Investigation of a Novel Mechanical to Thermal Energy Converter Based on the Inverse Problem of Electric Machines

A novel converter that can directly transform electrical, wind, hydraulic and other types of mechanical energy into thermal energy is presented in this study. First, the thermal energy of the converter is classified and then calculated by a finite element method. The eddy current distribution in the...
