Abstract
The construction and operating principle of a prototype homopolar generator are described. Certain properties of the experimental external and regulation characteristics, conditioned by the possibility of only discrete changes in load resistance, are considered. Theoretical and experimental generator characteristics are presented for three different speeds, together with the power dependence of the efficiency at two speed values.Tables 1, Figs 7, Refs 2.
