homopolar generator

Sometimes the name homopolar generator is reserved for this configuration.

Some parts of the homopolar generator are now on permanent display on the lawn outside the research school.

The homopolar generator was developed first by Michael Faraday during his experiments in 1831.

Homopolar generators underwent a renaissance in the 1950s as a source of pulsed power storage.

In the homopolar generator, the material's atoms are moving, even though the overall geometry of the circuit is staying the same.

Superconducting homopolar generators have been considered as pulsed power sources for laser weapon systems.

In this regard, see also homopolar generator.

The homopolar generator, the largest ever built, was capable of supplying currents of over 2 megaamperes.

Homopolar generators can be used to convert the kinetic energy of a flywheel into electric energy very rapidly.

Nikola Tesla was interested in the Faraday disc and conducted work with homopolar generators.

A Faraday wheel is an early homopolar generator invented by Michael Faraday.

Faraday also develops the Faraday Wheel, a homopolar generator.

Generating currents of this magnitude is relatively simple, and a number of devices from large banks of capacitors to homopolar generators have been used.

In 1955, Oliphant initiated the design and construction of the world's largest (500 megajoule) homopolar generator (HPG).

Later, patents were awarded to C. P. Steinmetz and E. Thomson for their work with homopolar generators.

Much of the development done in homopolar generators was patented by J. E. Noeggerath and R. Eickemeyer.

Later homopolar generators would solve this problem by using an array of magnets arranged around the disc perimeter to maintain a steady field effect in one current-flow direction.

Other early patents for homopolar generators were awarded to S. Z. De Ferranti and C. Batchelor separately.

A homopolar generator is a DC electrical generator comprising an electrically conductive disc rotating in a plane perpendicular to a uniform static magnetic field.

They are unusual in that they can source tremendous electric current, some more than a million amperes, because the homopolar generator can be made to have very low internal resistance.

He simulated cosmical astrophysics with laboratory plasma experiments, and showed that Hubble expansion can be produced with repulsive mutual induction between neighboring galaxies acting as homopolar generators.

He also built the first electromagnetic generator, called the Faraday disk, a type of homopolar generator, using a copper disc rotating between the poles of a horseshoe magnet.

One example is the homopolar generator (above left): A spinning circular metal disc in a homogeneous magnetic field generates a DC (constant in time) EMF.
