Are Oil Filter Magnets Worth It? You may have heard of oil filter magnets. They’re high quality magnets you put into your disposable oil filter. The purpose of an oil filter magnet is to create a magnetic field within the oil filter. A good quality magnet will trap the tiny ferrous metal particles in the [...]
How Magnetic Oil Filtration Helps Gearboxes Work Longer Have you wondered how exactly magnetic oil filtration can help the longevity of your vehicle? According to Design World Online: According to the National Renewable Energy Lab (NREL), gearbox problems are the number one cause of turbine downtime. Although the wind industry is getting a handle on [...]
Wind Turbines VAWTs and HAWTs When you talk about modern wind turbines, you're looking at two primary designs: horizontal-axis and vertical-axis. Vertical-axis wind turbines (VAWTs) are pretty rare. The only one currently in commercial production is the Darrieus turbine, which looks kind of like an egg beater. Wind Turbines VAWTs and HAWTs In [...]
Advanced permanent-magnet generator for gearless wind turbines Main target of the PERMAGWIT project was the design, manufacturing and testing of an extremely silent, efficient and reliable 1.5MW direct drive generator system for gearless pitch-controlled wind turbines. A prototype of the generator, the electronic power converter and a suitable turbine nacelle should be developed within this [...]
Driving down the cost of wind power permanent magnet generators Wind-turbine manufacturers are looking for a drivetrain that delivers high efficiencies at part load, increased availability, and with a simplified grid-tie that protects the generator from grid-side disturbances. The designs should also be applicable to direct-drive, medium speed, and high-speed systems. Many wind turbine OEMs [...]
