This paper presents developing an analytical model for flux switching motors. The motor is a class of variable reluctance motors that has two windings on stator; a field winding and an armature winding. Due to saliency of both stator and rotor poles, accurate modeling is difficult which arises from the nonlinear behavior of the machine. This paper presents a simple model which is able to predic...

The combination of a 16 inch Pitot tube pump with a switched reluctance motor represents a significant development in the field of high-pressure pumping. A field proven Pitot tube pump design has been mechanically integrated with a high performance switched reluctance motor. The resulting system is approximately 40 percent of the size of the standard unit it replaces. The closecoupled pump elim...

The reluctance of people to have their work evaluated is closely linked with their reluctance to comment on, or to complain about the behaviour of others. Most people 'live and let live'. This attitude, we admit, is not only understandable: it is invaluable. Social life depends on it. Who should throw the first stone? Who indeed can really distinguish between an honest mistake and culpable negl...
