Single phase induction motor(SPIM) is one of the most widely used type of low power AC motors in the world, especially for domestic or commercial applications where a three phase power supply is not available. Fractional horse power of the SPIM have no starting torque their own. So there are several ways of starting SPIMS. The most common type is the starting capacitor installed in series with the auxiliary winding to increase the starting torque. Also, the auxiliary winding is disconnected once the speed of the motor reaches 70 to 80 [%] of the rated speed. In the conventional systems, this function is conducted by a centrifugal switch. But the mechanical centrifugal switch has many problems such as switch malfunction. This paper presents the starter design of SPIM capacitor starting switch using microcontroller.

For gas turbine engine starting, external power should be supplied with engine to accelerate to suitable rotational speed for air and fuel ignition conditions. Electric starting system for small gas turbine engine has simple system and light weight, so it is generally used for small aircraft. For system analysis of gas turbine engine electric starting system, Characteristics of battery, start motor, engine drag torque should be analyzed and theirs temperature effects should be considered. In this paper, preliminary design procedure of small gas turbine engine electric starting system and major design parameters were described.

Torque characteristics of a turbopump turbine was analyzed using the turbine performance test result. Specific torque of the subject turbine could be expressed as a linear function of corrected rotor speed at a fixed pressure ratio and it has been confirmed by the test result. It also found that corrected rotor speed-specific torque characteristics does not change anymore if the turbine pressure ratio is set bigger than a certain value. Using the turbine torque characteristics and pyro-starter performance test results, rotational speed development behavior of the turbopump was predicted. Prediction revealed that the lap time reaching 50% of turbopump design speed is less than 0.7 second. Effect of the thermal loss between pyro-starter and turbopump was negligible.

In this paper, the design sensitivity evaluation based on the 2-dimensional finite clement discretization is presented for the voltage source and eddy current problem. And it is applied to the two shape design problems of the rotor slot of 3-phase squirrel cage induction motors. The first is to increase the starting torque while keeping the rated torque fixed. The other is only to increase the torque at the rated speed while keeping the starting torque fixed. As an optimization method, the Gradient Projection method is used to control casily the torques for various speeds of rotor. One fourth of rotor is analyzed by using a semi-periodic boundary condition. Because the shape of rotor slot has much influence on the slip torque characteristic, the 10 design parameters are taken on the interface between rotor core and rotor bar. The initial shape of rotor slot is the trapezoidal typo with rounding corners.

The purpose of this paper is, as a preliminary step to study on the method of analysing the torque of toothed solid iron rotor, to make an inquiry into the torque calculation formula of homogenious solid iron rotor without slot. The starting point for its theoretical analysis on torque generated by eddy current in solid iron rotor is based on the maximum air gap flux density. In solid rotor induction motor, torque generated by rotor core is considerably large in the range of large slip. The calculated value and observed value on the test machine are also examined in this paper.

The single phase switched reluctance motor has many merits in practical use because it has simple operating drives and control systems, very high energy density per unit volume comparing with three phase SRM. But it has also problems which is a starting device and torque ripple. One of the major problems is torque ripple which causes increased undesirable acoustic noise and possibly speed ripple. This paper describes an approach to determine optimum magnetic circuit parameters to minimize the torque ripple.

In this study, flow-driven rotor simulations with a given load are conducted to analyze the operational characteristics of a vertical-axis Darrieus turbine, specifically its self-starting capability and fluctuations in its torque as well as the RPM. These characteristics are typically observed in experiments, though they cannot be acquired in simulations with a given tip speed ratio (TSR). First, it is shown that a flow-driven rotor simulation with a two-dimensional (2D) turbine model obtains power coefficients with curves similar to those obtained in a simulation with a given TSR. 3D flow-driven rotor simulations with an optimal geometry then show that a helical-bladed turbine has the following prominent advantages over a straight-bladed turbine of the same size: an improvement of its self-starting capabilities and reduced fluctuations in its torque and RPM curves as well as an increase in its power coefficient from 33% to 42%. Therefore, it is clear that a flow-driven rotor simulation provides more information for the design of a Darrieus turbine than a simulation with a given TSR before experiments.

Micromachines are extremely novel artifacts with a variety of special characteristics. Utilizing their tiny dimensions ranging roughly from 10 to $10^3$ micro-meters, the micromachines can perform tasks in a revolutionary manner that would be impossible for conventional artifacts. Micromachines are in general related to various coupled physical phenomena. They are required to be evaluated and designed considering the coupled phenomena. This paper describes finite element analysis (FEA) simulation of practical behaviors for the micro actuator. Especially, electric field modeling in micro actuators has been generally restricted to in-plane two-dimensional finite element analysis because of the complexity of the micro actuator geometry. However, in this paper, the actual three-dimensional geometry of the micro actuator is considered. The starting torque obtained from the in-plane two-dimensional analytical solutions were compared with that of the actual three-dimensional FE analysis results. The starting torque is proportional to $V^2$, and that the two-dimensional analytical solutions are larger than the three- dimensional FE ones. It is found that the evaluation of micro actuator has to be considered electrical leakage phenomenon.
