A Study of the Effect of Using Electrodynamic Wheels in Series
نویسنده
چکیده
The mechanical rotation of a radially positioned permanent magnet Halbach array above a conducting, non-magnetic, track generates a travelling time-varying field that can inductively create suspension and propulsion forces simultaneously. This ‘Electrodynamic Wheel’(EDW) could be used to create a relatively cheap form of maglev transportation since the track would only consist of thin sheets of aluminum and no track electrification is necessary. The effect of using multiple EDW’s in series is studied by using 2D steady-state finite element analysis. It is shown that the thrust efficiency can be considerably improved by increasing the number of EDW's used in series. A comparison is made between an EDW driven maglev vehicle and other maglev vehicle systems.

Design of an Adaptive-Neural Network Attitude Controller of a Satellite using Reaction Wheels
In this paper, an adaptive attitude control algorithm is developed based on neural network for a satellite using four reaction wheels in a tetrahedron configuration. Then, an attitude control based on feedback linearization control is designed and uncertainties in the moment of inertia matrix and disturbances torque have been considered. In order to eliminate the effect of these uncertainties, ...

In driving and when you brake, a lot of energy is dissipated to stop the car; especially in urban areas where the vehicle is driving in a stop-and-go pattern. This energy, which is dissipated by the brake pads, can be stored in the vehiclechr('39')s battery. In Hybrid and Electric Vehicles, a regenerative brake can be used alongside the mechanical brakes to regenerate some energy while braking....
