In the past, creating permanent magnets in labs involved unsafe high energy sources, such as arrays of lead-acid batteries. The goal of this project is to develop a capacitor-based system capable of creating magnets using much lower levels of stored energy, resulting in a safer in-house production process.
The goal of this project is to develop a capacitor-based system capable of creating magnets using much lower levels of stored energy, resulting in a safer in-house production process. Producing custom magnets will transfer important design decisions to individual researchers, enabling more innovative robotics systems.
Furthermore, different magnetic loads may require different amounts of capacitors to be used, and the system should only use as many capacitors as needed. Power transistors controlled by a micro controller will be used to coordinate the charging and discharging process.
The point of intersection between the magnetization curve and capacitors voltage ampere characteristic represents a condition of stable self execution and defines the corresponding no load terminal voltage and exciting current. There exists number of motor – capacitor configurations for self excitation. Some of them are:
This method suffers from sub-synchronous resonance which is supplying the power to the inductive & dynamic load. In practice, series capacitors are used for the variation of reactive current. Hence, to compensate the reactive component of the power, capacitors are connected in series with the load.
Using capacitors instead of batteries as the energy store will result in lower total amounts of stored energy, thus improving the safety of the system. Since the system will be designed with the intention of magnetizing only a few magnets at a time, it will be well suited to making custom magnets cheaply.

MODELING A SELF-EXCITED INDUCTION GENERATOR
When a standalone induction machine is driven by a mechanical prime mover, the residual magnetism in the rotor of the machine induces an EMF in the stator windings at a frequency proportional to the rotor speed. This EMF is applied to the capacitors connected to the stator terminals and causes reactive current to flow in the stator windings.
