In a trochoidal-type machine, the rotor and chamber will be in direct contact when apex seals arc removed. The reliability and efficiency of the machine will depend on the magnitude of these contact forces. In this paper, a finite element model that simulates the planetary rotation of a rotor inside a chamber is developed. The model is then used to analyze contact forces between rotor and chamb...

There are many methods in literature for canalizing of circulating useful flux from stator core to rotor core without radial movements in induction machines. It is obvious to healing of useful flux with decreasing radial moved zig-zag flux and it increases the motor performance. Magnetic barrier, cutout and using of slits are the most used methods for improve the circulating useful flux in the ...

VFT (variable frequency transformer) has been recently used as an alternative to HVDC (high voltage direct current) to control power flow between asynchronous networks. VFT consumes less reactive power than a back-to-back HVDC system, provides faster initial transient recovery, and has better natural damping capability. VFT is simply a DFIM (doubly-fed induction machine) where the machine torqu...

A physcial approach is employed to estimate the rotor flux for a position sensorless induction machine drive system. This approach i s based on the fundamental operating characteristics of the induction machine. The estimator structure calculates the rotor flux accurately at low speeds, and as laryely insensitive to parameter variations. System structure, theoretical analysis, simulation, and l...

This paper presents a comparative study of two types of wound field three-phase switched-flux machine (SFM) with non-overlap winding and salient rotor. Both armature and field winding are located on the stator and rotor is composed of only stack of iron. Non-overlap armature and field windings and toothed-rotor are the clear advantages of these machines as the copper losses gets reduce and roto...

This paper presents the design, fabrication and experimental power analysis of a novel double-stator magnetic geared permanent magnet (DSMGPM) machine which comprises of a doublestator permanent-magnet (PM) machine integrated a with triple rotor magnetic gear. The proposed machine can upscale the low-speed rotating magnetic field of the prime PMs on the prime rotor by using the modulation effec...

We report the slowing of a supersonic beam by elastic reflection from a receding atomic mirror. We use a pulsed supersonic nozzle to generate a 511+/-9 m/s beam of helium that we slow by reflection from a Si(111)-H(1x1) crystal placed on the tip of a spinning rotor. We were able to reduce the velocity of helium by 246 m/s and show that the temperature of the slowed beam is lower than 250 mK in ...

The performances of the synchronous reluctance motor are essentially dependent on the magnetic dissymetry of the machine, respectively of its rotor, as in [1], [2], [3], [4], [5], [6]. The last one is made from grain-oriented steel laminations, alternating with insulation and non-magnetic material. The fastening is realized with clamping plates and screws made from non-magnetic material (brass ...
