U.S. Patent 334,823 - Commutator for Dynamo-Electric Machines

Average: 4.2 (21 votes)
Category: 
Motors & Generators
Country: 
United States
Application date: 
May 6th, 1885
Issue date: 
January 26th, 1886
It is known that in machines of great electro-motive force - such, for instance, as those used for arc lights - whenever one commutator bar or plate comes out of contact with the collecting-brush a spark appears on the commutator. This spark may be due to the break of the complete circuit, or of a shunt of low...continue reading »

Application date: 
May 18th, 1885
Issue date: 
March 2nd, 1886
The object of my invention is to provide an improved method for regulating the current on dynamo-electric machines. In my improvement I make use of two main brushes, to which the ends of the helices of the field-magnets are connected, and an auxiliary-brush and a branch or shunt-connection to form an intermediate...continue reading »

U.S. Patent 336,962 - Regulator for Dynamo-Electric Machines

Average: 4.3 (9 votes)
Category: 
Motors & Generators
Country: 
United States
Application date: 
June 1st, 1885
Issue date: 
March 2nd, 1886
In my improvement I employ one or more auxiliary brushes, by means of which I shunt a portion or the whole of the field-helices. According to the relative position upon the commutator of the respective brushes more or less current is caused to pass through the helices of the field, and the current developed by the...continue reading »

Application date: 
March 30th, 1886
Issue date: 
January 15th, 1889
In my present invention I obtain mechanical power by a reciprocating action resulting from the joint operations of heat, magnetism, and a spring or weight or other force - that is to say, I subject a body magnetized by induction or otherwise to the action of heat until the magnetism is sufficiently neutralized to...continue reading »
