How an electric motor works?

  An electric motor is a device that converts electrical energy into mechanical energy. It works by using the principle of electromagnetism, which is the interaction between electric currents and magnetic fields. There are different types of electric motors, but the basic idea is the same: a coil of wire carrying an electric current rotates inside a magnetic field, creating a force that makes the coil spin. One of the simplest electric motors is a DC motor , which runs on direct current (DC) from a battery or a power supply. A DC motor has two main parts: a rotor and a stator. The rotor is the part that spins and has a coil of wire wrapped around an iron core. The stator is the part that stays still and has a permanent magnet or an electromagnet. The coil of wire on the rotor is connected to a split ring called a commutator, which rotates with the coil and switches the direction of the current every half turn. This ensures that the coil always experiences a force in the same direc...

A.B.U Graduate, Engineer Enwongulu Who Built Motorcycle In Akwanga Says It Cost Him Over #200k

 A.B.U Graduate, Engineer Enwongulu Who Built Motorcycle In Akwanga Says It Cost Him Over ₦200k


*** 


Engineer James Enwongulu, has hinged his decision to build a motorcycle on current prices of automobiles in the country. 




According to him, it cost him over ₦200,000 to built the bike nicknamed “Spiritual” by his Nephew. 




Speaking recently on Matters Arising, a current affairs programme of Akwanga-based Option FM, Enwongulu said most of the materials used in building the Motorcycle were sourced locally and took him two (2) months to finish. 




Sourcing for materials and funding, he revealed were the major challenges faced while building the Motorcycle which runs on Premium Motor Spirit (PMS) commonly known as fuel. 




He further said the motorcycle was his first product, adding that he's making efforts to make it more economical and energy-friendly. 




Mr Enwongulu is a graduate of Mechanical Engineering from Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria, Kaduna State. He works with the Isa Mustapha Agwai Polytechnic (IMAP),  Lafia as a Lecturer.

How does a transformer? || Transformer, how it works

       How it works?   In the wake of associating the transformer to an exchanging current source, a rotating attractive motion is framed in it's essential winding. It is sent through the attractive circuit to the optional winding, including a variable EMF (electromotive power) in them. On the off chance that there is a utilization gadget in the optional winding circuit, an electric flow happens. Choosing the necessary proportion between the quantity of turns of the essential and auxiliary windings, you can increment or decline the voltage on the optional winding. On the off chance that it is important to get a voltage on the optional twisting more noteworthy than that provided to the essential, then the quantity of turns of in the optional winding, should be more prominent than in the essential.  In summary  Choosing the necessary proportion between the quantity of turns of the essential and auxiliary windings, you can increment or decline the voltag...
