AC induction motors are everywhere, from ceiling fans to vehicles. They’re reliable, simple, and rugged — but there are some disadvantages. It’s difficult to control the speed ...

Today's video continues our featured build series, this time around it's sponsored by be quiet! and the Dark Base Pro 901. I ...

Inside Michigan Tech's Aging, Cognition and Action Lab, space debris rains down on a screen as players scramble to deflect it ...

BMW's electric M cars are coming soon, with four motors, simulated gear shifts and other high-performance upgrades.

Late last year, we drove BMW’s new iX3. It’s the first of a series of electric BMWs to use a newly developed platform, known ...

Abstract: Fuzzy logic controls (FLCs) have emerged as a promising solution for speed regulation in induction motor (IM) drives, offering adaptability to non-linearities, parameter variations, and ...

SCR speed controllers that supply 180Vdc motors from 240Vac mains are wonderfully robust, but have the drawback that they always present fast-rising voltage edges to the motor’s armature at a 100Hz ...

For IGBTs, the on-state voltage drop is a critical specification to consider. This drop includes both the diode drop across ...

Abstract: In this study, we propose a modified model predictive control (MMPC) approach combined with an adaptive second-order disturbance observer (ASDO) for efficient speed control of permanent ...

A confidence-weighted exponential moving average was introduced to improve the robustness and interpretability of UAV-based speed estimation under complex observation conditions. This update adds ...

The drive letter X: in Windows usually stands for the use of a RAM disc. RAM refers to Random Access Memory, i.e. the working memory of your PC. You can make part of it available as a RAM disc and ...
