Ein wachruttelndes Fragebuch uber die radioaktive Strahlenbelastung. Die deutschen Atomkraftwerke sollen abgeschaltet werden. Um den Strom aus regenerativen Quellen transportieren zu konnen, wird das Stromnetz ausgebaut. Neben den schon bekannten Konsequenzen aus den geplanten Hochspannungstrassen wird die Frage beleuchtet, ob weitere Konsequenzen bisher unberucksichtigt blieben. Werden die geplanten Gleichstromtrassen zu einer radioaktiven Belastung fuhren? Fur Laien und von einem Nicht-Fachmann geschrieben, wird das notwendige Basiswissen leichtverdaulich vermittelt, der aktuelle Stand...

This book endeavors to break the stereotype that basic electrical machine courses are limited only to transformers, DC brush machines, induction machines, and wound-field synchronous machines. It is intended to serve as a textbook for basic courses on Electrical Machines covering the fundamentals of the electromechanical energy conversion, transformers, classical electrical machines, i.e., DC brush machines, induction machines, wound-field rotor synchronous machines and modern electrical machines, i.e., switched reluctance machines (SRM) and permanent magnet (PM) brushless machines. In...
