Which one is better – an SRM or a SynRM? You won’t find the answer here, but you’ll get some tools to make the decision yourself.
Switched and Synchronous Reluctance Machines
Ever wondered what switched and synchronous reluctance machines are? Well, this post here covers the basics – how they work and where they differ.
What are BLDC motors?
What are BLDC motors? And how do they differ from AC motors? Why do people keep using such contradictory terms and confusing us?
Maglev Systems – How to model them analytically?
Maglev – magnetic levitation – systems can be quite different from electric motors. So how to model them without time-consuming 3D simulations?
Video: Circulating and eddy currents with PWM supply
Circulating and eddy currents combined with PWM supply, illustrated with a nice video. What more could you wish for, really?
How a self-levitating motor works
An active magnetic bearing system can be directly integrated into an electric motor, resulting in a self-levitating motor. Here’s how it works.
Circulating currents – Post-it version
What are circulating currents, why are random-wound windings called random, why should you care? Find out here, with convenient bullet points!
Introduction to active magnetic bearings (AMB)
Active magnetic bearings are widely used in high-speed machines and sensitive environments both. Here’s what they are, and how they work.
Options for (Analytical) Torque Computation – Part 3
A commonly-used approach for torque computation utilizes the virtual work principle. Here’s what it is, and what options you have with it.
Options for (analytical) torque computation, part 2
More methods for analytical torque computation. Somewhat more advanced than previously, but still simple and fast. A little more versatile, too.
