The numerical results are represented by curves for the no-load radial flux density in a 95 KVA, 120/208 v 3,400 cps alternator. The results show that the fundamental airgap flux density depends on the length of the airgap and on the rotor tooth width. It depends only slightly on the rotor tooth depth and excitation. A more sinusoidal output voltage can be obtained by flaring the tips of the rotor tooth and widening the rotor tooth.","PeriodicalId":13050,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Aerospace","volume":"40 1","pages":"12-17"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1965-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80609109","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Results of the investigation provide an insight into the best system approach for supplying high frequency power. The effort was accomplished as part of Contract AF33(657)-11049 for the Research and Technology Division of Air Force Systems Command with Captain Harold L. Briggs as the Project Officer. Specifically, the conversion units analyzed are for supplying high-frequency (50 to 800KC), high-voltage power to accelerate plasma in an electric propulsion engine. Various conversion and power generation techniques are reviewed. Conceptual designs are established for conversion of 60 KW and 300 KW of power from a basic nuclear turbine system. A high frequency alternator is compared with a low frequency alternator using a frequency converter. A number of high frequency alternators are compared. Also, three frequency converter approaches are evaluated and compared; namely, a motor-generator unit, a transistor unit and a vacuum tube unit. The alternate system approaches are compared. Significant design data was derived for a high-speed, solid-rotor type of generator for generating a c power with frequencies up to 200 KC. Parametric data is included to show component sizes, weights and losses for converter units and high-frequency generator concepts. Problem areas for each conversion and generation technique are outlined.","PeriodicalId":13050,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Aerospace","volume":"21 1","pages":"411-422"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1965-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83832209","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
