Kilovoltage energy imaging with a radiotherapy linac with a continuously variable energy range.
PURPOSE In this paper, the effect on image quality of significantly reducing the primary electron energy of a radiotherapy accelerator is investigated using a novel waveguide test piece. The waveguide contains a novel variable coupling device (rotovane), allowing for a wide continuously variable energy range of between 1.4 and 9 MeV suitable for both imaging and therapy. METHOD Imaging at lin...
متن کاملA continuously rotating energy harvester with maximum power point tracking
In this paper, we analyse and demonstrate an energy-harvesting generator powered by continuous rotation, using gravitational torque to enable a single point of attachment. The electro-mechanical behaviour of the generator is presented, alongside experimental results from an implementation based on a conventional dc motor. The off-axis performance is also modelled. The design and experimental re...
متن کاملSuperconducting, energy variable heavy ion linac with constant , multicell cavities of CH-type
An energy variable ion linac consisting of multigap, constantcavities was developed. The effect of phase sliding, unavoidable in any constantsection, is leading to a coherent rf phase motion, which fits well to the H-type structures with their long -mode sections and separated lenses. The exact periodicity of the cell lengths within each cavity results in technical advantages, such as higher ca...
متن کاملDesign of Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) with Metal Pushing Belt and Variable Pulleys
Nowadays, automakers have invested in new technologies in order to improve the efficiency of their products. Giant automakers have taken an important step toward achieving this objective by designing continuously variable transmission systems (CVT) to continuously adapt the power of the engine with the external load according to the optimum efficiency curve of e...
متن کاملOptimal Control of a Variable-Speed Wind Energy Conversion System: A New Approach
The operation of wind energy conversion systems mainly deals with variable and unpredictable wind regimes resulting in variable power efficiency. In addition, nowadays with the presence of high penetration level of wind farms integrated to power systems, stability and power quality problems might be addressed, when a disturbance event occurs. These challenges are worsened with significant degre...
