Book Description
Axial Flux Permanent Magnet (AFPM) brushless machines are modern electrical machines with a lot of advantageous merits over their conventional counterparts. They are increasingly used in power generation, domestic appliances, industrial drives, electric vehicles, and marine propulsion drives and many other applications.
This book deals with the analysis, construction, design, optimisation, control and applications of AFPM machines. The authors present their own research results, as well as significant research contributions made by others.
This monograph will be of interest to electrical engineers and other engineers involved in the design and application of AFPM brushless machine drives. It will be an important resource for researchers and graduate students in the field of electrical machine and drives.
Book Description
Will a magnet pick up a paper clip or a feather? The answer is, just the paper clip. Magnets only pick up things that contain bits of iron. In this new addition to the Let's-Read-and-Find-Out Science series, veteran author Franklyn Branley explains the properties and behavior of magnets. True Kelley's charming illustrations will entertain readers as they discover for themselves what makes a magnet. Hands-on activities include making a magnet and compass.

Read it as a story or do the experiments.......2005-04-07
The good thing about this book is that it is interesting enough to read it (at bedtime, for example) without pausing to do the experiments or you can use it in conjunction with some great little experiments to learn more about magnets.
It is not extremely detailed, but my five-year-old son found it quite engaging and he was absolutely fascinated when the experiments worked "just the way the book said!" With the book's simple structure, I know it won't be too long before he is able to read it to himself, also. (It is around the second grade level, I would say.)
Nicely done for younger students.
Book Description

The Bible for permanent magnet motors.......2007-01-23
Like the Bible in church, anyone working with permanent magnet motors needs this book close at hand. Carefully written, it covers every important topic about these motors. And as the authors note in the beginning pages of the book, more and more attention is being paid to energy production and use. With energy-related issues always in the news - from the wars in the Persian Gulf region to climate change - having powerful and efficient motors and generators will be important to more than just engineers.
Expensive book, no question. But worth it.

Magnetic Materials: Fundamentals and Device Applications
ASIN: 0122699513 |
Book Description
The book provides both the theoretical and the applied background needed to predict magnetic fields. The theoretical presentation is reinforced with over 60 solved examples of practical engineering applications such as the design of magnetic components like solenoids, which are electromagnetic coils that are moved by electric currents and activate other devices such as circuit breakers. Other design applications would be for permanent magnet structures such as bearings and couplings, which are hardware mechanisms used to fashion a temporary connection between two wires.
This book is written for use as a text or reference by researchers, engineers, professors, and students engaged in the research, development, study, and manufacture of permanent magnets and electromechanical devices. It can serve as a primary or supplemental text for upper level courses in electrical engineering on electromagnetic theory, electronic and magnetic materials, and electromagnetic engineering.
Customer Reviews:
excellent reference book for those designing magnetic motors.......2004-02-10
Last year I was seeking a reference book on permanent magnetic motors. I found this book to be an excellent choice. The subject material includes magnetic materials and properties, leading into the various classes of permanent magnet materials, a good review of Maxwell's equations, which is used to lead into several useful analytical models, before closing with a review of permanent magnet devices and electromechanical devices. If the book had included problem sets at the end of each chapter, it would have ended up as an excellent graduate level textbook on the subject. As it is, the book will serve experienced technical folks well, either as a refresher on material already known, or as a method of teaching new material in all its gory detail.

Here's one you may not have thought about in a while: Magnets, how do they work and what do they do? Well, James D. Livingston, a former specialist in magnetic research for General Electric, has answers for you in this look at the technological marvels performed by the power of magnets. "Very few of the teenagers listening to the latest rock or rap through their earphones today," he writes, "realize the debt they owe to improved permanent magnets." No doubt. But as Livingston points out, magnets are at the core of videocassette recorders, telephones, radios, cassette recorders, washers, dryers, vacuum cleaners, clocks, printers and television. And you thought they were just something you stuck on the refrigerator door.
Book Description
Driving Force unfolds the long and colorful history of magnets: how they guided (or misguided) Columbus; mesmerized eighteenth-century Paris but failed to fool Benjamin Franklin; lifted AC power over its rival, DC, despite all the animals, one human among them, executed along the way; led Einstein to the theory of relativity; helped defeat Hitler's U-boats; inspired writers from Plato to Dave Barry. In a way that will delight and instruct even the nonmathematical among us, James Livingston shows us how scientists today are creating magnets and superconductors that can levitate high-speed trains, produce images of our internal organs, steer high-energy particles in giant accelerators, and--last but not least--heat our morning coffee.
From the "new" science of materials to everyday technology, Driving Force makes the workings of magnets a matter of practical wonder. The book will inform and entertain technical and nontechnical readers alike and will give them a clearer sense of the force behind so much of the working world.
Customer Reviews:
Entertaining and excellent.......2007-07-22
I very much enjoyed this book. The writing style made it a pleasure to read. I downgraded it one star because it doesn't much cover the newer neodymium magnets nor how magnet manufacture has shifted to Japan and primarily China.
A great book on a subject which is universally appealing.......2006-11-25
Did you know that Einstein got his start in science from a fascination with the compass? Did you know that Columbus' magnetic compass was his most prized possession on his transatlantic voyages? Did you know that some bacteria contain lined up magnetite chunks in a form of primitive backbone that also provide crude directional guidance? Did you know that the geographic north pole of the earth is actually a magnetic south pole? Did you know that the most celebrated innovation presented at the Paris Exposition of 1900 was a crude magnetic recording device utilizing a steel wire as the recording medium? Did you know that the black ink used in printing US currency is faintly attracted to strong magnets? Did you know that magnetic rocks hold the key to charting continetal drift? Did you know that water possesses a property that causes it to repel a strong magnetic field with enough force to levitate a live frog?
James Livingston's book is loaded with fascinating bits of information about a technology that pervades virtually all of modern technology. In fact, modern life as we know it would come to a screeching halt if not for the weird properties of magnets.
Written in a lively, non-technical style, Driving Force covers the history, tremendous range of technical uses, and the fun, entertaining side of magnets. This highly readable book will not enable you to design motors, MRIs, or maglev trains, but it might just make you better on trivia tests, lead to a great science fair project, or help you educate or entertain the children in your life. For anyone with an interest in technology or the history of science, this book is highly recommended.
The title has triple meaning.......2000-08-31
The author starts this book by the story of Albert Einstein at the age of four or five, when his father showed him a compass needle. The behavior of the needle gave a deep and lasting impression on young Einstein. Then the author describes ten facts about the magnetic force in earlier chapters. Using these facts, he gives detailed explanations on the workings of various magnetic devices and the modern technologies of magnets in plain words. The topics covered includes superconducting magnets, magnets in motors, speakers, TVs, toys, fiction, magic and weapons, magnetic recording, magnets in medicine, biomagnetism, and so on, namely everything about magnets. The book is also interspersed with humorous comments. In the last chapter the author goes back again to young Einstein's wondering at a compass needle. The reader notices here that the title of the book has the triple meaning. This is one of the most educational and well written books I have ever read in the genre of science for laypersons.
Great Book; Educational, Interesting and Fun.......2000-02-17
This is the best book I have ever read on the subject of magnets and magnetism. It is very up to date and includes current technology of magnets and many applications that most people take for granted. Also, the manner in which this book is written makes it suitable for a wide range of age groups. For the most part it is not real technical or mathematical and can be enjoyed by all. If you have an ounce of curiosity about magnets, magnetism or science you will love this book. I am on my third reading and it won't be my last.
One of the most interesting chapters in this book explained the connection between magnets and Einstein's theory of relativity. This is explained very simply and easy to understand and even has a one page cartoon to illustrate this.
Also explains dozens of applications of magnets in our lives, our homes, our cars, our hospitals, our defense systems etc. I thought I was pretty aware of most applications of magnets and magetism but this book was a real and amazing eye opener.
Read it and enjoy it!
I wish I had written it.......1999-10-25
Please see my review of this book, "Fields of Influence," in Nature, Vol. 380, 25 April 1996, p. 679. I wish it had been around when I was in high school...or even years later as a graduate student in physics.
Book Description
Thomas Edison, one of the world's greatest inventors, is introduced in this fascinating activity book. Children will learn how Edison ushered in an astounding age of invention with his unique way of looking at things and refusal to be satisfied with only one solution to a problem. This book helps inspire kids to be inventors and scientists, as well as persevere with their own ideas. Activities allow children to try Edison's experiments themselves, with activities such as making a puppet dance using static electricity, manufacturing a switch for electric current, constructing a telegraph machine, manipulating sound waves, building an electrical circuit to test for conductors and insulators, making a zoetrope, and testing a dandelion for latex. In addition to his inventions and experiments, the book explores Edison's life outside of science, including his relationship with inventor Nikola Tesla, his rivalry with George Westinghouse, and his friendship with Henry Ford. A time line, glossary, and lists of supply sources, places to visit, and websites for further exploration complement this activity book.
Customer Reviews:
A wonderful resource for science-minded kids (and their parents!).......2006-04-06
Laurie Carlson has done it again! Well known for her history, science and activity books for kids, Carlson has now applied her significant energies to creating a resource for parents, teachers and children to learn more about Thomas Edison's life, times and inventions in an engaging, hands-on manner.
Like her entire catalog of kids' educational activity books, Thomas Edison for Kids provides ample context for the experiments and projects so that children may gain a full understanding of what it is that they're doing and why. Along the way, discussions of Edison's methods, perserverance, constant pursuit of knowledge model an enthusiasm for general scientific discovery not often seen by the young (or any of us, really). Additional historical context is provided by abundant archival photos and examinations of Edison's relationships with his peers, friends and rivals of the time - Tesla and Ford among them.
The activities cover a range of interests and abilities, from constructing an eletrical circuit to testing botanicals. Adults will want to read the directions thoroughly before sitting down with impatient little ones - diagrams for experiments are rather basic for those of us somewhat removed from our science class years. That said, they are usually easy to set-up and generally don't require too much in the way of specialized equipment.
One of the best features of the book is a comprehensive resource list of ideas for field trips and outings, websites, and sources for supplies needed for activities. Along with the time line and glossary they will help parents and teachers satisfy the curiosity about Edison that this book raises in their little scientists.

Book Description
Permanent Magnet Design and Application Handbook, 2nd edition, is still the only comprehensive book covering the design and applications of permanent magnets. Since the last edition, major changes have occurred in materials and suppliers. This edition lists properties of over 400 new materials. Written for the practicing engineer, not the physicist, its purpose is to pull together the diverse magnet information needed to design products rather than to present theory. Numerous tables, photos, and diagrams are used throughout. Also included are an international index of permanent magnet materials, a bibliography, and a glossary. Appendixes give demagnetization curves, magnetic properties, physical properties, and conversion factors.

A solid foundation for understanding permanent magnets.......2000-04-07
The 1995 reprint of Permanent Magnet Design and Application Handbook, contains most of the previous text but now includes a 500+ page reference on many of the permanent magnet materials available thru the early 1990's. This book has been a standard to most permanent magnet designers. While the content is aged, it still covers the basics to understanding how to practically design magnets. The book focuses on design with Alnico and Ceramic magnets. These were the standards of the 1950's,1960's and 1970's. It just touches on the more modern materials such as SmCo. At the time the book was written, these materials were just under development and thus design rules were still being written.
This is still one of the best illustrated books in magnetism. Most are hand drawn pictures with some photographs intermingled. All of the concepts shown are applicable to current design.
The new reference pages provide a text based database of many current magnet materials. Some names have changed, but the content is still current. The cross-references alone are valuable to designers and purchasing personnel. Those updating designs with newer materials will find this book invaluable.
While the lack of graphical information does reduce the value, I still recommend this as a reference book for all designers interested in magnets. A designer that can absorb the information in this book is well on the way to being a Magnetics expert. Expert or not, the book is well written and well worth the time to read and learn from an expert in the field.
Book Description
Surprising and seemingly impossible effects result from the 40 experiments included in this fascinating science resource—all based on real magnetic physics. Each experiment—such as using a common refrigerator magnet to create a three-dimensional image or floating a magnet and carbon sheet in midair—is outlined with step-by-step instructions and diagrams that illustrate the key concepts of magnetism. Even the most experienced science teacher or at-home tinkerer will find dozens of new tricks in this amazing collection.
