  2. Noise and vibration on maritime vessels - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noise_and_vibration_on...

    These will absorb a part of the vibrations (and the noise) produced by the machines. To control the electromagnetic vibrations at the origin, skewing the electric motor or choosing a better slot/pole combination [3] will reduce electromagnetic force harmonics or avoid resonances between magnetic forces and structural modes of the electric motor.

  3. Low magnetic electric motor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Low_magnetic_electric_motor

    The vibration will result in structure borne noise, as well as unwanted acceleration forces or resonance, which eventually will harm or damage parts of the electric motor. To reduce the unbalance forces, precision balancing , as described in the American military standard MIL-STD-167-1A, [ 20 ] type I (internally exited) will be necessary.

  4. Rim-driven thruster - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rim-driven_thruster

    Rim–driven thruster, presented at SMM 2010 A rim-driven thruster mounted on a swing-out unit (design by silentdynamics GmbH) Voith rim thruster at SMM 2010 in Hamburg. The rim-driven thruster, also known as rim-driven propulsor/propeller (or RDP) is a novel type of electric propulsion unit for ships.

  6. Electromagnetically induced acoustic noise - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnetically...

    resistors: the braking resistors of electric trains, used to dissipate electrical power when the catenary is not receptive during braking, can make electromagnetically induced acoustic noise; coils: in magnetic resonance imaging, "coil noise" is that part of total system noise attributed to the receiving coil, due to its non-zero temperature.

  7. Air-independent propulsion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air-independent_propulsion

    Most such systems generate electricity, which in turn drives an electric motor for propulsion or recharges the boat's batteries. The submarine's electrical system is also used for providing "hotel services"—ventilation, lighting, heating etc.—although this consumes a small amount of power compared to that required for propulsion.

  8. Superconducting electric machine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superconducting_electric...

    Michael Faraday made a Homopolar motor in 1831. Superconducting DC homopolar machines use superconductors in their stationary field windings and normal conductors in their rotating pickup winding. In 2005 the General Atomics company received a contract for the creation of a large low speed superconducting homopolar motor for ship propulsion. [1]
