  2. Van de Graaff generator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Van_de_Graaff_generator

    Van de Graaff generator diagram. A simple Van de Graaff generator consists of a belt of rubber (or a similar flexible dielectric material) moving over two rollers of differing material, one of which is surrounded by a hollow metal sphere. A comb-shaped metal electrode with sharp points (2 and 7 in the diagram), is positioned near each roller ...

    Main Wikipedia article: Electrical generator Description: Dynamos are no longer used for power generation due to the size and complexity of the commutator needed for high power applications. This large belt-driven high-current dynamo produced 310 amperes at 7 volts, or 2,170 watts, when spinning at 1400 RPM.

  4. Belt (mechanical) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Belt_(mechanical)

    The open belt drive has parallel shafts rotating in the same direction, whereas the cross-belt drive also bears parallel shafts but rotate in opposite direction. The former is far more common, and the latter not appropriate for timing and standard V-belts unless there is a twist between each pulley so that the pulleys only contact the same belt ...

  5. Strain wave gearing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strain_Wave_Gearing

    The wave generator is made of two separate parts: an elliptical disk called a wave generator plug and an outer ball bearing. The elliptical plug is inserted into the bearing, forcing the bearing to conform to the elliptical shape but still allowing rotation of the plug within the outer bearing. The flex spline is shaped like a shallow cup.

  6. Line shaft - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Line_shaft

    Four wool spinning machines driven by belts from an overhead lineshaft (Leipzig, Germany, circa 1925) The belt drives of the Mueller Mill, model and reality, in motionA line shaft is a power-driven rotating shaft for power transmission that was used extensively from the Industrial Revolution until the early 20th century.

  7. Motor–generator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motor–generator

    As an example, a 250 kVA motor–generator operating at 300 ampere of full load current will require 1550 ampere of in-rush current during a re-closure after 5 seconds. This example used a fixed mounted flywheel sized to result in a 1 ⁄ 2 Hz per second slew rate. The motor–generator was a vertical type two-bearing machine with oil-bath ...

  8. Shaft alignment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shaft_alignment

    [1] [2] When the equipment is down, production requiring the equipment may be delayed. Bearings or mechanical seals may be damaged and need to be replaced. Shaft alignment is the process of aligning two or more shafts with each other to within a tolerated margin. The process is used for machinery before the machinery is put in service.

    English: Diagram of revolving-field single phase generator with two poles. As the rotor turns, the lines of force at two poles are cut by the coils inducing current. The output from two coils are "in phase". The direction of current changes to the opposite site every 180 degrees of rotation.
