Macro-scale investigation of high speed gas bearings for MEMS devices
… mode is exploited to implement a novel in-situ rotor balancing scheme which enables hydrodynamic operation. Analysis for both modes of operation is presented along with experimental results. A high-order, efficient scheme for computing both the steady and unsteady hydrodynamic properties of the …

A fully-integrated multi-watt permanent-magnet turbine generator
… using non-ideal material interfaces, magnetic rotor balancing, and novel fabrication techniques.A major challenge unique to the integrated device is the need for both silicon and non-silicon components on the same die. While the silicon components are precision micromachined using DRIE and can …

A carbon nanotube bearing and Stodola rotor
A nano-scale rotor supported on a cantilevered multi-wall carbon nanotube (MWNT) shaft (Stodola configuration) is proposed. The nanotube is also expected to function as the bearing, since individual walls of a MWNT are not strongly bonded and can slide on each other with low friction. While MWNT …

Static Balancing of the Cal Poly Wind Turbine Rotor
<p>The balancing of a wind turbine rotor is a crucial step affecting the machine’s performance, reliability, and safety, as it directly impacts the dynamic loads on the entire structure.</p> <p>A rotor can be balanced either statically or dynamically. A method of rotor balancing was developed that …

Single- and Dual-Plane Automatic Balancing of an Elastically-Mounted Cylindrical Rotor with Considerations of Coulomb Friction and Gravity
This work treats dual-plane automatic ball balancing of elastically-mounted cylindrical rotors. The application is primarily to systems with a vertically-oriented single-bearing support, but extension is also made to horizontally-oriented single-bearing support as typically found in a vehicle …
