Design of Windmill Power Generation Using Multi-Generator and Single Rotor (Horizontal Blade)
Wind energy is the environmental free and one of the best renewable energy for generation of electric power. The main aim of the paper is “to produce current using multi generator and single rotor”. This paper proposes multi-generator to address potential challenges: dimension, cost and reliability. The two permanent magnet D.C. generators are desired to share the single shaft through straight bevel gears. These poles of the two generators will be changed as alternate to parallel. This paper discussed about the design procedure of gears, gear life and wind turbine rotors. The output current is stored in series of battery to appliances through converter and step up transformer. The performances and practicalities of the proposed architecture are verified in simulation using prototype wind turbine. Keywords: permanent magnet D.C. generator, wind turbine, straight bevel gear, poles of generator
A Path to the Direct Detection of sub-GeV Dark Matter Using Calorimetric Readout of a Superfluid He Target
A promising technology concept for sub-GeV dark matter detection is
described, in which low-temperature microcalorimeters serve as the sensors and
superfluid He serves as the target material. A superfluid helium target has
several advantageous properties, including a light nuclear mass for better
kinematic matching with light dark matter particles, copious production of
scintillation light, extremely good intrinsic radiopurity, a high impedance to
external vibration noise, and a unique mechanism for observing phonon-like
modes via liberation of He atoms into a vacuum (`quantum evaporation'). In
this concept, both scintillation photons and triplet excimers are detected
using calorimeters, including calorimeters immersed in the superfluid. Kinetic
excitations of the superfluid medium (rotons and phonons) are detected using
quantum evaporation and subsequent atomic adsorption onto a microcalorimeter
suspended in vacuum above the target helium. The energy of adsorption amplifies
the phonon/roton signal before calorimetric sensing, producing a gain mechanism
that can reduce the techonology's recoil energy threshold below the calorimeter
energy threshold. We describe signal production and signal sensing
probabilities, and estimate electron recoil discrimination. We then simulate
radioactive backgrounds from gamma rays and neutrons. Dark matter - nucleon
elastic scattering cross-section sensitivities are projected, demonstrating
that even very small (sub-kg) target masses can probe wide regions of as-yet
untested dark matter parameter space
Windmill Power Generation Using Mult-Generator and Single Rotor (Horizontal and Vertical Blade)
Wind energy is the environmental pollution free, hazardless and one of the best renewable energy for generation of electric power. The main aim of the paper is “to produce current using multi generator and single rotor”. This paper proposes multi-generator to address potential challenges: dimension, cost and reliability. The two electromagnetic induction generators are desired to share the single shaft through straight bevel gears. These poles of the two generators will be changed as alternate to parallel. This paper discussed about the design procedure of gears, gear life and wind turbine rotors. The output current is stored in series of battery to appliances through converter and step up transformer. The Construction, working, parts of windmill, materials are discussed detailed in this paper. Keywords: Electromagnetic Induction Generator, Wind Turbine, Straight Bevel Gear, Poles of Generator
Transforming U.S. Particle Physics Education: A Snowmass 2021 Study
The pursuit of knowledge in particle physics requires constant learning. As
new tools become available, new theories are developed, and physicists search
for new answers with ever-evolving methods. However, it is the case that formal
educational systems serve as the primary training grounds for particle
physicists. Graduate school (and undergraduate school to a lesser extent) is
where researchers learn most of the technical skills required for research,
develop scientific problem-solving abilities, learn how to establish themselves
in their field, and begin developing their career. It is unfortunate, then,
that the skills gained by physicists during their formal education are often
mismatched with the skills actually required for a successful career in
physics. We performed a survey of the U.S. particle physics community to
determine the missing elements of graduate and undergraduate education and to
gauge how to bridge these gaps. In this contributed paper, part of the 2021-22
Snowmass Community Planning Exercise, we report the results of this survey. We
also recommend several specific community actions to improve the quality of
particle physics education; the "community" here refers to physics departments,
national labs, professional societies, funding agencies, and individual
physicists.Comment: contribution to Snowmass 202
Nuclear Recoil Scintillation Linearity of a High Pressure He Gas Detector
We investigate scintillation linearity of a commercial high pressure He
gas detector using monoenergetic 2.8 MeV neutrons from a deuterium-deuterium
fusion neutron generator. The scintillation response of the detector was
measured for a range of recoil energies between 83 keV and 626 keV by tagging
neutrons scattering into fixed angles with a far-side organic scintillator
detector. Detailed Monte Carlo simulations were compared to experimental data
to determine the linearity of the detector response by comparing the scaling of
the energy deposits in the simulations to the detector output. In this
analysis, a linear scintillation response corresponds to a consistent value for
the scaling factor between simulated energy deposits and experimental data for
several different scattering angles. We demonstrate that the detector can be
used to detect fast neutron interactions down to 83 keV recoil energies and can
be used to characterize low-energy neutron sources, one of its potential
applications
