Synopsis
Excerpt from A Clock-Controlled Constant-Frequency Generator
These limitations would be avoided by the use of a rotating device which is forced to maintain a rotary motion of constant angular velocity. This device could be used to drive an alternator for the production of alternating current of constant frequency. The use of rotating machinery maintained in synchronism With standard time sig nals from a tuning fork or similar device has two chief advantages. Figrst, the relatively large amount of energy present as energy of rotation assures continuity of operation even though the control mechanism should momentarily fail to function. Second, it can be so arranged that the control mechanism, such as a tuning fork, is no longer forced to carry the entire operating current of the device.
Devices embodying some of these principles are on the market. None are available, however, Which have the big h load capacity which it was desired to obtain from the machine to be described here. A synchronous motor-generator set having an ultimate capacity of 4 kw was, therefore, designed to operate in synchronism with time signals from a clock-controlled tuning fork. The principle upon Which this machine operates is briefly as follows.

A Clock-Controlled Constant-Frequency Generator (Classic Reprint)
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book details the invention of a constant-frequency generator invented by the author. A constant-frequency generator produces an alternating current whose frequency is determined solely by the frequency of the grid excitation. To create the generator, the author used thyratrons in an inverter circuit to create a 60-cycle alternating current from a 20-cycle tuning-fork. The output of this device could then be used to control the frequency of a synchronous motor-generator, which in turn could be used to drive various timing devices. The book discusses the design of the constant-frequency generator, its operation, and its potential applications. It also includes a detailed discussion of the theory of operation of the synchroscope used in the system. The book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of electrical engineering or in the design of precision timing devices. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781527824003_0
