Carbon Fibre Containment for Magnetic Rotors
Magnetic rotors are used in a wide range of applications including motors, generators, alternators and Eddy Current Separators. These rotors spin at very high speeds and a key design consideration is ensuring that the motors do not become detached from the magnet carrier. One of the key design considerations is the resultant centrifugal force. Centrifugal…

SpaceX held the first Hyperloop Pod Competition in 2015. Through a competitive environment, SpaceX aimed to promote and support the development of functional Hyperloop prototypes and encourage innovation. Student teams from around the world were tasked with designing and building the best high-speed pod. In July 2019, SpaceX staged the fourth competition – Hyperloop Pod…
Read MoreMagnets In Space
2019 marks the 50th anniversary of when mankind first stepped onto the surface of the moon. However, not many people know that this momentous achievement would not have been possible without magnets. In this article, we review the important role of magnets in space. The guidance and navigation system computers for the Apollo 11 spacecraft…
