Realization of Bullard's disc dynamo
Raúl Alejandro Avalos-Zúñiga, Jānis Priede
We report experimental results from three successful runs of a Bullard-type homopolar disc dynamo. The set-up consisted of a copper disc with a radius of 30 cm and thickness of 3 c…
A homopolar disc dynamo experiment with liquid metal contacts
R. A. Avalos-Zúñiga, J. Priede, C. E. Bello-Morales
We present experimental results of a homopolar disc dynamo constructed at CICATA-Querétaro in Mexico. The device consists of a flat, multi-arm spiral coil which is placed above a f…
Feasible homopolar dynamo with sliding liquid-metal contacts
Jānis Priede, Raúl Avalos-Zúñiga
We present a feasible homopolar dynamo design consisting of a flat, multi-arm spiral coil, which is placed above a fast-spinning metal ring and connected to the latter by sliding l…
Homopolar oscillating-disc dynamo driven by parametric resonance
Jānis Priede, Raúl Avalos-Zúñiga, Franck Plunian
We use a simple model of Bullard-type disc dynamo, in which the disc rotation rate is subject to harmonic oscillations, to analyze the generation of magnetic field by the parametri…
