1. INTRODUCTION
Active Magnetic Bearings (AMBs) have many advantages over conventional bearings. Their uncommon features and the appeal towards high speed machines make them attractive for certain common rotor/bearing applications. Thus, AMBs have been researched significantly for a few years, and several advance improvements in performance have been achieved. In magnetic bearing system, the rotor is magnetically suspended. The magnetic bearing system has the advantage that it does not need any oil. This advantage will prevent radioactive contamination of the system in case of the reactor. This in turn makes the surrounding environment safer.
As compared to a conventional lubricated bearing system, magnetic bearing system is a much cleaner

The force capacity of these electromagnets can be calculated based on simplified magnetic circuit analysis. Electromagnetic actuator consists of a core, coil for winding, bobbin, etc. Components of the electromagnet are described below-
Core
The iron core consists of insulated lamination sheets and minimizes eddy current losses. It is a material, conducting the magnetic field to the air gap. Its magnetic saturation as well as magnetic permeability has to be high.
Windings
The winding is made of an insulated conductor wound on the soft magnetic core. In order to improve the efficiency of the AMB, the conductor should have a low electrical resistance and must be wound with a high fill-factor. The current through the winding is the source of magnetic field.
1.3.3 Sensors Basically the sensor measures the position of suspension material and coverts into signal .Since AMBs are actively controlled regarding to the sensor signal, the control performance depends on the sensor performance. Different types of sensors are used in AMBs i.e.-: inductive, eddy current, capacity and optical displacement

This is the differential driving mode of AMB model which contains the two E- actuator facing opposite to each other. Two power amplifier is used to supply current to actuator.

3. Insulation material: made from XLPE and isolate between the three phases, its thickness is about 5.5 mm along the cable 4. Outer semiconductor: uniformly distribute the voltage on the surface of the insulation 5. Earth layer: made from copper, used to ground the cable, in case of short circuit it protect the cable by leaking the short circuit current into the ground, its thickness is about 25mm2 area 6. Filling: synthetic fibers used to make the cable circular and to fill the gap between the phases 7.

At first, the magnetic field sensor was plugged into analog A. Next; a magnetic field sensor was open in the Database Studio software by following several instructions. Once the magnetic fields sensor was free, we clicked on the “digits” that was on the lower left side of the screen. Then, the window appeared where it was ready to record the magnetic field. After the computer part was completely set up, we measured the diameter of the Helmholtz coil several times to get the more accurate measurement and recorded the measurement in the data. Later, we set up our device in a way that current flows in the same direction for all the coil.
The speed of DC motor can be controlled by the variable supply voltage or by changing the strength of current. Small DC motors are used in toys, tools, and appliances. Larger DC motors are used in propulsion of electric vehicles, in drives for steel rolling mills, elevator
[26]. The insulation resistance is measured using a mega ohm bridge or a mega ohm meter. An applied DC voltage is used to measure the insulation resistance of the connectors in kΩ, MΩ, or GΩ. If the connector is going to operate at special conditions, then the environmental requirements needs to be incorporated. The electrical insulation begins to age as soon as it is installed, this deterioration can affect the performance. It is used as quality control during production of the connector, preventive maintenance tasks and as a troubleshooting
Introduction to Physics Lab (ZBT1) Electromagnetic Induction Marc Westover C164 ZBT1 Task 2 Professor Taha Mzoughi 03/14/2017 Introduction This experiment describes a physics lab on electromagnetic induction. It will test if coils of looped wire produce an electric current and if the number of coils makes a difference in a reading.
We can just write the 1-D version of Newton’s Second Law: Fx = max where ax is the acceleration defined positive in the x-direction. Finally note that the variable m what is called “mass” refers to the inertia of a body. In other words m tells you how hard it is to acceleration something.
A bus is a shared link between the different components of a computer. A computer may contain different number of buses. Only one device can communicate over the bus at one time. It actually interconnects the processor with the memory unit and the I/O unit. Buses include certain set if wires or lines which are used for communication between the components.
• Advantages 1. By using NM, doctors have higher chances of early detection of diseases and heath conditions which increase the percentage of healing (5 Advantages and Disadvantages of Nuclear Medicine, 2016). 2. Images that are produced by this system are detailed and accurate. Even the most sensitive parts are showen in great detail without any surgeries (5 Advantages and Disadvantages of Nuclear Medicine, 2016).
Throughout his career, Tesla discovered, designed and developed ideas for a number of important inventions — most of which were officially patented by other inventors — including dynamos (electrical generators similar to batteries) and the induction motor. He was also a pioneer in the discovery of radar technology, X-ray technology, remote control and the rotating magnetic field — the basis of most AC machinery. Tesla is most well-known for his contributions in AC electricity and for the Tesla coil. AC Electrical System Tesla designed the alternating-current (AC) electrical system, which would quickly become the preeminent power system of the 20th century and has remained the worldwide standard ever since. In 1887, Tesla found funding for his new Tesla Electric Company, and by the end of the year he had successfully filed several patents for AC-based inventions.
The control rods job is to absorb some of the neutrons that are created in the fission reactions in the chin of reactions. The purpose of this is to reduce the number of neutrons available with in the reaction to continue the chain reaction. The control rods change the amount of available neutrons there are in the reactions, to change this the control rods are moved up and down inside the reactor core, the more or less neutrons they absorb. The amount of neutrons absorbed decreases as the control rods are lifted up so the reactions will happen faster which causes the reactors to get hotter and vice versa when the control rods are moved down.
In order for a machine to work, they had to provide energy to it via water wheels, horses or via hands/feet. However by 1900 WHAT HAPPENED... Despite the significance of these changes, I believe
CHAPTER 2 THEORITICAL FOUNDATION 2.1. Theory of Fashion Sportswear Something what you wear is a common definition of what fashion is, but it is a different meaning to different people. Based on a French designer, Coco Channel, fashion is not always defined our clothing choices, but also projected how you carry yourself, your personalities, behavior, perspective, and lifestyle. Basically, it is represented and projected who you are.
Bearing the Cross does two things extremely well: it provides an in-depth, honest account of MLK, Jr.’s life, and it chronicles the Southern Christian Leadership Conference’s role in the 1960’s civil rights movement. The latter is what I found most interesting, and relevant to current events. The SCLC, with Martin as its leader, formed, in a sense, as a response to Brown v. Board of Education. Brown represented a huge legal victory for the NAACP, but many black people weren’t experiencing any tangible changes in its wake. SCLC’s goal was to use protests and other non-violent tactics to pressure local governments to actually enforce the rights that the Supreme Court had announced: in other words, while the Court said separate-but-equal was illegal, communities ruled by white people (i.e. most everywhere in the U.S.) needed a visceral push to actually enforce the ban on legal segregation.
