Parallel Path Electromagnetic Motors -- A Revolution in Motion?
OSEN (ContentDesk via ContentDesk Direct) February 21, 2006 -- Joe Flynn from Flynn Research is working on a new technology called "Parallel Path" with Boeing Phantom Works. The technology claims to be able to increase magnet motor efficiency substantially, even over the 100% barrier. They have received a US Patent. At Flynn Research, Parallel Path electromagnetism is explained as a method of controlling and directing magnetic flux within the core of a motor to provide an exponentially greater motive force than conventional motors. From their technical brief about the technology, Parallel Path could very well usher in a new age of powerful and highly-efficient electric motors.The venerable electric motor operates on well-understood principles.
A stator contains a coil that when energized with alternating current, generates a magnetic force which in turn acts on a rotor to produce motive force. Electric motors can turn the blades of a desk fan, the wheels of an electric or hybrid car, or the even the propeller of a massive cruise ship. Motors come in widely different sizes, though they share one characteristic--for each unit of electrical power consumed, contemporary motors generate a smaller unit of motive force. According to the laws of conservation, this makes sense. You should not be able to get more out of a system than you put into it and when someone claims to have invented something which does otherwise, skeptics are quick to challenge the validity of any claim that appears to violate conservation.According to the technical brief at the Flynn Research website, Parallel Path is a quantum leap in electromagnetic motor technology that requires no exotic materials or questionable science.
A Parallel Path motor uses a pair of permanent magnets in addition to the familiar stator-coil-rotor arrangement of current motors. The magnets, along with an air gap, allow all of the magnetic flux within the core to be manipulated and directed--this ability to manipulate the magnetic flux in the core of a motor is what provides the exponential increase in efficiency with Parallel Path technology. Best of all, the Parallel Path technology can be used with linear as well as rotary electric motors.Independent replications of the Parallel Path technology appear to support Flynn Researchs claims. Testing and Finite Element Analysis show that the Parallel Path system indeed manages to not only increase the magnetic flux in the core by a factor of four over conventional electric motors, but manipulate the flux to act in the direction of motion, generating considerably more motive power than conventional motors.While this is still a new technology, motors built with Parallel Path technology could provide a much-needed boost to the electric vehicle industry by providing motors that generate a lot of motive power while using considerable less electrical power.What lends even more credibility to Parallel Path is that Boeing Phantom Works is apparently backing the technology and has recently presented with Flynn Research on the technology at the latest STAIF conference held Albuquerque, NM this Feb 2006.Flynn Research also has a patent that is certainly worth checking out its number is US Patent No. 6,246,561Discussion link: http://forum.osen.org/Home/tabid/36/forumid/11/postid/165/view/topic/Default.aspxFull Article:http://www.opensourceenergy.org/txtlstvw.aspx?LstID=005f1c72-43ec-4bba-a318-90b4c7a3ef71Full Details:http://forum.osen.org/Home/tabid/36/forumid/16/postid/174/view/topic/Default.aspxContact: Matthew CarsonOpen Source Energy Network ( OSEN ) CanadaPhone: 1.888.759.7057 ext 709Website: http://www.opensourceenergy.org.
View from the barber's chair
IF you want to get your hair cut in Villefranche du Perigord, a village in the heart of France, you have two choices. On one side of the street is a hairdressers, all chrome and shiny mirrors, a little further down is a barbers of the cutthroat razor kind. But it's no Sweeny Todd style shop more a great place to enjoy a heavy dose of French life. I'd already prepared myself for the visit, learning the French word for short, for a little shorter please and leave the sideburns as they are. Well maybe not the last one.
I was also hoping that there would be a couple of pictures on the wall, like all good barbers, that I could at least point to. But I then had a panic attack as I thought they all might be pictures from the 70's and I'd have to point to something that the Hair Bear Bunch would be proud of. As I walked into the shop there was an old chap sat in the chair with the barber tending to his hair and chatting away. They both turned towards me and said ?bonjour'. I returned...

Use the Right Floor Maintenance Equipment For the Job
Copyright 2006 The Janitorial Store
One of the first add-on services most cleaning contractors want to add to their janitorial service is floor care - stripping and waxing, burnishing, and buffing. In order to perform these services, you must use the right equipment for the job.
The following is a list of the most commonly used equipment that cleaning contractors use in floor care. Equipment is either electric, battery-operated, or propane. Most cleaning contractors will use electric equipment in smaller cleaning accounts and office buildings. Propane equipment is most often used on large floor areas such as those in retail stores and grocery stores.
Slow Speed Buffer (also known as a side-by-side or swing machine).
Slow speed machines are used for a variety of tasks including stripping floors, scrubbing floors, sanding wood floors, and carpet cleaning using cotton bonnets. They come in sizes ranging from 13" (for use in tight areas) to 20",...

Leaner, Meaner Air Compressors that Won?t Let You Down
The challenge of containing energy and maintenance costs while ensuring a reliable supply of available air is a prime reason why many industrial users of compressed air are turning to direct-drive electric air compressor systems.By eliminating moving parts such as belts, gears and pulleys, direct-drive rotary screw air compressors have fewer moving parts; hence, they are less likely to fail or require service or replacement parts. Fewer moving parts also mean added efficiency, which translates into energy savings. "We were frequently running out of air with our piston compressors," says Jim Cook, Construction Manager of Pick Your Part, the nation's leading self-service auto wrecker. "Now we use 25- and 30-HP direct drive units from Sullivan-Palatek to ensure that we can meet our demand for continuous and efficient air availability."With nine large yards located throughout California, Pick Your...

Taking the Ouch Out of Tech Support
(ContentDesk) October 11, 2005 -- With its offices in Camden Town - London, GadgetDoc provides consumers a utopian view of what tech support can be, when done right. Only using expert engineers who would normally get brought out as a third line of defence in most technical support services, GadgetDoc places a huge premium on something that is often forgotten in Technical Support - the customers valuable time. "Our customers are very busy people who have much better things to do with their time than to sit around waiting for the support line to pick up or for an engineer to arrive on time," said Babis Lagoussis, Sales Manager. GadgetDoc's revolutionary approach means that it places the onus on its engineers to get the work done on time and on budget. "We work on a fixed fee for success, meaning that if we do not fix your problem, we don't charge you.
If we take too long to fix it, then that's our problem too." So gone are the days when you nervously pace behind the support engineer...
