The majority of nuclear power plants in the United States are approaching 40 years of age and some of the components installed during initial construction are beginning to show signs of wear. This is ...

A new advance in vibration monitoring, developed with EPRI, facilitates the measurement of torsional vibration and is expected to be of significant value to power plants relying on a wide range of ...

A generator that is ten times more powerful than any other similar devices has just been developed. It is a kinetic energy generator which generates electrical energy from the vibrations and movements ...

Meeting the generator requirements of a railroad signaling application, the DIH18-21-BBNA brushless generator can withstand the consistently high shock and vibration levels typical of a railcar ...

Toshiyuki Ueno, a Japanese University researcher, has developed a tiny vibration generator with an energy density twenty times higher than normal small vibration-driven generators. The energy density ...

Steam turbine rotors bend during operation, but the bearing and supports are designed to keep the static and dynamic forces under control. However, bending can cause impact between stationary and ...
