The Amazing Eddy Current

[@theCodyReeder]

Regarding the transformer: the eddy voltage is so low that even the iron oxide on the plates is enough resistance to top current from forming. The weld of course has lower resistance but since its pretty much a high resistance iron wire it is not so bad to be worse than leaving the plates loose (because they vibrate like crazy when under load). Still if you hook up a huge load to the transformer and look at that weld with an infrared camera it will indeed "light up". also along the same idea a solid aluminum pipe of the same size and weight will make the magnet fall more slowly than the foil roll.

@@wouldntyouliketoknow9891 Oh, good call. I was just watching a video recently where someone said you could test a alkalline battery just by hooking it up to a voltmeter and seeing if it's close to 1.5V. A lot of people in the comments admonished that person, saying that you don't really know the health of the battery unless you're checking the voltage while drawing non-negligible current.

[@wouldntyouliketoknow9891]

@@tom_something There is a ton of science around the seemingly simple thing of telling the state of charge of a battery. Short version is that it depends on the battery chemistry and how you are using the battery. But the guys who did the admonishing spoke too soon. Measuring the battery's open circuit voltage (no load) can tell you a lot about the battery. For an alkaline cell battery, expect 1.59-1.62 volts open circuit on a fresh battery at 100% state of charge at room temperature. If you measure the OCV and its under 1.50 you can tell immediately that the battery is flat without any further testing. But the converse is not true; just because the OCV is good doesn't mean the battery is good. There are various defects it could have that only show up under load, so the second step of testing is to put a non-negligible load on it.

[@lloydevans2900]

The larger of the two transformers you showed here is a microwave oven transformer (MOT), which is designed to step mains AC up to around 2000 volts for the magnetron circuit. The pair of welds across all the layers of the MOT core do serve a purpose beyond being structural: The ground connection for the high voltage side is the MOT core and its mounting plate. The ground terminal of the magnetron is connected to the MOT through the isolation capacitor (to filter out any stray DC) and the metal frame of the microwave itself. This simplifies wiring a little, since only one high voltage lead needs to go all the way from the MOT to the magnetron. Another function is to ensure that any stray current induced inside the oven itself is immediately grounded. If the layers of the MOT core were not welded together, the induced high voltages would spark or arc between layers, overheating and corroding them.

I would say that the Microwave transformer, being one that works in high power ranges such as 800-1000 watts, creates a loud and noticeable 'humming' noise in the 50/60 Hz range. The MOT is welded together and coated with resin to suppress those humming noises. It is cheaper than clamping and would save space. Naturally the eddy current losses would be higher compared to other laminated iron cores but probably not enough to compensate for the acoustic noises you would get from them otherwise

[@sloth4urluv]

Also since it connected at a single point I imagine it would limit the loop current. (assuming it is only welded on one side) Current flowing in would be the same as current flowing out effectively canceling it out.

[@beansprouts113]

PhD student in electrical steels here: welding down the side doesn't cause eddy currents to flow through the stack (unless burrs accidentally touch and form micro-welds) From Philip Beckley's Electrical Steels for Rotating Machines :"It takes two short-circuits to complete an eddy current loop, and a weld bead down the outside of a stator stack amounts to one short-circuit line in what would appear to be a safe place. However, if burrs formed on the tooth parts of stampings produce short-circuits then these complement the weld bead current paths and raised losses are inevitable." Welds are used to secure the stacks, particularly when they're larger as the glue/coating will have a harder time under increased forces.

[@lochinvar00465]

Welding both sides of the transformer will result in a complete circuit and power loss and from the ones I've seen they have two welds on each side(4 welds). Some wac-nut thought it would be cooler to weld it than to use conventional means. It also GREATLY increases the difficulty when trying to salvage wire from old transformers. The practice of constructing things like that and also potting are to me the resident evil in modern electronics. Used to be you could salvage practically anything relatively easy, not so anymore.

That story of the tech has been floating around for decades. Many who teach computer cert courses use it to keep students from causing shorts and killing the computer. The only place where there is that much voltage current etc is in the power supply even coming off the 12 volt line the current etc is not high enough to heat a wedding ring up to the point where it would be any thing more than uncomfortably hot. You normally wont do much work inside a computer case with it hooked to power other than maybe hooking up a fan lead or a hard drive power cable.

Computers generally run a 12 - 20 volts on the motherboard. The most this voltage would do is crash/damage the motherboard and leave marks on the ring. It is not high enough current to melt gold. Also, it would have shorted through about 1mm. Therefore it would not melt. I have ran 19v from a laptop charger through a good wire and it did nothing but short the adapter. (Do not try at home.) It certainly did not melt.

[@BlueprintScience]

The welding on the MOT makes very little difference to the overall functionality. Think of it like plates of a capacitor - they are all connected at one end (analogous to the plates on the transformer being welded) but it is the surface area that matters. So long as the grain of the plates is (mostly) parallel to the magnetic field, using plates instead of a solid core only sacrifices a tiny about of efficiency.

[@bm830810]

also the MOT is only ON for short periods, so high efficiency and no load losses are not that critical

[@Basement-Science]

Basically the iron sheets do not form a complete loop of wire. Think of winding a coil onto the outer legs of the core instead of the middle leg. You would wind it in the same way as on the middle leg. Since the plates are welded on only one side of each outer leg, but not on the side facing the middle leg, this does not form a loop of wire.

[@nejiniisan1265]

And the welded joint ensures less chances of vibration noises.

An old but common example of eddy current in action were mechanical speedometers, and probably tachometers, too. The flexible shaft from the transmission had a magnet on the end that would spin inside an aluminum cup. The cup had spring like that on a clock escapement to return it to zero, but otherwise just had the needle attached. The faster the magnet rotated, the higher the needle would rise.

[@wouldntyouliketoknow9891]

Tachometers were never done this way, at least not in any mass manufactured designs. That would have required having a cable coming directly off the engine ahead of the transmission. Even at camshaft speed that would have been some serious RPMS (camshaft speed = 1/2 crankshaft speed, so 2500-3000 RPM on most pushrod engines). Speedometers were able to do this because they had the relatively low speed cable coming off of the transmission tail housing, after the gear reduction, so it was more or less at wheel speed (equal to wheel speed on FWD vehicles, equal to driveshaft speed on RWD vehicles). Tachometers were done with two opposing coils, one fixed and one variable, acting on the needle. Same as fuel gauges. The variable coil was driven off the ignition circuit so that it was active whenever the coil was in dwell. This is effectively a PWM signal since the dwell duration is essentially fixed but the total cycle time gets shorter and shorter as the engine RPMs increase. Of course now days its all done digitally, even if they have actual physical gauges for style. The faux gauges have stepper motors to position them.

[@jeffbeasley8235]

@@wouldntyouliketoknow9891 I have a motorcycle whose tach is driven from a cable from the exhaust camshaft. There's a worm gear that reduces the rotation speed of the cable by a few times compared to the camshaft. It's very common for older motorcycles and reliable as long as you keep the cable lubricated.

[@bassman34516]

Yes as the person above stated the electrical connection for the tachometer was commonly run off of the distributor in older vehicles. Now the instrument cluster is itself a self contained computer module receiving packages of data from all the other modules in the vehicle via the controller area network or can lines. This is done so that a module can see what a specific sensor wired to another module is reading without having to be directly wired to it. This is the most common way vehicles are wired today commonly called multiplexing, the only difference is the language they talk to each other with such as iso j1939 or GM-lan. Also the actual sensor that determines the engine’s rpm is the crankshaft position sensor or cam position sensor. Besides informing the ecm what rpm the engine is turning at it also is used to determine where the piston in no. 1 cylinder is which the ecm’s software uses to calculate where the rest are it uses this information to time the fuel injection and or spark if it’s a gasoline engine. The sensor may use inductance, reluctance or may be a Hall effect sensor.

[@dougankrum3328]

I've got a 73 Corvette, the tach is 'mechanical' driven right from the distributor....I assume it's the same...never thought about it, now I have to find out.

[@deadfreightwest5956]

@@wouldntyouliketoknow9891 - there were hand-held mechanical tachs, too. I remember seeing them in a Starrett tool catalog from the 1930s. Not sure how they worked, though.

[@mr1jon1smith]

The welds don't affect the transformer because they are only on one side of the exterior side of the arms of the E armature. In an armature the eddy currents are circular and perpendicular to the magnetic field. So to affect the transformer it should also have welds on the interior side of the exterior arms of the armature as well. That will create a curent loop. I'm sorry I'm not very good at explaining stuff. I hope people understand what I'm trying to say.

[@listtamaru]

6:18 the shorter wire isn't melting exactly because it's shorter. Resistance grows with length of the conductor, isn't it?

[@muchmore344]

wellding the transformer on the edge is not too bad because the magnetic field lineas mostly stay inside the iron core. And since they mostly do not loop around the welld line not much current is induced. There is acctually some transformers used in audio gear that have an cupper beld soldered around the entair transformer to prevent exes magnetic field exiting the core.

[@siddheshsharma22945]

@Mehdi Do these Eddy currents flow to the ground through our body ? Like how do they die if there is a constant source of changing Magnetic fields inducing them ? Can that metal plate be pictured to a source having a series resistance ? #Electroboom .

[@aquasama588]

The Welds don't Affect the transformer that much, The High Current draw is from the design of the transformer primary (Primary Inductance is low). Actually removing the Welds makes the transformer draw 40% more Current and 60% less Efficient power conversion. (I accidentally removed the welds from two Microwave transformers while modifying the transformer and only got 1kv each from 220v).

[@sivakumar-oh2if]

Yes I had the exact same doubt you had on the Transformers welding I think there is a loss in magnetic field due to the eddy current because of welding on the Transformer, the current flows through the area at which the welding has been done so Eddy current is more than previous which means without welding

In aviation, we actually use Eddy currents for NDIs (non-destructive inspections) on certain parts for cracks or flaws. It's a neat tool, like a box with a wired pen, and you just move it around the part to generate an Eddy current in the part. If there's a crack or flaw in the metal, it will disrupt the Eddy current. There's some other neat NDIs too. One of them is magnetic particle inspection. You magnetically charge a part, then drop iron powder on it. The iron powder will align to the flux, and we can see disruptions in the flux. These disruptions indicate cracks or defects. Unfortunately the cracks might not show up depending on their orientation relative to the field's poles, so we need to change the pole locations and try again sometimes. There's also dye penetrant, which is when you spray a dyed penetrant (like WD-40, it gets inside the cracks) then wipe it down. The dyed penetrant stays inside the cracks, while the rest gets wiped up. Then you spray a "revealer," which is like a mix between foam and flour, onto the part. The dye pen in the cracks gets wicked out, revealing red lines in the white spray. There's also florescent versions. There's ultrasonic inspections, which is like an ultrasound for a plane. X-ray inspections, which is pretty self explanatory. Then there's the "coin tap" test, where you tap certain parts with a coin or special lightweight hammer, and listen to it ring. Depending on how it rings, it might be cracked.
