  2. Magneto - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magneto

    The magneto also had a medical application for treatment of mental illness in the beginnings of electromedicine. In 1850, Duchenne de Boulogne , a French doctor, developed and manufactured a magneto with a variable outer voltage and frequency, through varying revolutions by hand or varying the inductance of the two coils, for clinical ...

  3. Ignition magneto - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ignition_magneto

    Magneto components. Impulse coupling components. An ignition magneto (also called a high-tension magneto) is an older type of ignition system used in spark-ignition engines (such as petrol engines). It uses a magneto and a transformer to make pulses of high voltage for the spark plugs. The older term "high-tension" means "high-voltage". [1]

  4. Telephone magneto - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telephone_magneto

    A telephone magneto is a hand-cranked electrical generator that uses permanent magnets to produce alternating current from a rotating armature. In early telegraphy , magnetos were used to power instruments, while in telephony they were used to generate electrical current to drive electromechanical ringers in telephone sets and activate signals ...

  5. Magnetohydrodynamic generator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetohydrodynamic_generator

    A magnetohydrodynamic generator (MHD generator) is a magnetohydrodynamic converter that transforms thermal energy and kinetic energy directly into electricity.An MHD generator, like a conventional generator, relies on moving a conductor through a magnetic field to generate electric current.

    M = Schnapper-Magnetzündung (impulse magneto ignition). [r] Some 6-cylinder models had this type of magneto in its own housing, driven off the starter ring on the flywheel, located on the right-hand side. [45] This type of installation is indicated with an (M) in the model number, e.g. HL42 TUKRM.

  7. Magnetohydrodynamic drive - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetohydrodynamic_drive

    Yamato 1 on display in Kobe, Japan.The first working full-scale MHD ship. A magnetohydrodynamic drive or MHD accelerator is a method for propelling vehicles using only electric and magnetic fields with no moving parts, accelerating an electrically conductive propellant (liquid or gas) with magnetohydrodynamics.

  8. Magneto-optical drive - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magneto-optical_drive

    A magneto-optical drive is a kind of optical disc drive capable of writing and rewriting data upon a magneto-optical disc. 130 mm (5.25 in) and 90 mm (3.5 in) discs are the most common sizes. In 1983, just a year after the introduction of the compact disc , Kees Schouhamer Immink and Joseph Braat presented the first experiments with erasable ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rumely_Oil_Pull

    Rumely Oil Pull tractor "L" The Rumely Oil Pull was a line of farm tractors developed by Advance-Rumely Company [1] from 1909 and sold 1910 to 1930. Most were heavy tractors powered by an internal combustion, magneto-fired engine designed to burn all kerosene grades at any load, called the Oil Turn.
