Alternators and Generators

1. Alternators vs. DC Generators

Alternators produce a usable voltage level at lower RPMs than DC generators because alternators have more field poles.

2. Delta Wound Three-Phase Alternator Stator

The windings wired in relation to each other in a delta-wound three-phase alternator stator are in series.

3. Generator Output

Generator output is expressed in the number of amps at rated voltage.

4. AC 43.13 Electrical System Design

The AC 43.13 suggests that the electrical system of an aircraft be designed so that when all systems are operating, no more than 80% of generator capacity can be exceeded.

5. Reverse Current Cutout Relay

The main function of a reverse current cutout relay in a generator system is preventing motoring of... Continue reading "Aircraft Electrical Systems" »

Effective Classroom Management & English Language Learning

Classified in Electronics

Written on in English with a size of 2.23 KB

The classroom space is used properly. Everything is very well positioned, and all areas are well-utilized. The classroom is organized into distinct corners:

  • Library corner
  • House corner
  • Building corner
  • Computer corner
  • Puzzles corner
  • Artistic corner
  • English corner

Children are responsible for keeping these corners tidy and for playing appropriately, respecting the rules in each area. When children finish playing, they collect and put away all the elements of the corner.

The teacher manages the class by directing the children's attention to pictures or objects. She speaks softly, sometimes telling them she is going to share a secret, which prompts the children to lower their voices and pay attention. She also uses rapid transitions between activities to...

Lesson 11: Informatics and ICT

What is Informatics?

Informatics is the science that studies the techniques and automated processes that act on data and information. The word "informatics" comes from the fusion of the terms "information" and "automatic".

What is ICT?

ICT stands for Information and Communication Technology. It is classified into three groups:

  1. Networks: Broadband, Television, Radio, Satellites
  2. Terminals: Television, Computers, Mobile Phones, Audio Players
  3. Services: Radio, Online Banks, Electronic Commerce, Messenger Services

Distinctive Features of ICT

  • Immateriality: Handling a lot of information in a small space.
  • Interactivity: Users can communicate practically.
  • Instantaneity: Linking processes are faster.
  • Innovation: Continuous update of

Finite Automata: Understanding Input Tape and Symbols

Classified in Electronics

Written on in English with a size of 126.48 KB

New Terminology of Finite Automata

  • We call the part of the FA where the input string resides while it is being run the Input Tape.
  • The Input Tape must be long enough for any possible input. Since any word in a* is a possible input, the Tape must be infinitely long.
  • The Tape has a first location for the first letter of the input, then a second location, and so on.
  • Therefore, we say that the Tape is infinite in only one direction.

A New Format for FAs

  • The locations into which we put the input letters are called cells. (See the table below)
  • Name the cells with lowercase Roman numerals.

a

a

b

Δ

Δ

  • The Δ is used to indicate the blank.
  • Input string is aab.
  • Input tape parsing.
  • As the Tape is processed on the machine, we read one letter at a time and eliminate each

Fundamentals of Electronics: Circuits, Components, and Arduino

Classified in Electronics

Written on in English with a size of 5.45 KB

A Circuit

A circuit is an unbroken loop of conductive material that allows electrons to flow through continuously without beginning or end. If a circuit is ”broken,” that means its conductive elements no longer form a complete path, and continuous electron flow cannot occur in it. The location of a break in a circuit is irrelevant to its inability to sustain continuous electron flow. Any break anywhere in a circuit prevents electron flow throughout the circuit.

A Fuse

A fuse element acts as a sacrificial device to provide overcurrent protection. Most fuses include a metal wire or strip that melts when too much current flows, which interrupts the circuit in which it is connected.

Electromotive Force (EMF)

To move electrons in a conductor in a... Continue reading "Fundamentals of Electronics: Circuits, Components, and Arduino" »

Introduction to Electric Circuits

Written on in English with a size of 4.92 KB

1. Electric Circuits

An electric circuit is a route around which electrons circulate. It consists of a generator, a cable, a switch, and a receiver. Electric current is the flow of electrons around a circuit. We need a generator to maintain the current.

Types of Materials

  • Conductors: Allow electric currents to pass through them (e.g., metals).
  • Insulators: Don't allow electric current to pass through them (e.g., plastics).
  • Semiconductors: Have properties between conductors and insulators (e.g., silicon and germanium).

Electrical Resistance

The electrical resistance of a material is a measure of the degree to which the material opposes an electric current flowing through it.

  • Metals have hardly any electrical resistance; insulators have very high levels

Classroom Learning Games for Language Skills

Analyzing Two Classroom Learning Activities

Learning Purpose

The relevance of these games will depend on your purpose. Both seem suitable for revision or practice of instructions.

  • Activity A involves counting and receptive language skills (reading and listening). It can also involve speaking if the teacher gets children to comment on what they are going to do.
  • Activity B involves listening and speaking, specifically giving and following instructions.

Learners

Both activities seem suitable for younger learners as they are simple to understand and carry out.

  • Activity A requires children to be able to count up to six, so it may not be suitable for very young learners (5 and under). It is more demanding linguistically in terms of receptive skills (reading
