The study is aimed at modeling a single sided induction motor (SLIM) which will accelerate an elevator of a specified weight to a target distance with high thrust and efficiency by reducing end-edge effects on the motors. The observable problems associated with the motors are mainly due to end-edge effects arising fr…
Linear Induction Motor (LIM) instead of producing rotary torque from a rotary machine produces linear force from flat one. To optimize the LIM, this paper looks at the construction features and fundamental equations of the LIM. Also presented are the inherent problems associated with LIMs, such as the Longitudinal En…
This paper attempts to provide the working knowledge of linear machines. It classifies the linear machines into different categories and highlights the differences between them. Magnetic levitation (MAGLEV), an interesting implementation of linear machines is also explained and classified. The machines peculiarities…
This paper studied and highlights the security and technical challenges facing the deployment and utilization of IEEE 802.15.4 based Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) devices used to facilitate remote oil and gas field monitoring in the Niger Delta region of Nigeria. The underlining crises were also highlighted and a sol…
