The author has been a student of changing education culture over the last 35 years and proposes multistep schema to systematically build excellence in surgical education. is combination best practices principles from literature.

Small satellites for earth observation missions have received attention in the recent years for further optimisation. A potential approach would be to optimise the existing platforms in order to cope with their increasing mission requirements (e.g. mass, volume, etc.). In this article, the idea of combining the energy storage and attitude control systems is presented based on the flywheel techn...

The onset of whole muscle hypertrophy in response to overloading is poorly documented. The purpose of this study was to assess the early changes in muscle size and architecture during a 35-day high-intensity resistance training (RT) program. Seven young healthy volunteers performed bilateral leg extension three times per week on a gravity-independent flywheel ergometer. Cross-sectional area (CS...

The power and energy for ASDEX Upgrade, Germany’s largest experiment for nuclear fusion research, is provided by three separate networks based on flywheel generators. Damage at couplings of the shafts of the flywheel generators EZ3 (144 MVA / 500 MWs) and EZ4 (220 MVA / 600 MWs) were discovered during a routine check. They can only be explained by subsynchronous resonances (SSR) which are excit...

The present study examined site-specific hamstring muscles use with functional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in elite soccer players during strength training. Thirty-six players were randomized into four groups, each performing either Nordic hamstring, flywheel leg-curl, Russian belt or the hip-extension conic-pulley exercise. The transverse relaxation time (T2) shift from pre- to post-MRI w...

Diesel engines used in power plants and marine propulsion are especially sensitive to outage events. Any advance in the early detection of failure will increase the reliability of the electricity supply and improve its productivity by reducing costly power outages. Fault detection and diagnosis is important technology in condition-based maintenance for diesel engines. This article presents a cl...

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of inertial training with different external loads using a new original device - the Inertial Training and Measurement System (ITMS). Forty-six physical education male students were tested. The participants were randomly divided into three training groups and a control group (C group). The training groups performed inertial training with th...

The intermittent and unpredictable changes of power system load requires flexible generation of electricity that can rapidly adjust its output power to keep up with the fluctuations. However, many generators do not have this capability. Another option is to install utility scale energy storage. In order to evaluate the dynamics and benefits of a flywheel installation in a two-area system, a pow...

The need of a deeper understanding of coreless machines arises with new magnetic materials with higher remanent magnetization and the spread of high speed motors and generators. High energy density magnets allow complete ironless stator motor/generators configurations which are suitable for high speed machines and specifically in flywheel energy storage. Axial-flux and radial-flux machines are ...
