The article presents an innovative construction of the Axial Flux Permanent Magnet (AFPM) machine designed for generator performance, which provides the shape of induced voltage that enables estimation of the speed and rotational angle of the machine rotor. Design solutions were proposed, the aim of which is to limit energy losses as a result of the occurrence of eddy currents. The method of direct estimation of the value of the rotational speed and rotational angle of the machine rotor was proposed and investigated on the basis of the measurements of induced voltages and machine phase currents. The advantage of the machine is the utilization of simple and easy-to-use computational procedures. The acquired results were compared with the results obtained for estimation performed by using the Unscented Kalman Filter (UKF).

This article elucidates on the concept of electromagnetism and electromagnetic induction with a view to explaining the theory of magnetic stimulation, used to cure diseases in human beings. Magnetic stimulation follows the principles of electromagnetism. A changing primary current induces secondary currents, which are called eddy currents, in the nearby conductors (human tissue in this case). The strength of the electric field is measured by its electromotive force (emf), which in turn, is measured in volts. The changing primary current also gives rise to an induced voltage in the primary loop itself. The essential circuitry of a magnetic stimulator is composed of three elements, the capacitor, inductance of the stimulation coil, and a switch to connect them. This article also explains the process of the energy flow system through the inductor-capacitor system, applying this principle to the biphasic TMS pulse.

Real-time and non-invasive imaging of tissues and detection of diseases on millimeter to centimeter scales can be useful in some clinical applications such as determination of margins during cancer surgery and image-guided pathology. In this paper, we describe an eddy current measurement method for characterizing soft tissues. The device consists of a pair of concentrically wound coils, a primary coil excited by a low frequency (<100 kHz) sinusoidal voltage, inducing a voltage and current in the secondary detecting coil. When a conducting sample is present, eddy currents develop in the sample and alter the induced voltage and phase on the detecting coil. The output voltage and phase of the detecting coil are then monitored using lock-in amplification. Experimental measurements on porcine muscle tissue examine the effects of varying tissue macrostructure and conductivity on the eddy current detector. Three sets of experiments are presented. First, muscle samples cut into different sized grids simulating the restriction of eddy current domains show that morphological structure has a strong influence on the detector signal. Second, eddy current measurements made on porcine muscle samples at varying degrees of dehydration show that as conductivity decreases, eddy current signals also decrease. Finally, measurements on porcine muscle samples soaked overnight in deionized water complement the dehydration experiments and confirm detector voltage and phase changes decrease with decreasing conductivity.

In this paper, a rigorous and efficient approach, using the fuzzy-Inference Taguchi method with the multiple performance characteristics index (MPCI), is employed for obtaining the rigorous design of a small-scale direct-drive coreless axial-flux permanent-magnet (AFPM) generator for a vertical-axis wind turbine (VAWT) with both larger induced voltage and higher efficiency. The proposed method first establishes the orthogonal array (OA) recommended by the Taguchi method, then multiple targets are coordinated by the fuzzy inference mechanism to obtain a better combination of geometric parameters for achieving multiple quality targets. The three-dimensional (3-D) electromagnetic finite element method (FEM) is used as the tool for analyzing the performance of the coreless AFPM generator. The results have shown the proposed method can obtain the suitable generators geometric parameters for enhancing the induced voltage of the generator while keeping efficiency as high as possible under the rated speed.

The purpose of this research is to know the influence of NdFeB permanent magnet dimensions and the distance of air gap on performance of single phase axial flux permanent magnet generator. In this research using quantitative approach with experimental method. Research subjects used, namely permanent magnetic generator axial flux with two rotor samples that have different magnetic dimensions and conducted air gap variation. The research data was collected by testing without load and testing with electrical load, to know the performance values of the generator in the form of induction voltage and electric power. The results showed that the induction voltage and electric power were affected by the magnetic dimensions and the distance of the air gap. These results indicate that the rotor with a magnetic surface area of 0.0058 m2 and 0.0034 m2 produces an induced voltage of 91.7 and 27.1 V, as well as a power of 14 and 2.8 W. Whereas, for variations in the air gap with the rotor magnetic surface area 0.0058 m2 and varied 2; 3; 4; 5; and 6 mm produces an induced voltage of 91.7; 89.0; 86.5; 80.2; and 68.5 V, and power of 14; 12; 10.9; 10.5; and 8.8 W. Thus, the use of a magnet ic dimension that is larger and in accordance with the size of the coil, as well as the use of a small air gap distance will result in a better induction voltage value.   Abstrak Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui pengaruh dimensi magnet permanen NdFeB dan jarak celah udara terhadap kinerja generator magnet permanen fluks aksial satu fasa.

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to investigate the theoretical foundation of the so-called quasi 3D modelling method of axial flux machines, and the means for the simulation of the resulting models. Design/methodology/approach – Starting from the first principles, a 3D magnetostatic problem is geometrically decomposed into a coupled system of 2D problems. Genuine 2D problems are derived by decoupling the system. The construction of the 2D simulation models is discussed, and their applicability is evaluated by comparing a finite element implementation to an existing industry-used model. Findings – The quasi 3D method relies on the assumption of vanishing radial magnetic flux. The validity of this assumption is reflected in a residual gained from the 3D coupled system. Moreover, under a modification of the metric of the 2D models, an axial flux machine can be presented as a family of radial flux machines. Research limitations/implications – The evaluation and interpretation of the residual has not been carried out. Furthermore, the inclusion of eddy currents has not been detailed in the present study. Originality/value – A summary of existing modelling and simulation methods of axial flux machines is provided. As a novel result, proper mathematical context for the quasi 3D method is given and the underlying assumptions are laid out. The implementation of the 2D models is approached from a general angle, strengthening the foundation for future research.

The generator uses a permanent magnet so it does not require initial excitation to generate a voltage. The generator design is axial flux type, uses ceramic type permanent magnet (NdFeB), uses two flanking stator rotors. For electricity use, the AC voltage is changed to DC voltage using a rectifier for charging the accumulator. The air gap in the axial generator is the distance between the rotor and the stator. The air gap is also a place for the transfer of the magnetic field through the coil on the stator to produce a magnetic flux value that affects the induced voltage in the coil. The faster the rotation, the greater the voltage generated. This axial generator that has been designed can produce a frequency of ± 50 Hz, an effective voltage of ± 22 V when the air gap is 2 mm, the frequency measurement has an error of 10-20 Hz and an error percentage of 5-10%, with the results of measuring the induced current that has a large the same voltage.
