In this paper, a comprehensive parametric analysis for an axial-flux permanent magnet synchronous generator (AFPMSG), designed to operate in a small-scale wind-power applications, is presented, and the condition for maximum efficiency, minimum weight and minimum cost is deduced. Then a Computer-Aided Design (CAD) procedure based on the results of parametric study is proposed. Matching between t...

Ferromagnetic nanoparticles are building blocks of future high density recording media and high performance permanent magnets. However, it is very challenging to produce nanoparticles with ferromagnetism at room temperature. The author describes recent progress in preparing ferromagnetic nanoparticles. Ferromagnetic nanoparticles can be used as building blocks for advanced bulk and thin fi lm m...

A paramagnetic ferrocenium-based ionic liquid that exhibits a magnetic memory effect coupled with a liquid-solid phase transformation has been developed. Based on field alignment of the magnetically anisotropic ferrocenium cation, the magnetic susceptibility in the solid state can be tuned by the weak magnetic fields (<1 T) of permanent magnets.

This article presents a new vibration diagnostic method designed to (PM) machines with permanent magnets. Those devices are commonly used in small wind and water systems or vehicles drives. The author’s method is very innovative and unique. Specific structural properties of PM machines are used in this method electromotive force (EMF) generated due to vibrations. There was analysed number of pu...
