Kzoo Posted November 30, 2018 Share #3 Posted November 30, 2018 "Eddy currents are loops of electrical current induced within conductors by a changing magnetic field in the conductor due to Faraday's law of induction. Eddy currents flow in closed loops within conductors, in planes perpendicular to the magnetic field." Where is TK when you need him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Longjohn ★ Posted November 30, 2018 Share #5 Posted November 30, 2018 When I started driving truck they always put Maypop tires on my truck. At least that is what the tire guy called them. They were takeoffs from other trucks. 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JerrySTL ★ Posted November 30, 2018 Share #6 Posted November 30, 2018 Eddy currents checks are used in non-destructive inspections. It can find unseen cracks in metals like aircraft wings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jsharr ★ Posted November 30, 2018 Share #9 Posted November 30, 2018 After looking at this diagram I can see why @Kzoo knew so much about eddy currents. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It sounds too much like “Thud’s law”. If you push something hard enough it will fall over. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Further Posted November 30, 2018 Share #22 Posted November 30, 2018 Cranes use eddy current brakes. kind of like a motor in reverse, the more power you put to it the less it will move. Very efficient, a 20 amp 100 volt circuit can stall a 40 HP motor. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ralphie ★ Posted November 30, 2018 Share #23 Posted November 30, 2018 The Sex life of an Electron by Eddie Currents One night when his charge was pretty high, Micro-Farad decided to seek out a cute little coil to help him discharge. He picked up Milli-Amp and took her for a ride in his Megacycle. They rode across the Wheatstone Bridge and stopped by a Magnetic field with flowing currents and frolicked in the sine waves. Micro-Farad, attracted by Millie-Amp's characterisic curves soon had her fully charged and proceeded to excite her resistance to a minimum. He gently laid her at ground potential, raised her frequency and lowered her reluctance. With a quick arc, he pulled out his high voltage probe and inserted it in her socket, connecting them in parallel. He slowly began short circuiting her resistance shunt while quickly raising her thermal conductance level to mill-spec. Fully excited, Milli- Amp mumbled "OHM...OHM...OHM" With his tube operating well into class C, and her field vibrating with his current flow, a corona formed which instantly caused her shunt to overheat just at the point when Micro-Farad rapidly discharged and drained off every electron into her grid. They fluxed all night trying various connectors and sockets untill his magnet had a soft core and lost all of its field strength. Afterwards, Milli-Amp tried self-induction and damaged her solenoids and with his battery fully discharged, Micro-Farad was unable to excite his field. Not ready to be quiescent, they spent the rest of the evening reversing polarity and blowing each others fuses. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
