Geothermal power offers a stable, continuous source of renewable energy that could help power millions of homes while reducing dependence on fossil fuels. As governments worldwide pursue ...

Wind generation system is becoming increasingly important as renewable energy sources due to its advantages such as low maintenance requirement and mainly it does not cause environmental contamination ...

What consumes more than half of the world's electricity and supports nearly every facet of industrial production? The answer is the AC induction motor. Although these motors typically tolerate ...

Christine and Scott Gable are hybrid auto and alternative fuel experts who have brewed their own biodiesel and traveled 125,000 miles on waste vegetable oil. Electric vehicles rely exclusively on ...

Engineering efforts to simulate radial-flux machines concentrate on inherently 2D problems. Most of the 2D FEA software is good for "quick-and-easy" solutions demanded by shorter design schedules.

Continuing headlines about superefficient electric drives might lead some observers to wonder about the future of three-phase induction motors. The truth is that induction motors aren’t going away any ...

The two most important electric motors are the ac induction motor and the permanent magnet (PM) brushless synchronous motor, also known as the brushless dc or ac servo motor. These motors have ...

To meet the demand for drive motors / generators needed for hybrid vehicles, engineers at Remy International Inc. designed a line of off-the-shelf devices that are said to have the highest ...

Generating electricity from geothermal energy is a complicated process that relies on underground reservoirs of water heated by the Earth’s crust. The steam created in the reservoirs is drawn to the ...
