This study presents a method for fabrication of ultrafine polymeric nanofibers as well as nano/micro particles utilizing centrifugal and electrostatic forces simultaneously. To reduce the diameter and variety of nanofibers produced from solid state polymerized PA66, a unique electrocentrifuge spinning device was utilized with a rotating nozzle and collector, while the fabrication process (spinn...

A modified close cycle helium gas cryogenic system was used to measure the flux drag torque acting on a free spinning disk magnet by a single grain YBCO superconductor. It was found that at low spinning speed ( less than 8 Hz ) and constant levitation height, the flux drag torque decreased with temperature which behavior is roughly similar to the temperature dependence of the reciprocal of crit...

Active magnetic bearings enable contactless operation and can therefore be used for supporting rotors spinning at high speeds. However, the rotational speed in conventional reluctance-force-based magnetic bearing topologies is limited, which is mainly due to high rotor losses and limited force control bandwidths. In this paper, a prototype of a self-bearing motor is presented, which overcomes s...
