Generator / induction formulas help

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around calculating the current and voltage induced in a Faraday disc setup with stationary coils and a rotor. The user seeks formulas to determine these values based on the frequency and field strength of the exciter coils. Additionally, they want to calculate the magnetic field strength in the rotor poles and the output from the stator coils influenced by the rotor's magnetic field. Suggestions include using electromagnetic simulation software for accurate modeling and measurements, as well as the potential need for a physical prototype for practical insights. Overall, leveraging simulation tools is emphasized as a key approach to solving these electromagnetic calculations.

Hi , before I ask I want to say that I have done my “ homework” I did a search on this forums and I found a few hits but I couldn’t quite understand them or the numbers turned out wrong after I did my calculations. So I wanted to make a fresh thread , hope you folks will guide me , thanks.
So I have a set of coils and a faraday disc inbetween them , the disc is mounted on a rotor axis at both ends , so are the coils which are stationary , then the two faraday discs are connected with a wire which in the middle makes several turns on a pole attached to the rotor.In other words the two disc are connected with a conductor which makes a few turn solenoid in the middle and all of this is mounted on a rotor. Around the rotor is a stationary stator with some coils on it either made of enamel wire or copper foil depending on the design.
The stator coil is connected with a capacitor to the exciter coils for the faraday disc so that I get ac induction.So here is what I can’t calculate on my own , a formula with some explanation would be great.

I want to calculate the current and voltage induced in the disc at both ends depending on the frequency and field strength of the exciter coils.
Then I want to calculate the b field strength in the rotor poles when I will know how much current the faraday discs can supply at both ends.
And I guess the same for the final output coils mounted on the stator which would see the rotating b field of the rotor poles and armature which in fact would be created from the disc at each end of the rotor.

If you need any extra info to help me out or a drawing please ask.
Thank you.

Such problems are best to attack with softwares for electromagnetic field simulation
 
Any more help please?
 
I think an electromagnetic solver is your best hope. If you plan to do a lot of this sort of thing, it is worth investing the time to learn the tools.

Otherwise, you probably need to build a prototype and make measurements.

With a physical drawing, someone may be able to help a bit more (but not me).
 
I used to be an HVAC technician. One time I had a service call in which there was no power to the thermostat. The thermostat did not have power because the fuse in the air handler was blown. The fuse in the air handler was blown because there was a low voltage short. The rubber coating on one of the thermostat wires was chewed off by a rodent. The exposed metal in the thermostat wire was touching the metal cabinet of the air handler. This was a low voltage short. This low voltage...
Hey guys. I have a question related to electricity and alternating current. Say an alien fictional society developed electricity, and settled on a standard like 73V AC current at 46 Hz. How would appliances be designed, and what impact would the lower frequency and voltage have on transformers, wiring, TVs, computers, LEDs, motors, and heating, assuming the laws of physics and technology are the same as on Earth?
Thread 'Electromagnet magnetic field issue'
Hi Guys We are a bunch a mechanical engineers trying to build a simple electromagnet. Our design is based on a very similar magnet. However, our version is about 10 times less magnetic and we are wondering why. Our coil has exactly same length, same number of layers and turns. What is possibly wrong? PIN and bracket are made of iron and are in electrical contact, exactly like the reference design. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks. edit: even same wire diameter and coil was wounded by a...
