A configurable 3-phase machine for laboratory instruction

In order to learn about and work effectively with electromechanical systems, many students need exposure to these systems before completing their education. This thesis work introduces two novel teaching aids for laboratory classes. The first is a 3-phase axial-flux machine which can be configured as a permanent-magnet or induction machine with moderate effort for teaching about power electronics. The second is an introductory robot which demonstrates and controls electromagnetic actuators for teaching an introductory freshman class.
