Optimum Design of TFLM with Constraint to Maximize Thrust Force, Minimize Detent Force for Weight Reduction Using Characteristic Function
This paper presents optimum design of transverse flux linear motor(TFLM) for household electric refrigerator. We use a characteristic function, table of orthogonal array and three-dimensional equivalent magnetic circuit network (EMCN) method to explain correlations between the objective function and design variables, maximize thrust force and minimize detent force for weight reduction. This paper procedure is validated by the comparison between experimental and calculation results
Analytical design and analysis procedure for a transverse flux machine
A transverse flux machine (TFM) offers a higher specific torque and power density than a conventional radial flux machine, though at a cost of a poorer power factor. This paper provides an analytical approach to dimension an application-specific TFM and analyse its performance for first order calculations. Important features of TFMs are also outlined to facilitate an understanding of its operation and design. The design is explained with reference to an arbitrarily chosen application; a TFM wind generator. Only a surface mounted, single sided, outer rotor TFM generator design is treated. The method can however be equally applied to other types of TFMs, with proper adjustments of the analytical models.
Nietzsche's Task: An Interpretation of Beyond Good and Evil
When Nictzsche published Beyond Good and Evil in 1886, he told a friend that it was a book that would not be read properly until "around the year 2000". Now Laurence Lampert sets out to fulfill this prophecy by providing a section by section interpretation of this philosophical masterpiece that emphasises its unity and depth as a comprehensive new doctrine on nature and humanity. According to Lampert, Nietzsche begins with a critique of philosophy that is ultimately affirmative, because it shows how philosophy can arrive at a defensible ontological account of the way of all beings. Nietzsche next argues that a new post-Christian religion can arise out of the affirmation of the world disclosed to philosophy. Then, turning to the implications of the new ontology for morality and politics, Nietzsche argues that these can be reconstituted on the fundamental insights of the new philosophy. Nietzsche's comprehensive depiction of this anti-Platonic philosophy ends with a chapter on nobility, in which he contends that what can now be publicly celebrated as noble in our species are its highest achievements of mind and spirit.
