Abstract: Magnetic braking is an integral process in the evolution of low mass stars, impacting their rotation and tied to their magnetic field, winds, and possibly the dynamo. The development of ...

Eddy current braking systems utilise the generation of induced currents within a conductor, created by changes in magnetic fields, to provide smooth and contactless deceleration in various transport ...

JTEKT. has filed a patent for a method of magnetic braking in a vehicle steering system to aid driver installation and protect mechanical stops. The system includes a force feedback module with an ...

Unlike mechanical brakes, which are based on friction and kinetic energy, eddy current brakes rely on electromagnetism to stop objects from moving. Eddy currents are created when a conductor passes ...

One area of aircraft operation that can generate fuel savings and other benefits is landing and taxiing. Delos Aerospace developed a magnetic braking and ground-maneuvering system for use in landing ...

While it may seem like electric and hybrid vehicles are a recent innovation of the 21 st century, these technologies have been around for over a century. The first electric car, while extremely rough ...

Our 4.5-billion-year-old yellow-dwarf star used to be a rambunctious whippersnapper, much more active in its youth than middle age. But with age and maturity often comes stellar opportunity and a new ...

The secret is out: electric propulsion is a win. Whether we’re talking about a gas-electric hybrid, or a full-on battery-electric vehicle with no internal combustion engine, electric motors make ...
