Future Magnetic Elevators They say “if it ain't broke, don’t fix it.” And from roughly 1853 untill now, the way elevators rise and descend has changed minimally. In 2003 thyssenkrupp, an industrial business group, developed a twin elevator that changed the amount of traditional cabins used, but not the way they travel. Stacked on top [...]
Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO), LIGO-Virgo detects colliding neutron stars for first time: We are entering new era in observational astronomy, says A Gopakumar In another major breakthrough in astronomy, scientists on Monday at the United States-based Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO) and the Europe-based Virgo interferometer announced the first ever detection of gravitational waves [...]
LIGO and Virgo make first detection of gravitational waves produced by colliding neutron stars For the first time, scientists have directly detected gravitational waves — ripples in space-time — in addition to light from the spectacular collision of two neutron stars. This marks the first time that a cosmic event has been viewed in both [...]
A 20-kilometer metal rope was thrown into the ionosphere to harness geomagnetism in space In 1996, the US Space Shuttle Columbia released a tethered satellite in space. A nearly 20-kilometer-long conductive rope was connected between the satellite and the space shuttle. up to 3 amps. Electricity is one of the most important inventions in human [...]
Magnetism can generate electricity! Why don't people use the Earth's own large magnetic field to generate electricity? Magnetism can generate electricity, which is a major law known to all. But why can't people use the earth's own magnetic field to generate electricity? This got people thinking. This requires first understanding electricity and magnetism. Electricity and [...]
Why don't we use the magnetic field provided by the earth to generate electricity? It sounds like a good idea, but it's not very practical. Before we explain why, let's understand how we generate electricity, in case anyone reading this doesn't already know. Electricity (we say "current") is created when charged particles flow, like water [...]
Scientists design new magnets to provide room for sustained nuclear fusion reactions Scientists are working to realize the potential of nuclear fusion as a nearly inexhaustible source of clean energy, one of the ways that is through new and improved magnets that confine the fields of plasmas so that key reactions can occur . A [...]
Magnets Generate More Electricity in Generators Purdue University researchers have developed a parallel arrangement of inner magnets to reduce size and increase the efficiency of low- to medium-power generators. Source: Purdue University Generators have many uses, from cars to airplanes to microgrids. There is currently a strong desire to reduce size and increase efficiency of [...]
Separator Magnets MPCO engineers and manufactures magnetic pulleys, drums, suspended magnetic separators, and eddy-current separators designed for beneficiation, tramp iron removal, non-ferrous metal recovery and various other separation processing applications. MPCO offers permanent and electromagnetic designs with the option of self-cleaning or manual-cleaning features. Complete systems can be designed into new separation facilities or incorporated [...]
Types of Weak Magnetic Separators The industrial magnetic separation machine can be divided into the weak magnetic separator and strong magnetic separator (high-intensity magnetic separator). This article mainly introduces the types of weak magnetic separators, includes dry type, wet type, and auxiliary equipment. Dry type weak magnetic separators The dry magnetic separator requires the sorted [...]
Electromagnetic Induction Voltage applied to a conductor creates a magnetic field around that conductor. It is possible to reverse this process and for a magnetic field to generate a voltage in a conductor. For this to occur, there must be some relative motion between the conductor and the magnetic field. Electromagnetic induction takes place whenever [...]
Electromagnetic Clutch Types MIC Electromagnetic Clutch Torque Range: 0.226 to 0.79 Nm / 2 to 7 in-lbs. Small clutches for use in copy machines, printers, and other peripheral devices. This one-piece assembly features a custom-molded gear or timing pulley designed to your specifications. Most clutches use a permanent magnet to disengage the armature when it [...]
