hi,
i like to know about the kind of mechanical power source to excite your generator? is it wind or stream etc.?

Hi JBartos,
I think your references are a little bit out of date, because a DC motor only means to you as a brush type DC motor. Also, Switched Reluctance Motor is one of the oldest motor which is used on earth. (Maybe I'm wrong, in former British navy, to align big cannons to the target)...
Thanks for your immediate answer,
1. More readily available power supply
I dont think so.. Don't forget, it is working on an electric car.. I mean If it is not a hybrid car (I mean a petrol engine coupled with an AC generator), probably it has a DC power bus. (for example an accumulator or a...
Hi
Jbartos,
Why do you think an AC motor is better than a DC one? Can you explain these reasons?

OK., In my opinion the brushless DC Wheel motor is the best.. (I still think it is not easy to make a strict choice).. <p>Azmi Demirel<br><a href=mailto:azzmi@elk.itu.edu.tr>azzmi@elk.itu.edu.tr</a><br><a href=http://triton.elk.itu.edu.tr/~azzmi>Welcome</a><br>I am handsome but married :-)
Hi Simon,
I think, first of all, we have to calculate the total electrical power loss which is dissipated in your battery at its operation conditions.
For this calculation, the internal resistance of the battery must be determined. Simply you can make two measurements to determine roughly the...
Hi Gleen,
If there is no limit for electrical power supply, some additional limitations come through. These limitations are,
-Weight of the motor.
-torque-speed characteristics of the motor. (Especially high speeds).
-maintenance needings of the motor.
-Acoustic noise of the motor.
-Vibration...
Hi,
First of all if you have an oscilloscope, I recommed, check the motor's armature voltage waveform. This will help to point the problem comes from the controller or the motor. Ah, I missed a thing, is your motor a brushless PM motor or a classical commutator DC motor without excitation...
Hello Jbartos,
Your second post is correct. But if you make some basical mathematic operations on your result, you will see that;
a kilowatt-hour is equal to 859 kilocalories. And even this form of equation may be more useful for which cases are electrical power is known.
The equation that you...
Hi,
I don't know if is it useful for your case but,
1 kilowatt-hour is equal to 859 kilocalories or 3413 BTUs.
But your case is not easy because you have to know the thermal capacitance of your physical system.

Hi,<br>John, would you compare non-inductive wirewound resistors with the other types (metal or carbon film resistors and even water resistors). Is the bifilar construction the best (by mean of parasitic inductance)? <p>Azmi Demirel<br><a...
Hi,<br>I don't think it is true. In my opinion opposite of this comment can be true. I mean the wirewound resistor is the worst for a non inductive circuit because of its big parasitic inductance.(if you don't want to add some serial parasitic inductance to your circuit.)<br>I think the main...
Hi,<br>In general the current rating which is on the name plate is given for continuous operation. <br>Regards<br> <p>Azmi Demirel<br><a href=mailto:azzmi@elk.itu.edu.tr>azzmi@elk.itu.edu.tr</a><br><a href=http://triton.elk.itu.edu.tr/~azzmi>Welcome</a><br>I am handsome but married :-)
Hi,<br>I like to make a little addition.<br>your voltage is 400 volts, that means approximately 1200 volts peak to peak. This voltage stress may damage the input<br>stage of your oscilloscope. (Check your scope's manual if available). So, you better use an attenuator (X10) probe. (Don't forget...
Hi,<br>I think you have to use your own creativity. But as a hint,<br>maybe it will be useful to browse some universities web pages for some impression. Don't forget, this project is necessary for your evaluation.<br><br>Regs <p>Azmi Demirel<br><a...
