power drawn from your power suppl...
3. Where Eddy Currents are Undesirable: - Transformers: In transformers, eddy currents can lead to significant energy losses, affecting efficiency. - Electric Motors: In motors, excessive heat from eddy currents can damage windings and reduce lifespan. - Generators: Similar to motors, generators ca...
Magnets are also vital components in CRT televisions, speakers, microphones, generators, transformers, electric motors, burglar alarms, cassette tapes, compasses and car speedometers. In addition to their practical uses, magnets have numerous amazing properties. They can induce current in wire and ...
This combination of diesel engine and electric generators and motors makes the locomotive a hybrid vehicle. In this article, we'll start by learning why locomotives are built this way and why they have steel wheels. Then we'll look at the layout and key components. Contents Why Hybrid? Wh...

The chip has an integrated circuit etched onto a flexible surface, similar to components on the circuit boards inside your computer. As the "nano-" prefix implies, these generators are a piece of nanotechnology, or technology so small its size is measured by the nanometer (one billionth of a...
Learn about RTD sensors (Resistance Thermometer Detectors), types of RTD sensors, how they work, and how to measure temperature with Dewesoft DAQ systems.
EV motors aren’t just motors — they can also act like generators. When you brake your EV, the mechanical force of the slowing vehicle spins the rotor, which produces current flowing through the stator, back up to the battery. Since much of the force needed for slowing down a vehicle is...
The policy was not stringent enough to drive demand for alternative technologies and thus did not exert a trajectory-changing demand-pull effect. Barbieri (2016) showed that increases in fuel prices, which may favor electric and more fuel-efficient vehicles, are positively associated with the ...
For a general definition you could say: the three phase alternating pole winding creates a single sinusoidal magnetic field with magnetic poles whose width and distance apart are equal to the distance between two electric poles of the same phase. The number of magnetic poles therefore equals the ...
