The squirrel case induction motor has widely used in the driving of the blowers but it is low efficiency and hard to control. So, the damper is used for the control of a flow and it cause to low the driving efficiency. Our laboratory has proposed the single-phase SRM(switched reluctance motor) for driving blowers. It has salient pole structure and can be reduced a number of semiconductors than three-phase SRM. But it can not be starting by itself and has heavier torque ripple than three-phase SRM. For self-starting the single-phase SRM is required the starting device which place the rotor at the rising inductance slope. On this paper, the electromagnet starting device is designed to generate the starting torque and to fix the rotating direction of the single-phase SRM which is fabricaed to use a blower.

LIM(Linear induction motor)s are the main type of motors used for urban Maglev vehicles because they are less expensive to operate at a lower speed than linear synchronous motors. An LIM generates an attraction force while running, which perturbs the air gap of the electromagnet. This undesirable air gap variation could result in the mechanical contact of an electromagnet with the reaction plate. For this reason, the magnitude of the air gap variation must be limited within a certain range. The air gap changes when running the 1/2 vehicle under development for testing are analyzed through a test on the test track at KIMM. The results from this study could be used to minimize the air gap variations due to attraction force from LIM.

The purpose of this study was to apply the instruction consulting model for elementary science lesson with novice teacher. In this study the PIE(Preparation, Implementation and Evaluation stage) instruction consulting model was used. This model was introduced and offered during the electromagnet unit for sixth graders. The results of this study were as follows. First, in the assessment of the teacher's satisfaction with the instruction consulting the client teacher was found to be very satisfied. Second, the inquiry and scientific achievement for the students of the client's class were to increase in the experimental group, which demonstrated a statistically significant difference. Given the above results, the instruction consulting applied with the PIE model for novice teachers, who desire to raise the success rate of the experiment for students in the electromagnet unit of the elementary science class, helped the teachers to teach the students.

This paper treats the electromagnet type linear synchronous motor with induction operation. The proposed motor consists of the primary winding energized by variable frequency supplies and the secondary having an additional solid-conductor besides the field finding. The conductor is useful for not only the self-starting but also the damping effect In the synchronous drive. From the investigation by the experiment and the finite element analysis coupled with both electric circuit and motion equation we verify that the proposed motor is effective for practical use.

This paper presents an experimental and numerical study on current limiting characteristics of a fault current controller (FCC). The FCC consists of an AC/DC power converter, a superconducting coil, and a control unit. Even though some previous researches proved that the FCC could adjust the fault current level, the current limiting characteristics by the superconducting coil should be investigated for design of the coil. In this paper, four kinds of model coils were tested; 1) air core, 2) iron core without any bias, 3) reversely magnetized core (RMC) using permanent magnets, and 4) RMC using an electromagnet. Based on a comparative study, it is confirmed that a RMC by an electromagnet (EM) could increase the effective inductance of the coil. In this paper, a numerical code to simulate the HTS coil with RMC was developed. This code can be applied to design the HTS coil with active reversely magnetized bias coil.

Magnetic Levitation System(MLS) levitates a steel ball to the desired position in the gravity field using electromagnetic force. MLS consists of light sensor to measure the position of steel ball and an electromagnet to control the position of the ball, that composes a feedback control system. This work does not use a steel ball with constant mass but variable mass steel balls as magnetic levitation targets. Differential equation of electric circuit for electromagnet and motion equation of the movement of steel ball are derived for modeling nonlinear system, that will be linearized at the nominal operating point. We propose a digital control that can levitate a steel ball of which weight is not known for ED-4810 system. Algorithm for estimating ball weight and feedback control are implemented in digital scheme under pentium PC equiped with A/D and D/A converter, ACL-8112, using C-language. Simulation and experimental results are given to show the usefulness of the proposed controller.

Anti-lock Brake System has been developed to reduce tendency for wheel lock and improve vehicle control during sudden braking on slippery road surfaces. This is achieved by controlling the braking pressure avoiding wheel lock, while retaining handling and brake performance. This paper is concerned about characteristics of a solenoid valve in hydraulic modulator for controlling brake pressure. First, it was modeling the electromagnet by the permeance method. Second, it was modeling the commercial Maxwell poackage program. And then, a experiment was performed in order to justify modeling. The result of modeling coincided with teh result of experiment and commercial packabe program. As a result, these modelings will be able to use in analysis of dynamic character- istics of the solenoid valve for braking.

For an electromagnetic suspension (EMS)-type urban Maglev train using U-shaped electromagnets, both the vertical and the lateral air gaps for levitation are maintained only by the electromagnet. The train can run over curved rails without active lateral air gap control because the U-shaped electromagnet simultaneously produces both a levitation force and a guidance force, which is dependent on the levitation force. Owing to the passive control of the lateral air gap, the lateral vibration could exceed the limits of the lateral air gap and acceleration. In this study, dynamic analysis of a Maglev train is carried out, and the effectiveness of a lateral damper for vibration reduction is investigated. To more accurately predict the lateral vibration, a Maglev vehicle multibody model including air-sparing, guideway irregularities, electromagnets, and their controls is developed.

In this study, a novel magnetic field generator, using a shielding effect for controlling the dynamic stiffness and damping of magnetorheological gels, is proposed. A magnetorheological gel is a smart material that can alter its stiffness and damping, and it can be used as a vibration absorber and in vehicle suspension. It is necessary to control the magnetic field to use magnetorheological gels in various applications. There are two types of magnet field generators, namely the electromagnet and permanent magnet, and the electromagnet is generally used in practical applications. However, owing to its limitations, the electromagnet is not suitable for long-term use. Therefore, in this paper, a novel magnetic field generator is proposed to address such problems for use in real applications.
