The force magnification of ferrofluids used in the airgap between the two acting magnets in electrical machines has been investigated with the theoretical method of orthogonal expansion. This theoretical substantiation is necessary for a comprehensive judgement of the measurements on a ferrofluidsupported electric motor. The method itself and the results are presented.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
