2. Cross-flow turbine - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cross-flow_turbine

   A blade is made in a part-circular cross-section (pipe cut over its whole length). The ends of the blades are welded to disks to form a cage like a hamster cage and are sometimes called "squirrel cage turbines"; instead of the bars, the turbine has the trough-shaped steel blades. The water flows first from the outside of the turbine to its inside.

3. Squirrel-cage rotor - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Squirrel-cage_rotor

   Squirrel-cage induction motors are very prevalent in industry, in sizes from below 1 kilowatt (1.3 hp) up to tens of megawatts (tens-of-thousand horsepower). They are simple, rugged, and self-starting, and maintain a reasonably constant speed from light load to full load, set by the frequency of the power supply and the number of poles of the ...

   An example of a wind turbine, this 3 bladed turbine is the classic design of modern wind turbines Wind turbine components : 1-Foundation, 2-Connection to the electric grid, 3-Tower, 4-Access ladder, 5-Wind orientation control (Yaw control), 6-Nacelle, 7-Generator, 8-Anemometer, 9-Electric or Mechanical Brake, 10-Gearbox, 11-Rotor blade, 12-Blade pitch control, 13-Rotor hub

5. Centrifugal fan - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centrifugal_fan

   Centrifugal fans often contain a ducted housing to direct outgoing air in a specific direction or across a heat sink; such a fan is also called a blower, blower fan, or squirrel-cage fan (because it looks like a hamster wheel). Tiny ones used in computers are sometimes called biscuit blowers. These fans move air from the rotating inlet of the ...

6. Damper winding - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Damper_winding

   Bars and rings of the damper (amortisseur) winding of an AC generator (General Electric, early 20th century). Note the gaps in the cage along the quadrature axes. The damper winding (also amortisseur winding [1]) is a squirrel-cage-like winding on the rotor of a typical synchronous electric machine. It is used to dampen the transient ...

7. Variable speed wind turbine - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Variable_speed_wind_turbine

   A fully rated converter can either be an induction generator or a permanent magnet generator. Unlike the DFIG, the FRC can employ a squirrel cage rotor in the generator; an example of this is the Siemens SWT 3.6-107, which is termed the industry workhorse. [7] An example of a permanent magnet generator is the Siemens SWT-2.3-113. [8]
