  2. 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]

  3. 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 ...

  5. Faraday effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Faraday_effect

    Michael Faraday holding a piece of glass of the type he used to demonstrate the effect of magnetism on polarization of light, c. 1857.. By 1845, it was known through the work of Augustin-Jean Fresnel, Étienne-Louis Malus, and others that different materials are able to modify the direction of polarization of light when appropriately oriented, [4] making polarized light a very powerful tool to ...

  6. Alternator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alternator

    An alternator that uses a permanent magnet for its magnetic field is called a magneto. Alternators in power stations driven by steam turbines are called turbo-alternators. Large 50 or 60 Hz three-phase alternators in power plants generate most of the world's electric power, which is distributed by electric power grids. [4]

  7. Faraday rotator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Faraday_rotator

    Polarization mechanism due to the Faraday effect. The field lines are usually closed through a permanent magnet around the rotator.. A Faraday rotator is a polarization rotator based on the Faraday effect, a magneto-optic effect involving transmission of light through a material when a longitudinal static magnetic field is present.

    That said, Magneto and Rogue's relationship does have comic book origins. There are multiple instances where the two get together, as both Rogue and Magneto have both at one point or another been ...

  9. E and M signaling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E_and_M_signaling

    E for earth and magneto for M, from the very earliest days of telephony. An actual magneto was used to apply −48 volts to the M lead through mechanical relay switches, while the E lead is normally held to ground (earth) unless acknowledging the signaling from the M lead.
