The booster field has the same number of pole as the converter and is generally shunt wound.
The choice then remains between the purchase of additional wire for feeders, the connection of a booster in the old feeders, or the installation of both larger feeders and a booster.
The voltage variation can be made either non-automatic or automatic, and in the latter case, it becomes necessary to provide a motor operated rheostat controlled by suitable relays, or the booster can be provided with a series field.
Wiring diagram for General Electric synchronous converter with seriesbooster as illustrated in fig.
First," declared Hardy, "we have to build atmosphere booster stations.
With the aid of a few atmosphere booster stations, it should be as easy for a colonist to live there as he would on Venus--or any tropical planet.
A synchronous booster converter can be built, if necessary, with a vertical shaft to satisfy special floor space and head room requirements.
How is the winding of the booster alternator armature connected?
For what service is the synchronous booster method desirable?
Booster sets are constructed in either series or shunt wound types and they may be arranged for either automatic or hand regulation, depending on the nature of the service required.
The principle of operation of the booster converter is therefore very simple and easily understood.
One of the bonuses America got from its poor rocket booster performance, as compared with the Russians, was a forced-draft course in miniaturization.
But as we burned off fuel, the twenty-million pound thrust of our Apollo booster began to tell, and my vision started to go black.
I was not called a free-go-easy coon, but a genuine booster for Calias and the Little Crow.
Now we put the booster on--that little miniature locomotive for the trailing-wheels that we saw a few minutes ago, built like an automobile engine and having the same gritty driving power.
Yet the booster is as ingeniously geared from its cylinders to its driving power as the engine of a high-grade automobile and weighs but 3500 pounds all told--a mere nothing in comparison with the energy that it gives off.
When the engineer comes to that nasty hill, in goes the booster and up goes the 3000-ton train over the hill, just as easily apparently as if it were coasting on a down-grade.
Finding it, he faced the direction wherein lay the secret spunnel booster through which he would send his message.
Microwave radio relay - transmission of long distance telephone calls and television programs by highly directional radio microwaves that are received and sent on from one booster station to another on an optical path.
Originally a booster was an auxiliary dynamo worked in series with the chief machine, and driven in any convenient way.
It is obvious that the excitation C3 will be proportionate to the difference in voltage between the battery and the mains, and it is arranged that battery volts and booster volts shall equal the volts on the mains.
C2 is dependent on the bus-bar voltage, and is greatest when the generator load is small: it opposes C1 and therefore excites the booster to charge the battery.
The booster B has its armature in series with the accumulators A, and is kept running in a given direction at a constant speed by means of a shunt-wound motor (not shown), so that the E.
The exact generator load at which the booster shall reverse its E.
A photograph of the switchboard at Greenock where this booster is in use shows the voltmeter needle as if it had been held rigid, although the exposure lasted 90 minutes.
Babbitt and Ryland were fellow-members of the Boosters' Club, and no Booster felt right if he bought anything from another Booster without receiving a discount.
Only let any doggone Booster try to get Number 5 away from a live Rotarian next year, and watch the fur fly!
There was a fine of ten cents for calling a Fellow Booster by anything but his nickname at a lunch, and as Babbitt jovially checked his hat the air was radiant with shouts of "Hello, Chet!
A good live wire from Baltimore or Seattle or Duluth is the twin-brother of every like fellowbooster from Buffalo or Akron, Fort Worth or Oskaloosa!
Obviously the Dabney field booster had been flashed on to get the ship out to space.
We were sixty light-years away when that booster effect died out.
Gately saw his mistake almost as soon as he had made it, but a booster named Gilpin, who was watching the play, was the quicker thinker of the two.
Meantime the attention of the caucus was diverted from the Chicago incident by the manifestation of that desire which is in every true American's heart, namely to be a booster for his own home town.
No booster ever had a better time than had those who attended the St. Louis Caucus.
The job of thebooster is to stimulate business by gambling freely himself.
These boosters are paid four dollars a day; and the ordinary Mexican, if given his choice between being secretary of state and a booster at the Red Owl, would pick the Owl every time.
They are used in connection with motorbooster sets to prevent a disastrous speed of the booster which might result from the loss of alternating current power.
It might have enough range to get a message to the nearest atmosphere booster station.
That's the direction of the nearest atmosphere booster station.
That mass is so hot now, if any booster energy hit it, it would be like a trigger on a bomb.
In the distance, not a mile away, was the huge crystal-clear dome of the atmosphere booster station, its roaring atomic motors sending a steady purring sound out across the desert.
The forward-impact delivered by the Ganeth-Klae booster was terrific, and nausea and vertigo struck us all simultaneously.
But I wasn't sure how far we had gone, and I lived with the hope that Klae's booster might reverse itself and start carrying us backwards down the centuries.
Hitachi, Limited manufactured the booster cases for the new H-2 vehicle, and their extensive experience with composite alloys at high- temperatures made them the obvious choice to create the hypersonic air- frame.
Soviet booster technology and aerodynamic know-how might be what made the project go, but when all was said and done, it was the money that talked.
Burdened with the weight of exhausted booster sections, the rocket curved back into the clutches of gravity.
They haven't got the boosteror anything like it, or they'd have used it.
Military men have known for years that the tremendously powerful booster which the Soviets have been using to launch their massive sputniks was originally designed to carry the primitive heavy version of the A-bomb across continents.
