Psychological reactance occurs in response to threats posed to perceived behavioral freedoms. Research has shown that people can also experience vicarious reactance. They feel restricted in their own freedom even though they are not personally involved in the restriction but only witness the situation. The phenomenon of vicarious reactance is especially interesting when considered in a cross-cu...

For synchronous 3 phase electrical generator machine design, the ability to predict the subtransient reactance of a particular machine design is of prime importance. The subtransient reactance has a significant impact on the magnitude of the fault currents generated within the machine during an event such as a 3 phase short-circuit. Power system designers routinely use the generator subtransien...

Two experiments examined how individuals respond to a restriction presented within an approach versus an avoidance frame. In Study 1, working on a problem-solving task, participants were initially free to choose their strategy, but for a second task were told to change their strategy. The message to change was embedded in either an approach or avoidance frame. When confronted with an avoidance ...

This paper analyses and designs a kind of wireless power transmission system via near field resonant coupling. It introduces the wireless power transmission technology, and combination of traditional inductive coupling and resonance. The project consists of modeling and construction of the hardware to prove the feasibility of wireless power transmission using near field resonant coupling. The h...

Multi-phase (more than three phases) drives possess several advantages over conventional three-phase drives such as: reducing the amplitude and increasing the frequency of torque pulsations, reducing the rotor harmonic currents, reducing the current per phase without increasing the voltage per phase, lowering the dc link current harmonics and higher reliability. By increasing the number of phas...

The calculation of antenna has been an interesting and a controversial topic for years. In this paper, we first give a rigorous study of antenna by introducing a complete description of the complex power balance relation for an antenna system. Using the complex Poynting theorem, we have shown that the antenna is essentially equivalent to a one port lossy network. The Foster reactance theorem is...

The paper investigates the relative influence of centroid three-phase squirrel cage induction motor rotor bar cross section, on breakdown (maximum) torque machine. angle taper, top width and radial depth as established design variables, were also investigated so to properly situate degree centroid, in comparison; far maximum is concerned. machines their steady state operating mode using equival...
