...could be lots of possibilities for something that could easily create high voltage. However, the only way to do that would be to get a multimillion-dollar power plant that would also have enough current to instantly kill you. Having the whole thing in a Faraday cage (a device that directs and changes the forms of high current and some radiation so you won’t be killed by it) would be very inconvenient, so that wouldn’t work. The problem with large, expensive, and dangerous equipment is that it isn’t easily accessible to really anybody but entire countries, so a new solution was needed. But, high voltage and high power are two different things. Electrical power (measured in...

...Neodymium and Wind Turbines Even though the rare earth elements form the largest chemical group in the periodic table, they are generally unfamiliar and do not gain much attention. Nonetheless, the rare earth elements are crucial for many application in different fields. For instance, high technology and environmental application of the rare earth elements have been importantly developed in the past few decades. One of the most important application from the rare earth elements is permanent magnets, which do not lose its magnetic field or lose the magnetic field in a very low rate in a long period of time. The reasons give such a distinguished characteristic to the magnets is that rare earth magnets are ferromagnetic, and they have a crystalline structure. Among the other rare earth elements, neodymium with iron and boron create the most powerful magnet. This unusual strength happens because of the tetragonal crystalline structure of the compound. This powerful permanent magnet is widely used in many application, especially wind turbines, and it result in many significant profits. Rare earth elements are the sets of seventeen chemical elements in the periodic table, specifically the fifteen lanthanides plus scandium and yttrium. They are cerium (Ce), dysprosium (Dy), erbium (Er), europium (Eu), gadolinium (Gd), holmium (Ho), lanthanum (La), lutetium (Lu), neodymium (Nd), praseodymium (Pr), promethium (Pm), samarium (Sm), scandium (Sc), terbium (Tb), thulium (Tm), ytterbium...

...Hints for Using the Van de Graaff Generator Any good physics text or website will have a good summary of how the Van de Graaff generators works. This website is excellent: http://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/hbase/hframe.html The motor in the Van de Graaff base plugs into an normal AC outlet. Once turned on, the motor scrapes then deposits charged particles onto the tan-colored rubber belt, which runs around a roller to the upper metal dome. Charged particles are deposited inside the dome but immediately move to the outer surface of the dome. Since these particles have the similar charges, they repel from one another as much as possible and evenly distribute themselves around the surface. Any object—finger, meter stick, elbow, hair, tongue, balloon, pith ball, etc.—that comes near enough to the dome will respond to these extra charged particles. Preliminary cautions: 1. The Van de Graaff can produce a spark that is simply irritating or quite dangerous. A spark several centimeters long can be the equivalent of 100 000 volts or more. The size of the sparks and their voltage will change with the speed of the motor, ambient room temperature and humidity (fewer sparks on humid days, nasty ones during dry winter days). The “good thing” is that this spark is of short time duration, so it may be painful but not health-threatening. The “bad thing” is that some students and teachers are very sensitive to shocks, either for emotional reasons or actual physical reasons (what...

...CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 Background of the Study In this age of industrialization and globalization, the importance of electricity is unquestionable. Considered as one of the basic needs of mankind, it is essential not only in performing household tasks or maintaining livelihood activities, but also in improving people’s well-being. Through electrification, people have greater access to productivity and developments in technology, infrastructure, health, education, communication, and even modern and sustainable livelihoods. However, despite its importance there are still many households especially here in Mindanao which do not have connection to electricity. Based on the results of the 2008 Annual Poverty Indicators Survey, two in every five poor Filipino families living in the urban or rural areas do not have electricity in their homes (National Statistics Office, 2008). The reason for this is the high cost of electricity.For the economically disadvantaged, electricity is considered a luxurious necessity. Another problem that confronts electricity utilization both in the urban and rural areas is the frequent power rate increase and the prevailing power shortages. Based on the situation here in Iligan City as of May 2013, insufficient power supply caused Iligan Light and Power, Inc. (ILPI) to purchase additional 10 MW from MPC (Mapalad Power Corporation). This resulted to increase in power cost from Php 6.53 per kWh to Php 7.67 per kWh. With the increase in demand, possibility...

...mileage. Or maybe worried that the car is contributing to the greenhouse effect. The auto industry has the technology to address these concerns. It's the hybrid car. You're probably aware of hybrid. Any vehicle is a hybrid when it combines two or more sources of power. This is an improvement over the electric car, which uses gasoline engine along with electric motor powered by batteries. In the series system of the hybrid car engine driven generator is employed to recharge the batteries while the electric motor drives the car. Where as in parallel system the heat engine is directly connected to the electric motor. The key to a hybrid car is that the gasoline engine can be much smaller than the one in a conventional car and therefore more efficient. INTRODUCTION We might wonder why anyone would build such a complicated machine when most people are perfectly happy with their gasoline-powered cars. The reason is twofold: to reduce tailpipe emissions and to improve mileage. The emissions standards dictate how much of each type of pollution a car is allowed to emit in to atmosphere. The amount is usually specified in grams per mile (g/mi)....

...Permanent Magnetic Generator Construction Manual http://HoJoMotor.com Our Team Doing an On-site Assembly in Peru http://HoJoMotor.com Section 1) Introduction This manual describes how to build a 'permanent magnet generator' (PMG). We can also call it an 'alternator', because it generates alternating current (AC). It will not generate 'mains voltage' or 'utility power' AC. It generates low voltage, 'three phase' AC, and then changes it into 'direct current' (DC) for charging a 12 volt battery. What this PMG is made of 1) EXPLODED PMG The PMG (see diagram 1) consists of: • • • • A steel spine and shaft. A stator containing coils of wire Two magnet rotors A rectifier The stator contains six coils of copper wire, cast in fiberglass resin. This stator casting is mounted onto the spine; it does not move. Wires from the coils take electricity to the rectifier, which changes the AC to DC for charging the battery. The rectifier is mounted on an aluminum 'heatsink' to keep it cool. http://HoJoMotor.com The magnet rotors are mounted on bearings, which turn on the shaft. The rear rotor is behind the stator, and enclosed within it. The front one is on the outside, fixed to the rear one by long studs which pass through a hole in the stator. The wind turbine rotor blades will be mounted on the same studs. They will turn the magnet rotors, and move the magnets past the coils. Magnetic flux passes from one rotor to the other through the stator. This moving magnetic flux...

...Service for the 21st Century” Robert Cropf asks “How do we ensure that bureaucrats remain accountable?” A tough question to answer in the face of political agendas at work in our society. This case is an example of how public servants are manipulated into activities and behaviors which favor business at the expense of public safety. It is a lesson which every public servant especially those higher up the chain must learn and remain steadfast in their avoidance of learning once more. Additionally, this case is significant in that public servants are not immune to prosecution for their crimes or their perceived acts of good intentions. “While the labels differ, most working in this area agree that governmental, political, or state crimes are illegal or socially injurious acts committed for the benefit of a state or its agencies, not for the personal gain of some individual agent of the state” (Matthews, R., & Kauzlarich, D., 2000). (2) What are the basic chronology of facts in the case? What is the basic sequence of events? Jan 31, 1996, ValuJet purchased two MD-82s and one MD-83 on Feb. 1, 1996. The three airplanes were transported to the Saber Tech maintenance facility in Miami for overhaul and maintenance. In the course of their work SabreTech determined that all of the canisters needed to be replaced. ValuJet directed SabreTech to replace all of the oxygen canisters and explicit instructions on how to remove the generators. ValuJet provided a general warnings about the...

...describes algorithms for the generation of pseudorandom numbers with both uniform and normal distributions. 9.1 Pseudorandom Numbers 0.814723686393179 Here is an interesting number: This is the first number produced by the Matlab random number generator with its default settings. Start up a fresh Matlab, set format long, type rand, and it’s the number you get. If all Matlab users, all around the world, all on different computers, keep getting this same number, is it really “random”? No, it isn’t. Computers are (in principle) deterministic machines and should not exhibit random behavior. If your computer doesn’t access some external device, like a gamma ray counter or a clock, then it must really be computing pseudorandom numbers. Our favorite definition was given in 1951 by Berkeley professor D. H. Lehmer, a pioneer in computing and, especially, computational number theory: A random sequence is a vague notion . . . in which each term is unpredictable to the uninitiated and whose digits pass a certain number of tests traditional with statisticians . . . 9.2 Uniform Distribution Lehmer also invented the multiplicative congruential algorithm, which is the basis for many of the random number generators in use today. Lehmer’s generators involve three integer parameters, a, c, and m, and an initial value, x0 , called the seed. A September 16, 2013 1 2 sequence of integers is defined by xk+1 = axk + c mod m.

...price and also by the decision making. The microeconomics is the supply and demand. The simulation shows the apartments going up and down in supply and demand in cost and in availability. When there are population changes within the city of Atlantis, this will factor in whether or not there will be a need for the apartments. The quantity of demand increases while the prices fall and everything else remains the same. While the supplies are decreasing the prices also fall and things will still remain the same. Working for a company that makes engines and generators can benefit from using the supply and demand tactic. For example if there is a natural disaster that hits a state and the whole state is without power for a whole month this is where supply and demand would come into play. The supply would decrease and the demand in quantity would increase. The company could increase the price of the generator if...
