Land Rights and The Global Land Rush May 2012 Introduction A global land rush—sparked initially by a dramatic rise in global food prices and now driven by a variety of factors including increased demand for food and biofuels‚ carbon markets and speculation—is remaking the face of agriculture and land use in the developing world. These investments‚ whether by purchase‚ lease‚ or concession of land‚ typically shift the land from traditional uses‚ such as smallholder farms or communal grazing

A DC motor is a mechanically commutated electric motor powered from direct current (DC). The stator is stationary in space by definition and therefore so is its current. The current in the rotor is switched by the commutator to also be stationary in space. This is how the relative angle between the stator and rotor magnetic flux is maintained near 90 degrees‚ which generates the maximum torque. DC motors have a rotating armature winding but non-rotating armature magnetic field and a static field

The speed of an asynchronous motor rotating field and thus its rotor speed depends on the number of pairs of poles in the stator field .the rotor speeds n are lower than the table values by the amount of the relevant slip speed ns. Motors are designed with up to three stators windings‚ which have different number of pairs of poles. They can therefore run at up to pairs of poles. They can be in any desired ratio to one another. A pole-changing switch is used to changing poles for the desires speed

FAJILAN Reluctance Motor Introduction A reluctance motor is a type of electric motor that induces non-permanent magnetic poles on the ferromagnetic rotor. Torque is generated through the phenomenon of magnetic reluctance. There are various types of reluctance motor: Synchronous reluctance Synchronous reluctance motors have an equal number of stator and rotor poles. The projections on the rotor are arranged to introduce internal flux “barriers“

Zahurul Haq zahurul@me.buet.ac.bd http://teacher.buet.ac.bd/zahurul/ Department of Mechanical Engineering Bangladesh University of Engineering & Technology e316.eps ME 475: Mechatronics AC motors are smaller in size‚ reliable and less costly. AC motors run at fixed speed set by the line frequency. Easy speed‚ torque & direction controls in DC motors. DC motors are generally operate at lower voltages which makes these easier to interface with control
