Magnetic manipulation systems designed to date have typically relied on either stationary electromagnetswhich facilitate straightforward real-time control, but result in large and complex systemsor slowly moving permanent magnetswhich generate strong fields, but are typically controlled in a quasistatic fashion. In the Telerobotics Lab at the University of Utah, we are exploring the use of smal...

recently, transverse flux permanent magnet generators (tfpmgs) have been proposed as a possible generator in direct drive variable speed wind turbines due to their unique merits. generally, the quality of output power in these systems is lower than multi stage fixed speed systems, because of removing the gears, so it’s important to design these kinds of generators with low ripple and lowest har...

Among all types of electrical motors, permanent magnet synchronous motors (PMSMs) are reliable and efficient motors in industrial applications. Because of their superiority over other kinds of motors, they are replacing conventional electric motors. On the other hand, high-phase PMSMs are good candidates to be used in certain industrial and military projects such as electric vehicles, spacecraf...

In this paper we use the Fourier transform (FT) to model and simulate the 3-D magnetic field created by finite, planar permanent magnet arrays that are Fourier-transformable and possess vertical magnetization. This approach captures the three dimensional characteristic of the fields, including the field components near the ends of the array. These end effects are important in small-scale precis...
