Talk about this Product. Newage was the name of a former electrical engineering company in Stamford, Lincolnshire , that made electrical generators from 20— kVA. In it produced the first brushless alternator. The name and reference to Newage has now been reintroduced as the Newage branded low voltage alternator range, as part of the Newage, Stamford and AvK brand portfolio by Cummins Generator Technologies. It was incorporated on 27 August as Newage Engineers Limited. In March it changed its name to Newage International Limited; it would keep this name until June In it produced the first generator with a permanent magnet synchronous generator pmg for automatic voltage regulation avr excitation. In the name was again changed. It was renamed Stamford-AVK. The Newage naming has since been reintroduced as the Newage branded alternator range, by Cummins Generator Technologies. It made gearboxes for marine engines. It made alternators. The alternators are fed by full-wave bridge rectifiers. In March , Cummins Generator Technologies reintroduced the Newage reference as their third alternator brand, Newage. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. Electric machines.

They also built a town to the north, at Great Casterton on the River Gwash. The Anglo-Saxons later chose Stamford as their main town, being on a more important river than the Gwash. The place-name Stamford is first attested in the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle , where it appears as Steanford in and Stanford in It appears as Stanford in the Domesday Book of The name means "stony ford". In King Edgar made Stamford a borough. The Anglo-Saxons and Danes faced each other across the river. Stamford was the only one of the Five Boroughs of the Danelaw not to become a county town. Initially a pottery centre making Stamford Ware , it had gained fame by the Middle Ages for its production of the woollen cloth known as Stamford cloth or haberget , which "In Henry III's reign Stamford was a walled town, [7] but only a small portion of the walls remains. Stamford became an inland port on the Great North Road , the latter superseding Ermine Street in importance. Notable buildings in the town include the medieval Browne's Hospital , several churches and the buildings of Stamford School , a public school founded in A Norman castle was built about and apparently demolished in A small part of the curtain wall survives at the junction of Castle Dyke and Bath Row. During the English Civil War local loyalties were split. Thomas Hatcher MP was a Parliamentarian. Royalists used Wothorpe and Burghley as defensive positions. In the summer of the Royalists were besieged at Burghley on 24 July after a defeat at Peterborough on 19 July. The army of Viscount Campden was heavily outnumbered and surrendered the following day. Stamford has been hosting an annual fair since the Middle Ages. The fair, held in mid-Lent, is now the largest street fair in Lincolnshire and among the largest in the country. On 7 March , crusaders at the fair led a pogrom , in which many of Stamford's Jews were massacred. Some butchers came to part the combatants and one of the bulls ran into the town. The earl mounted his horse and rode after the animal; he enjoyed the sport so much that he gave the meadow in which the fight began to the butchers of Stamford on condition that they continue to provide a bull, to be run in the town every 13 November. The East Coast Main Line would have gone through Stamford, as an important postal town at the time, but resistance there led to routing it instead through Peterborough , whose importance and size increased at Stamford's expense. During the Second World War, the area round Stamford was home to several military sites, particularly RAF stations and airborne encampments, but also a prisoner-of-war camp. A memorial plaque was unveiled at the house in Stamford Museum occupied a Victorian building in Broad Street from until June , when it was closed by Lincolnshire County Council budget cuts. Stamford belongs to the parliamentary constituency of Grantham and Stamford. His predecessor, Nick Boles , had left the Conservatives in March It previously belonged to Kesteven County Council. Stamford's town council [22] has arms: Per pale dexter side Gules three Lions passant guardant in pale Or and the sinister side chequy Or and Azure. Stamford, as a town and civil parish in the South Kesteven district of Lincolnshire , on the River Welland , forms a south-westerly protrusion of Lincolnshire between Rutland to the north and west, Peterborough to the south, and Northamptonshire to the south-west. The Welland forms the border between two historic counties: Lincolnshire to the north and the Soke of Peterborough in Northamptonshire to the south. In , the boundary between Lincolnshire and Rutland then part of Leicestershire in the Stamford area was redrawn. The conjoined parish of Wothorpe is in the city of Peterborough. The river downstream of the town bridge and some of the meadows fall within the drainage area of the Welland and Deepings Internal Drainage Board. Much of Stamford is built on Middle Jurassic Lincolnshire limestone , with mudstones and sandstones. The area is known for its limestone and slate quarries. Cream-coloured Collyweston stone slate is found on the roofs of many Stamford stone buildings. Stamford Stone in Barnack has two quarries at Marholm and Holywell. In , a specimen of the sauropod dinosaur Cetiosaurus oxoniensis was found in the Williamson Cliffe Quarry, close to Great Casterton in adjacent Rutland. Tourism plays an important part in Stamford's economy, as do professional law and accountancy firms. Health, education and other public-service employers also feature, notably a hospital, a large medical general practice, schools some independent and a further education college. The licensed premises reflect the history of the town. The town has a significant retail and service sector. The town centre has many independent boutique stores and draws shoppers from a wide area. Several streets are traffic free. The outlets include among others gift shops, eateries, men's and women's outfitters, shoe shops, florists, hairdressers, beauty therapists, and acupuncture and health-care services. Stamford has a number of hotels, coffee shops and restaurants. There is a branch in the town of the national jeweller F. Hinds which can trace its history back to the clockmaker Joseph Hinds, who worked in Stamford in the first half of the 19th century. There are two retail parks a little way from the centre. The town has three builders' merchants and several other specialist trade outlets and skilled trades such as roofers, builders, tilers etc. There are two car showrooms and a number of car-related businesses. Local services include convenience stores, post offices, newsagents and take-aways. The base opened in as RFC Stamford. It closed in , but reopened in under its present name. The engineering company, largely closed since June , is Cummins Generator Technologies formerly Newage Lyon, then Newage International , a maker of electrical generators in Barnack Road. The Pick Motor Company was founded in Stamford in about A number of smaller firms — welders, printers and so forth — are in small collections of industrial units or more traditional premises in older, mixed-use parts of the town. Stamford lies in the midst of some of England's richest farmland and close to the famous "double-cropping" land of parts of the fens. Agriculture still provides a small, but steady number of jobs in farming, agricultural machinery, distribution and ancillary services. The Stamford Mercury claimed to have been published since , as "Britain's oldest newspaper", but in fact it was founded in as the Stamford Post. Local radio provision was shared between Peterborough's Heart East Stamford has its own lower-power television relay transmitter, due to the town being in a valley [37] [38] which takes its transmission from Waltham , not Belmont.

While the electrical components are all isolated from the user and covered by various insulations, it is still possible to come into contact with potential lethal amounts of current. The designer and builders of this car have taken great measures to ensure this will not happen, but nothing is fool proof. This being said, no changes should be made to the system without training in electrical safety and a thorough understanding of the overall system. The following include the steps that should be undertaken to begin driving the vehicle. Only one person may occupy the vehicle at any given time, hence the reason there is only one seat, however it should be noted that at least three individuals will be required to ensure safest operation of the vehicle. 1. Place blocks or stops in front and behind one of the wheels to ensure the vehicle does not move while interacting with the bottom shell. 2. Un-latch and lift the top carbon fiber shell from the vehicle and secure the top with the mounted poles in the vehicle.

The current-to-torque and frequency-to-speed relationships of BLDC motors are linear. BLDC motors may be described as stepper motors, with fixed permanent magnets and possibly more poles on the rotor than the stator, or reluctance motors. The latter may be without permanent magnets, just poles that are induced on the rotor then pulled into alignment by timed stator windings. However, the term stepper motor tends to be used for motors that are designed specifically to be operated in a mode where they are frequently stopped with the rotor in a defined angular position; this page describes more general BLDC motor principles, though there is overlap.

  • Development of a Linear Ultrasonic Motor with Segmented Electrodes
    Development of a Linear Ultrasonic Motor with Segmented Electrodes by Jacky Ka Ki Lau A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Master of Applied Science Graduate Department of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering University of Toronto © Copyright by Jacky Ka Ki Lau 2012 Development of a Linear Ultrasonic Motor with Segmented Electrodes Jacky Ka Ki Lau Master of Applied Science Graduate Department of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering University of Toronto 2012 ABSTRACT A novel segmented electrodes linear ultrasonic motor (USM) was developed. Using a planar vibration mode concept to achieve elliptical motion at the USM drive-tip, an attempt to decouple the components of the drive-tip trajectory was made. The proposed design allows greater control of the drive-tip trajectory without altering the excitation voltage. Finite element analyses were conducted on the proposed design to estimate the performance of the USM. The maximum thrust force and speed are estimated to be 46N and 0.5370m/s, respectively. During experimental investigation, the maximum thrust force and speed observed were 36N and 0.223m/s, respectively, at a preload of 70N. Furthermore, the smallest step achievable was 9nm with an 18µs impulse. Nevertheless, the proposed design allowed the speed of the USM to vary while keeping the thrust force relatively constant and allowed the USM to achieve high resolution without a major sacrifice of thrust force. ii Acknowledgements I would like to thank everyone who helped me in to the completion of my thesis and my Master’s program. Special mention goes to the following people and organizations: My supervisor, Professor Ridha Ben Mrad, for his guidance and support throughout my project.

We built a robust, modular telemetry system which records sensor data about the boat’s performance. Data points are displayed live in the boat, transmitted over radio to a shore computer, and stored in a database for later analysis. This system is used to transmit the throttle and controls for the boat, allowing our team to use control algorithms to follow a power budget. On the mechanical systems side, we improved our outboard motor to use a simplified direct drive and interchangeable motor system. Our outboard motor has been modified to accommodate propellers up to 14”. The ability to change motor and propeller on the same outboard assembly gives our team a large amount of flexibility. Each of these changes was implemented in response to events of the previous year. At the end of last year, our team suffered a setback that prevented us from attending competition. During testing, we overheated our motor and were not able to secure a replacement in time for competition.

Carman, Co-Chair Professor Daniel S. Levi, Co-Chair While the development of ventricular assist devices for the pediatric population has grown and helped these patients in bridge-to-transplantation, the motors used for these devices have remained electromagnetic. Because the physical space requirements for pediatric ventricular assist devices (PVADs) implantation are smaller in children, these motors are susceptible to decreased power output and efficiency as they are scaled down. Piezoelectric actuators, which scale down favorably in terms of power output and efficiency, have yielded novel compact piezoelectric hydraulic pumps in the aerospace industry. The focus of this research is on the development of a ventricular assist driver powered by a miniature piezoelectric hydraulic pump (PHP). This driver is designed to drive a working fluid to an extracorporeal ventricular assist ii device, also called a blood pump, which has been fabricated at UCLA for bridge-to- transplantation mechanical support.
