In this form of losses, attendant to speed variation through stator phasing are reduced. Electrical compensation may be inserted between each terminal pair. Potentiometers in parallel with capacitors and may be inserted between the respective terminals to expand the operating range of the device.

Abstract: A line synchronous generator with an exciter and generator stage. The exciter stage includes an exciter stator and an exciter rotor, and the generator stage includes a generator stator and generator rotor. In one embodiment, the stators are wound with primary windings for connection to an AC power source and the rotors are wound with secondary windings. In an alternative embodiment, the rotors are wound with primary windings for connection to the AC power source and the stators are wound with secondary windings. The proper phase angle alignment of the secondary windings are determined by connecting the primary windings of the exciter and generator stages to the AC power source, and connecting the a secondary winding of the exciter stage to a secondary winding of the generator stage. The remaining open secondary leads are then tested for two pairs having a voltage equal to two times the line voltage, and two pairs having a voltage equal to .sqroot.3 times the line voltage.

Abstract: In a compound electromechanical assembly having a first singly fed stage mounted for common rotation with a second singly fed stage mounted for common rotation with a second singly fed stage impedance is inserted in inverted connection to form an electrical loop between the secondaries. The impedance includes a resistor and capacitor connected in parallel.

Abstract: A wheel cover which automatically maintains a balancing force applied to the wheel as the wheel rolls along a surface includes a rim for mounting the wheel cover to the wheel and a number of radially inwardly extending spokes. A plurality of weights, each secured to the inner ends of an associated group of spokes, forms a circle of separately movable weights centered about the axis of the wheel. A pair of axially spaced caps capture the weights in a manner permitting the weights and their related groups of spokes to pivot toward and away from the wheel causing the weights to move between radially advanced and retracted positions with respect to the axis of rotation so as to balance the wheel. A second embodiment employs a pair of "dished" annular bodies sandwiching a number of segments therebetween and mounted to move portions thereof with respect to the axis of rotation.

Abstract: A wheel cover and wheel cover attaching device retaining the wheel cover on a wheel having evenly distributed openings. The attaching devices include a plurality of brackets carried by and uniformly distributed about a flange formed at the edge margin of the cover and a plurality of both the threaded elements formed with a hook shaped portion at one end and a threaded portion formed at the other end. The threaded portion is fit through a hole in each bracket and the hook shaped portion is oriented to pass through the wheel openings and be held against the back side of the wheel when the threaded portion is tightened down at the bracket by a nut. The tightening of the nut serves to tension the element to apply forces against the bracket for drawing the wheel cover toward and tightly against the wheel.

Abstract: An AC synchronized generator includes an exciter stage and a generating stage, the exciter stage comprising an exciter stator connected for excitation to any conventional AC source and an exciter rotor driven in rotation therein by any convenient source of rotary power. The exciter rotor is mounted for common rotation with a generator rotor, the windings of the exciter rotor being connected in subtraction, or in an inverted connection with those of the generator rotor. A generator stator is then used to produce the current to a load. In this form the rotating magnetic field of the exciter stator will be added to the angular rate of the exciter rotor, which is therefor induced at an AC rate corresponding to the sum of these two angular rates. The generator rotor, being electrically connected in opposite direction but driven along with the exciter rotor, will carry a magnetic field which travels as the difference between the magnetic field in the exciter rotor and the rotor angular rate.
