I've been thinking about an idea for a while now... what if you take a rail gun set up and instead of shooting something you turn it into a motor. Just make the rails into hoops that almost touch and connect the armature to a point in the center of this. I'm wondering how armature (now a rotor)...
So this is something I've been thinking about...
Let's say you have an engine and a motor.
The engine has high torque (let's just say 3,000 ft/lb) and low RPM (2 RPM) and you attach a huge gear to the end of it (10 ft circumference). A very small gear (1 inch circumference) is attached to...
That's right.. I read about the bearings (frictionless because they float I think) and I've checked out the AMSC site once or twice. I should look into how AMSC's motors/generators work some more.
Awesome! So, I don't know much about electrical engineering but it's super duper fun.
Hey, Bob S are there any good books or online recources where I can learn about the terms and equations you put down a little better? I'm a visual person too so anything with pics will be good. Thanks...
Hi all! It's my first post. :cool:
How is electrical energy sent into a superconducting loop for storage and taken out for use? Is there power loss during these actions?
Peace!
