High-Performance Sodium Bose-Einstein Condensate Apparatus with a Hybrid Trap and Long-Distance Magnetic Transfer

We report on the production of large sodium Bose^Einstein condensates in a hybrid of magnetic quadrupole and optical dipole trap. With an optimized spin-flip Zeeman slower, 2 ~ 1010 sodium atoms are captured in the magneto-optical trap （MOT）. A long distance magnetic transfer setup moves the cold atom over 46cm from the MOT chamber to the UHV science chamber, which provides great optical access and long conservative trap lifetime. After evaporative cooling in the hybrid trap, we produce nearly pure condensates of 1 ~ 107 atoms with lifetime of 80 s in the optical dipole trap.

Analysis of Electromagnetic Performance of Modulated Coaxial Magnetic Gears Used in Semi-Direct Drive Wind Turbines

Wind turbine is a key device to realize the utilization of wind energy,and it has been highly valued by all countries.But the mechanical gear transmission of the existing wind power device has the disadvantages of high vibration and noise,high failure rate,and short service time.Magneticfield modulation electromagnetic gear transmission is a new non-contact transmission method.However,the conventional modulation magnetic gear has low torque density and torque defects with largefluctuations.In order to overcome the gear transmis-sion problems of the existing semi-direct drive wind power generation machinery and improve the electromag-netic performance of the traditional magnetic gear transmission,this paper proposes a new transmission scheme of a non-contact semi-direct drive wind generator with a surface mount Halbach array modulated mag-netic gear method,and considers the electromagnetic properties of the semi-direct drive modulation magnetic gear of the wind turbine.Thefinite element software is used to construct the model of the surface-mounted Halbach array magnetic gear and the conventional gear,analyzed the distribution of magneticfield lines of the two magnetic gears,calculated the air gap magneticflux density of the inner and outer air gap,and obtained the main harmonics of the inner and outer air gap magnetic density;calculated the static torque and steady-state operating torque of the inner and outer rotors in the model,compared the air gapflux density,harmonics and torque of the magnetic gears.The simulation results show that the magneticfield modulation type mag-netic gear of the surface mount Halbach array magnetic gear method improves the magnetic induction wave-form of the inner and outer air gap,reduces the pulse torquefluctuation,and has a 60%higher static torque.Applying it to semi-direct drive wind power generation equipment not only overcomes the shortcomings of mechanical gears,but also has higher electromagnetic performance.Therefore,the surface-mounted Halbach array modulated magnetic gear can be used to replace the mechanical gearbox in the semi-direct drive wind power generation equipment.

Cycloidal Magnetic Gear Speed Reducer

A cycloidal speed reducer employing gears with permanent magnets acting as teeth is described. The magnets, which have their axes radially oriented in both the orbiting gear and the fixed internal gear, are inserted in holes drilled in nonmagnetic rims without protruding from the cylindrical exposed surfaces. Because the orbiting gear is not restrained radially, it contacts the fixed gear and rolls on its inner surface. A normal force is developed at the contact point between the gears to balance the magnetic attraction and the centrifugal force of the orbiting gear. The friction available due to this normal force increases the transmission’s torque capacity, which is further increased by elimination of the gap between the gears. Also, the radial load on the supporting orbiting gear bearing is eliminated. A prototype with a reduction ratio of 26 is being tested.

Magnetic Gearbox with an Electric Power Output Port and Fixed Speed Ratio for Wind Energy Applications

Mechanical gearboxes are typically employed with doubly-fed induction generatur-based wind turbines. The main drawback of this solution is the gearbox＇s reliability and maintenance. Using magnetic gearbox in conjunction with the doubly-fed induction generator is an emerging alternative being promoted by the research community which maintains the reduced size doubly-fed machine and overcomes the mechanical gearbox problems reported by field experience. This paper proposes a novel magnetic gearbox configuration in which a conventional planetary magnetic gearbox is equipped with n-phase coils fitted around the ferromagnetic pole-pieces to extract output electrical power. The turbine mechanical power is thus divided into mechanical power to drive the electrical generator and extra electrical power that can be diverted into a storage system to perform the power leveling function. The proposed configuration can also be used to freely modify the power-speed characteristic as seen by the electrical generator, a highly needed feature for grid frequency support.

The present paper discusses magnet arrangements and the shape of stationary gear teeth to improve transmission torque in surface magnet type magnetic gear transmission mechanisms.

Magnetic coupling engineered porous dielectric carbon within ultralow filler loading toward tunable and high-performance microwave absorption

Developing microwave absorption(MA)materials with satisfied comprehensive performance is a great challenge for tackling severe electromagnetic pollution.In particular,the magnetic component/carbon hybrids absorbers always suffer from high filler loading.Herein,we propose a feasible strategy to construct hierarchical porous carbon with tightly embedded Ni nanoparticles(Ni@NPC).These highly dispersed Ni nanoparticles produce strong magnetic coupling networks to enhance magnetic loss abilities.Moreover,the interconnected hierarchical dielectric carbon network affords favorable dipolar/interfacial polarization,conduction loss,multiple reflection and scattering.Impressively,with an ultralow filler loading of 5 wt.%,the resultant Ni@NPC/paraffin composite achieves an excellent MA performance with a minimum reflection loss of as high as-72.4 dB and a broad absorption bandwidth of 5.0 GHz.This capability outperforms most current magnetic-dielectric hybrids counterparts.Furthermore,the MA capacity can be easily tuned with adjustments in thickness,content and type of magnetic material.Thus,this work opens up new avenues for the development of high-performance and lightweight MA materials.
