• Virtual Engineering Lab for Motor Testing and Development
  , Electro Standards Laboratories (ESL) has developed a collaborative testing and experimentation platform for electric motor and power systems that can be operated in real time over the Internet using standard Web browsers. This platform operates as a virtual engineering laboratory (VE-Lab) that allows...
• The Potential of Switched Reluctance Motor Technology for Electro-Mechanical Brake Applications (.pdf)
  . various braking-related control functions (like Brake-by-. motor for an EMB application, especially a brushless PM. Wire, Integrated Electric Parking Brake, ABS, TCS,. motor with low winding resistance, is the uncontrollable. ACC, Electronic Stability Enhancement), the promise of. generator effect...
• Feedback on speed
  to or integrated into motors typically add size and expense. The engineers at Johnson Electric went back to basics to come up with a configuration that did not. They used a permanent-magnet direct-current (PMDC) motor in creating their new sensor. When the armature in a PMDC motor rotates, various...
• MCM : A New Technology in Predictive Maintenance
  for early fault prediction in electric motors. The basic principal of this approach is to compare the dynamic behaviour of the actual motor with its mathematical model. The model consists of a set of differential equations, which describe the electromechanical behaviour of the motor. MCM uses real-time...
• Go for a walk?
  in industrial robots, use electric motors or some other actuator that can be made to act like a spring through software. (In such a set up, the motor or actuator responds to displacement by applying a force equal to the spring constant multiplied times displacement, or f = kx, the classic spring...
• Sensorless Switched-Reluctance Generators: a Technology Read for Aerospace Applications
  Commercial, combat, and cargo aircraft face an ever-increasing demand for more electrification, a concept called "More Electric Aircraft." Actually today's modern aircraft consume something between 10 and 60 kilowatts of electricity depending on their size and architecture. The mechanical...
• Teaching With Toys
  parts move and turn, demonstrating the mechanical operation of the real engine. Major components include the crankshaft, pistons, rods, rocker arms, valves, and camshafts. Chrome parts and a display base are also included. There's even an electric motor operated by 3 AA batteries to put the model...
• Toys that teach
  the crankshaft, pistons, cam, and valves move when you push a button that activates a small electric motor. Pushing the button also plays sound recorded from an actual Hemi 426. Other details include fuel lines and belts connecting moving parts such as the fan, water pump, alternator, and flywheel...
• Building a 1,000 mph car
  Building the world's fastest car is one thing. Proving that it's the fastest is another. One of the major challenges in the latter is finding a spot on Earth suitable for the speed trials. It must be flat and straight. It also helps if it's near modern conveniences such as electric power and a fully...
• IR Camera: Public Relations Tool
  we have. time to check it out. Here is a situation where too. much heat is bad. Images courtesy of Monroe. Infrared. Figure 8. This electric motor needs to be checked. It may be overloaded or not have enough cooling. If. this is an extreme duty, high temperature motor,. everything may be perfectly...
