A brushless dc spin motor for momentum exchange altitude control

Brushless dc spin motor is designed to use Hall effect probes as means of revolving rotor position and controlling motor winding currents. This results in 3 to 1 reduction in watt-hours required for wheel acceleration, a 2 to 1 reduction in power to run wheel, and a 10 to 1 reduction in the electronics size and weight.

A magnetic mouse activity meter

Activity meter has been developed using Hall effect devices that record passage of selected groups of magnetically tagged mice. Two small permanent magnets are implanted in belly and back of selected mice and electronic circuits are activated as mice move between cages. System has advantage over tagging, detecting, and identification methods currently used.

Minority carriers in graphite.

Quantum oscillations as a function of magnetic field in the Hall effect and thermoelectric power are studied in two samples of pressure-annealed pyrolytic graphite. Only the oscillations originating from minority-Fermi-surface carriers are discussed. Frequencies of the de Haas-van Alphen type are measured over a wide range of angles between the magnetic field and the c axis of the Brillouin zone. Results are given graphically and analyzed.

Dispersive waves in a seeded MHD generator.

The equations giving the response of a slightly ionized plasma with monatomic components to sinusoidal perturbations have been formulated. Included in the model equations were the electron Hall effect, electron thermal diffusion, radiation, and electron-atom rate processes. Plasma conditions were limited to those where viscous effects, the induced magnetic field, ion slip, and atom-atom inelastic processes can be neglected. Presented are results of numerical calculations for MHD generators with a working fluid of potassium seeded argon.

Solid state switch panel

An intensive study of various forms of transducers was conducted with application towards hermetically sealing the transducer and all electronics. The results of the study indicated that the Hall effect devices and a LED/phototransistor combination were the most practical for this type of application. Therefore, hardware was developed utilizing a magnet/Hall effect transducer for single action switches and LED/phototransistor transducers for rotary multiposition or potentiometer applications. All electronics could be housed in a hermetically sealed compartment. A number of switches were built and models were hermetically sealed to prove the feasibility of this type of fabrication. One of each type of switch was subjected to temperature cycling, vibration, and EMI tests. The results of these tests are presented.
