Eddy-current brakes as primary brakes in automobiles can potentially remedy the problems
posed by conventional friction brakes. First, however, it will be necessary to analyze the …

A self-excited induction generator (SEIG) can be a candidate for isolated applications
because it does not require any external exciting power but can independently generate …

This book deals with the design of pulsed coils for the generation of high magnetic fields.
The scope is limited to nondestructive coils. The book's pur pose is to provide the designer …

The principle operation of eddy current brakes is based on relative motion of a rigid
conductive core in a magnetic field. In spite of simple structure, eddy current brakes employ …

In this article, the magnetic analysis of a rail eddy current brake (ECB) with ring structure
winding and ac excitation is presented. Differing from the ECBs with dc excitation, the …

Purpose This paper aims to provide a new method of generating relatively accurate and
smooth saturated BH curves based on reliable measurement data to improve the accuracy …

In this paper, a novel hybrid excitation linear eddy current brake is presented as a braking
system for high-speed road and rail vehicles. The presence of the permanent magnets …

This article designs an electromagnetic rotating eddy current brake (ECB), which has the
advantages of no wear and low noise compared with traditional friction brake. First, using …

Overwinding protection devices are used to brake hoisting containers before these
containers reach a limited height, thereby preventing the hoisting containers from impacting …

The investigation of eddy-current and magnetic rail brake structures is described.
Comparisons on experimental and computed operating characteristics of eddy-current and …
