5 unusual facts about Electric motor


Electric motor

Practical rotating AC induction motors were independently invented by Galileo Ferraris and Nikola Tesla, a working motor model having been demonstrated by the former in 1885 and by the latter in 1887.

Guzman College of Science and Technology

A special 60-hour courses include Auto Electricity, Engine Trouble Shooting and Tune - Up - Engine Overhaul & Repair, Building Wiring, Basic Electronics, Audio-Video Servicing, Motor Rewinding and Ref and Air Servicing.

Mendocino motor

The motor consists of a four-, five-, six- or eight-sided rotor block in the middle of a shaft.

Power band

Electric motors are unique in many ways, especially when it comes to the power band.

Spray painting

To ensure the ideal working conditions (temperature, air flow and humidity), these environments are equipped with one or more groups of ventilation, consisting of one or more motors and one or more burners to heat the air blown.


American Superconductor

AMSC has demonstrated a 36.5 MW (49,000 horsepower) High-temperature superconductor (HTS) electric motor for the United States Navy, and is developing a similar 10 MW wind turbine generator through its wholly owned Austria-based subsidiary AMSC Windtech.

Cubelets

Currently, there are 16 types of Cubelets available: Distance Sensor, Light Sensor, Potentiometer/Knob, Temperature Sensor, Drive Motor, Rotate Motor, Speaker, LED Flashlight, LED Bargraph, Passive, Blocker, Inverse, Maximum, Minimum, Battery and Bluetooth.

Electravia Electro Trike

It was first developed by taking the existing DTA Alizés carriage and its Ellipse Fuji wing and replacing the internal combustion engine with an electric motor.

Hotliner

In radio-controlled aircraft, a hotliner is a fast sailplane with an electric motor.

Optima Bus Corporation

It utilizes ISE-Siemens ThunderVolt hybrid technology built around Siemens ELFA motors, generators and inverters.

Stator

The stator is the stationary part of a rotary system, found in electric generators, electric motors, sirens, or biological rotors.

Technological applications of superconductivity

Promising future industrial and commercial HTS applications include Induction heaters, transformers, fault current limiters, power storage, motors and generators, fusion reactors (see ITER) and magnetic levitation devices.

TRIAC

Low power TRIACs are used in many applications such as light dimmers, speed controls for electric fans and other electric motors, and in the modern computerized control circuits of many household small and major appliances.

Cash register

In 1906, while working at the National Cash Register company, inventor Charles F. Kettering designed a cash register with an electric motor.

Chopper pumps

A chopper pump is operated by a drive unit (e.g. electric motor, hydraulic motor, PTO), which turns the impeller and the cutting system.

Creaton UAV

T10 Hornet (Da-Huang-Feng or Dahuangfeng, 大黄蜂) is a micro air vehicle (MAV) that resemble a Boeing Insitu ScanEagle, but propulsion of T10 is provided a two-blade propeller driven by a tractor electric motor mounted in the nose, as opposed to the pusher engine at the rear end of the empennage in ScanEagle.

E-Spark

E-Spark was to be a joint venture between GM and RECC (Reva Electric Car Corp.) with GM providing the Chevy Spark platform and RECC providing the electric motor-battery kit.Unveiled in Auto Expro 2010, New Delhi, this car was supposed to hit the Indian consumers in October.

Ewil Maxon railway station

It takes its name from the nearby hamlet of Ewil, together with the precision electric motor manufacturer Maxon Motor, whose plant adjoins the station.

Henry Beecher Dierdorff

While an engineer with Jeffery Mining and Manufacturing Company of Columbus, Ohio, Dierdorff developed insulation that could be packed around electric motor housings to suppress sparking found on early electrical motors.

Lockheed Martin Desert Hawk

It is made mostly of plastic foam, suggesting something like a Nerf toy, and uses an electric motor driving a pusher propeller as a powerplant, making it very quiet.

Motor starter

Motor controller, a device that regulates the performance of an electric motor

SH-AWD

The V-6 would be mated to a 30 kW electric motor which could operate independently of the V-6, unlike earlier mild hybrid Honda IMA configurations.

Skil

Skil's European factory was built in 1961 in the Dutch town of Breda, followed soon after by an electric motor plant at Eindhoven, Netherlands.
