Elektrotechniker sollten englischsprachige Dokumentationen und Pläne lesen können. Dieser Beitrag erleichtert den Zugang zur englischen Sprache und vermittelt elektrotechnische Fachausdrücke.
Eine Kombination aus Solarenergie und Magnetismus – das kennzeichnet den levitating light motor.
Levitating light motor
The idea of a “solar motor” was born in 1962; later in 1992 a horizontal design was developed by Larry Spring, a physicist and professor in Mendocino north of San Francisco, hence the name – Mendocino Motor. The principle has now been perfected in Germany: the levitating light motor. A combination of solar energy and magnetism makes the Mendocino motor spin freely in mid-air. A tea light is enough to drive it and bright sunlight causes the motor to rotate faster and faster, with amazing precision and smoothness.
