    Best device for low power DC current generator

    I know that. I will be able to adjust the load on the generator in order to set the voltage. Martin

    Best device for low power DC current generator

    thanks for the answers. I would like to clarify my question. What I want to do is convert mechanical power to electric power. Since I don't have a lot of power (between 60 to 100W) I want to have the more efficient solution. I have found a 10A permanent magnet DC generator that can do the job. I...

    Best device for low power DC current generator

    Hi, I would like to know what is the best device to use to convert mechanical power to DC current (low voltage 12 V, low power, about 60 to 100 Watts). I want to know if a brushless DC motor is the right choice? Is it more efficient to use a 12 VDC brushless motor or a higher voltage motor (90...

    Allowable stress in bolts

    I would like to know if the shear stress has an influence on the allowable tension stress even if the shear is small. In the LRFD table J3.5, there is a formula of the form 117-2.5*fv<=90. So for small values of fv, the allowable tension stress stay at 90 which is the maximum. Is it the same...

    Allowable stress in bolts

    I want to checked bolts in a capacitor bank structure for seismic and wind load cases. I use the IEEE 693-1997 standard which refers to the AISC Manual of Steel Construction ASD. Someone tells me to use allowable stresses of 0.17*F_tu in shear and 0.33*F_tu in tension which are supposed to came...
