17 results about "Earth's magnetic field" patented technology

Earth's magnetic field, also known as the geomagnetic field, is the magnetic field that extends from the Earth's interior out into space, where it interacts with the solar wind, a stream of charged particles emanating from the Sun. The magnetic field is generated by electric currents due to the motion of convection currents of molten iron in the Earth's outer core: these convection currents are caused by heat escaping from the core, a natural process called a geodynamo. The magnitude of the Earth's magnetic field at its surface ranges from 25 to 65 microteslas (0.25 to 0.65 gauss). As an approximation, it is represented by a field of a magnetic dipole currently tilted at an angle of about 11 degrees with respect to Earth's rotational axis, as if there were a bar magnet placed at that angle at the center of the Earth. The North geomagnetic pole, currently located near Greenland in the northern hemisphere, is actually the south pole of the Earth's magnetic field, and conversely.

Bolt fracture detection method and device for wind generating set

The invention relates to the technical field of bolt fracture detection, and provides a wind generating set bolt fracture detection method and device, and the method comprises the steps: obtaining a surrounding magnetic field signal of a to-be-detected bolt; correcting the detected magnetic field signal based on the geomagnetic field to obtain a corrected magnetic field value; on the basis of the current corrected magnetic field value, the magnetic dipole intensity change gradient of the current moment relative to the previous moment is calculated, and when the magnetic dipole intensity change gradient exceeds a set value, it is judged that an abnormal defect occurs; and when the abnormal defect exists, for the current corrected magnetic field value, based on the obtained frequency spectrum energy ratio, calculating fracture feature extraction and diagnosis, and obtaining an abnormal expansion stage of the current defect. By collecting and correcting a magnetic field signal, calculating a magnetic dipole intensity change gradient to identify abnormity, and then combining a frequency spectrum energy ratio to diagnose a fracture stage, early online monitoring of bolt fracture is realized. The method has high sensitivity and strong anti-interference capability, and is suitable for intelligent monitoring in a wind power environment.

Hall-effect thruster system with applied counter-torque

A Hall effect thruster system (12) includes a thruster body (52) and a diffuser (1) configured to apply a torque (Td) to the thruster body (52) during operation. The diffuser (1) applies the torque (Td) by ejecting the propellant in a non-axial direction, such as a direction tangent to helical or curvilinear channels (8) formed within a body (10) of the diffuser (1). The applied torque (Td) can be used to counteract a swirl torque (Tswirl) that is induced on the thruster body (52) by the ionizing Hall current flowing in an annular channel (16) of the thruster body (52). This effective counter-torque (Td) is useful in deep space applications outside the Earth's magnetic field.
