How to Build a Spark Gap Tesla Coil (SGTC): Shoot foot-long bolts of lighting through the air, light fluorescent tubes without wires, and power your other high voltage experiments with the aid of this tabletop-sized Tesla coil! Once the parts have arri
The plug also has to withstand the extreme heat and pressure inside the cylinder, and it must be designed so that deposits from fuel additives do not build up on the plug. Spark plugs use a ceramic insert to isolate the high voltage at the electrode, ensuring that the spark happens at ...
Wave winding: In this type of winding, each coil end is connected to a commutator segment that is distant from it by one pole pitch and to another coil end on the opposite side of the armature. The type of winding depends on the number of parallel paths for current flow in the armature...
The coming "The Eleventh Five-year" period is the crucial time for the construction of a well-off society, and is to fulfill the idea of scientific development, to accelerate the economic adjustment, to improve the innovative capability. How to change from a big manufacturing country into a ...
The Model T, known for its affordability and simplicity, propelled Ford to success, but the transition to the new Model A was costly in terms of both money and customer goodwill. Despite strong competition and the onset of the Great Depression, the Model A was a success, and Ford continued...
By the early Nineties, Shigeno was struggling to build upon his initial success. Several subsequent series failed to attract large audiences. At his friend’s suggestion, he started drawing the story of a disaffected young man who stuns the local street-racing scene, outrunning the best of...
China’s Ambitious Plan to Build the World's Biggest Supergrid by Peter Fairley, IEEE Spectrum, 21 Feb 2019. Slightly less relevant but still interesting, this article explores China's vast, smart dual AC-DC power grid. Case studies Voltage optimization case studies: powerPerfector, one of th...
Learn how your meter works and save on your power bill. Also further your career as a meter tech or lineman by learning more about how meters work.
In this Arduino Tutorial we will learn how to control a Stepper Motor using the A4988 Stepper Driver. The A4988 is a microstepping driver for controlling bipolar stepper motors which has built-in translator for easy operation. This means that we can cont
through the control winding will cause a build-up of magnetic flux in the iron core. The greater the flux, the lower will be the impedance of the output winding. With a lower impedance in the circuit, more current will flow from the a.c. power supply through the output winding and...
