Nowadays, there are different types of pumps available in the market in different shapes and sizes. The selection of pumps mainly depends on our requirements like the type of fluid we wish to pump, the distance to supply the liquid and the volume we need to get over an exact time frame. However, it is hard to identify accurately which pump we must select. The pump can be identified based on its design and function. This article discusses an overview of … [Read more...]
Motor Pump : Working and Its Types
Nowadays, life without motor pumps we cannot imagine because they play an essential role in pushing water/liquid from low level to high level, to blow up the bicycle tires otherwise fill gas in your car. So all types of machines from jackhammers to air conditioners, we use pumps to move liquids. The first powered machinery that was invented in the industries was a simple form of motor pump. At present, this was available in a range of types, sizes and used … [Read more...]
Electric Drive Working and Its Applications
When electrical devices like motor or generator are used in any application, we think that the rotation speed of these devices can be controlled only through the supplied voltage as well as the frequency of the current source. However, an electrical machine's rotation speed can be exactly controlled by the ‘drive’ concept. By using this concept, motion control can be simply optimized. Now coming to its history, the first electric drive was invented by … [Read more...]
Types of Electric Motor
We know that electric motors play an essential role in different sectors. At present, there are numerous types of motor available in the market but, these are more different as well as flexible than ever before. The classification of these motors can be done based on its operation and its applications. The main parts of the motors are windings like field winding and armature winding. Motors are the most important machines for motion control systems but its … [Read more...]
Electric Motor : Construction and Its Applications
In an electric motor, the concept of energy conversion was explained by British scientist namely "Michael Faraday" in the year 1821. The main function of the motor is to convert the energy from one form to another. The alteration of energy can be done through a conductor that carries current in a magnetic field. Once the electrical current, as well as a magnetic field, generates the torque then the conductors begin revolving. After that in 1832, the DC … [Read more...]
Universal Motor : Working and its Types
We know that there are different kinds of electric motors available in the market such as single phase, self-starting induction, slip ring, etc. This article discusses a unique kind of electric motor. Imagine an electric motor that works on both AC and DC. This motor is named as a universal motor. As the name suggests, the working ability of this motor mainly depends on AC & DC with related characteristics. This motor also includes a high starting … [Read more...]
Free Energy Generator : Working & Its Applications
The first generator was invented early in 1832 by Hippolyt Pixii which was called a Dynamo. It was the first machine that is capable of generating power. Earlier to the invention of the electric generator, the machine introduced was able to work on the basis of the electrostatic principle. This was based on the working of electrically charged plates which is used to drive belts, plates, and disks. As moving forward, the thought of inventing the free energy … [Read more...]
What is a DC Series Generator – Load Test, Characteristics & Applications
An electrical generator is a kind of machine that can able to convert the input mechanical energy to electrical energy. It was invented in 1831 by Michael Faraday who worked on several theories of magnetic induction. Finally, it was made to work by the introduction of Electromagnetic Induction. This theory is the basis for the working of an electrical generator. Moreover, this electrical energy generated is used by electrical motors. However, these motors … [Read more...]
What is a Rotor – Types, Working, & Applications
The rotor was invented in the early 1800s and it was discovered by the naval officers R. P. C. Spengler and Theo A. van Hengel. Earlier it was used in Rotor dynamics for the encryption of files especially used in cryptography. The invention of this type is also supported by Gustaf de Laval who is working for the development of turbine machinery. This type was supposed to be called Laval type as per his name Gustaf de Laval. In this article, we shall … [Read more...]
DC Shunt Generator – Working, Load Test & Magnetisation Characteristics
Early 1830 Faraday worked on the process that is related to electromagnetic fields. He discovered a theory that is basic behind the working of a generator. Later several discoveries have been done that led to the invention of some other generators, those are the shunt, series, and compound type. However, all these types work on the same principle I,e the Faraday's law of electromagnetic induction. So, the invention of the magnetic laws by Faraday behind … [Read more...]
