  2. Shading coil - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shading_coil

    AC relay with shading coil (red arrow near top) for operating with AC. A shading coil or shading ring (Also called Frager spire or Frager coil) is one or more turns of electrical conductor (usually copper or aluminum) located in the face of the magnet assembly or armature of an alternating current solenoid. The alternating current in the ...

  3. Coilgun - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coilgun

    Simplified diagram of a multistage coilgun with three coils, a barrel, and a ferromagnetic projectile. A coilgun is a type of mass driver consisting of one or more coils used as electromagnets in the configuration of a linear motor that accelerate a ferromagnetic or conducting projectile to high velocity. [1]

  4. Register (air and heating) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Register_(air_and_heating)

    During winter months, for example, an air conditioning register can be closed to prevent cold air from being pulled from the room. This allows the hot air to mix more completely with the cold air in the room, improving the efficiency of the HVAC system. [7] (The return should be efficient enough to draw off the cooler air.) [10] [11]

  5. Helmholtz coil - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helmholtz_coil

    The magnetic field frequency range can be anywhere from near DC (0 Hz) to many kilohertz or even megahertz (MHz). An AC Helmholtz coil driver is needed to generate the required time-varying magnetic field. The waveform amplifier driver must be able to output high AC current to produce the magnetic field.

  6. Magnetic core - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetic_core

    "Soft" magnetic materials with low coercivity and hysteresis, such as silicon steel, or ferrite, are usually used in cores. Magnetic field (green) created by a current-carrying winding (red) in a typical magnetic core transformer or inductor, with the iron core C forming a closed loop, possibly with air gaps G in it. The drawing shows a section ...

  7. Magnetic refrigeration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetic_refrigeration

    The magnetocaloric effect can be quantified with the following equation: = ((,)) ((,)) where is the adiabatic change in temperature of the magnetic system around temperature T, H is the applied external magnetic field, C is the heat capacity of the working magnet (refrigerant) and M is the magnetization of the refrigerant.

  8. Air handler - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_handler

    An air handler, or air handling unit (often abbreviated to AHU), is a device used to regulate and circulate air as part of a heating, ventilating, and air-conditioning system. [1] An air handler is usually a large metal box containing a blower , furnace or A/C elements, filter racks or chambers, sound attenuators , and dampers . [ 2 ]

  9. Thermomagnetic convection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermomagnetic_convection

    This form of heat transfer can be useful for cases where conventional convection fails to provide adequate heat transfer, e.g., in miniature microscale devices or under reduced gravity conditions. Ozoe group has studied thermomagnetic convection both experimentally and numerically. They showed how to enhance, suppress, and invert the convection ...
