Roughly 20% of the electricity produced in the United States every year is used to power industrial facilities and equipment. While electricity makes it possible for these facilities to operate, it also poses a very real hazard, with several hundred electricity-related fatalities occurring at the workplace every year. In order to avoid or treat electrical [...]
DC generators are widely used to produce a DC voltage. The amount of voltage produced depends on a variety of factors. A basic DC generator has four basic parts: a magnetic field; a single conductor, or loop; a commutator; and brushes. The magnetic field may be supplied by either a permanent magnet or an electromagnet. [...]
Belt drives for power transmissions are classified as frictional drives since the belt transmits power via friction between the belt and the driving and driven pulleys. Flat belts and V-belts transmit power by their grip on the pulley. The three major factors that determine the potential of grip are […]

I should be able to do it.” I cringe when they install electrical circuits or components, switches, lights, etc., and say “Don’t forget to turn off the power before attempting this.” This is usually followed by […]
3-D printing has come a long way in a relatively short time. NASA, who, up until recently, has been testing this technology to fabricate and test non-critical components such as brackets and ducts, has made a significant breakthrough by applying it to rocket engine components. The successful manufacture and testing of a rocket engine injector [...]
