I think there are some problems with walking in Scotland using magnetic compasses , due to the rocks ?? From: [email protected] Andy Talbot Sent: Thursday, September 22, 2011 9:15 PM To: rsgb_lf_g
Surely if the magnetic field leaked that much, the generators would suffer efficiency. They are designed as closed magnetic circuits, with all the field lines closely confined in iron, with small a
The big wind turbines we have around here, half a dozen or more visible from my QTH, are three phase alternators. The output of the alternators is rectified in the nacelle and two heavy cables take t
If these were DC machines and interconnected by high current DC lines one could imagine a substantial magnetic field, but I believe that these machines produce AC either directly or through an invert
Dennis On the motorway near Glasgow the GPS instructed me to keep right when in fact I had to keep to the left lane. Strange things happen in Scotland, the mystery was solved when I noticed the road
several have been installed locally and one of the electric folk gave a talk at the local radio club,, the speed of the blade tips will run close to 200 Mph thus the issue of birds flying into them.
Hi all I think the MoD have a say in the locating of Wind Turbines owing to there effect on RADAR but nothing to do with stray magnetic fields as far as I am aware. 73 es GL Pete M0FMT IO91UX47VN Fro
Hi All Chatting about this at the radio club last night, one member has noticed a similar effect as Mal when passing Letchworth swimming pool, though no wind generators in sight. Perhaps we have grem
Seems unlikely that the magnetism would reach that far to me - the magnetic field would be no different to any other large generating set - they are just an ordinary alternator driven through a gearb
Andy, you're right, generators (and motors) keep their magnetic field "inside" for the sake of efficiency. Besides that the inter-magnet force drops with the square of their distance (assumed that th
