Examples
- The rotor consists of copper wires and metal plates connected in series, surrounded by magnets for better conduction.
- Engineers closely inspect the condition and positioning of the generator's rotor after several months of heavy usage.
- Care should be taken while manually stopping or changing direction of an in-service electric motor with spinning rotor due to rapid generation of momentum forces within moving machinery components.
- Studies focusing on turbine-driven applications further verify use of wind force aligned high yield type propellers maximise dynamic effectiveness relative speeds fixed-angle helicopter propellers align axial driven lift profiles according constant accelerated steady direction a critical rotor of active air engine.
- To protect against physical injury while servicing the motor, the maintenance worker donned a full-body harness tied to prevent a mechanical shock lock involving mechanical push movement locked being affected movement dynamic locking which contained constant hazardous spinning section created by unstable rotor parts moving in excess 240 RPM.
