Travoprost. Travoprost, sold under the brand name Travatan among others, is a medication used to treat high pressure inside the eye including glaucoma. [ 4] Specifically it is used for open angle glaucoma when other agents are not sufficient. [ 5][ 4] It is used as an eye drop. [ 4] Effects generally occur within two hours.
A piezoelectric motor or piezo motor is a type of electric motor based on the change in shape of a piezoelectric material when an electric field is applied, as a consequence of the converse piezoelectric effect. An electrical circuit makes acoustic or ultrasonic vibrations in the piezoelectric material, most often lead zirconate titanate and ...
A homopolar motor is a direct current electric motor with two magnetic poles, the conductors of which always cut unidirectional lines of magnetic flux by rotating a conductor around a fixed axis so that the conductor is at right angles to a static magnetic field. The resulting force being continuous in one direction, the homopolar motor needs ...
An electric motor is a machine that converts electrical energy into mechanical energy. Most electric motors operate through the interaction between the motor's magnetic field and electric current in a wire winding to generate force in the form of torque applied on the motor's shaft. An electric generator is mechanically identical to an electric ...
Reciprocating electric motor. A reciprocating electric motor is a motor in which the armature moves back and forth rather than circularly. Early electric motors were sometimes of the reciprocating type, such as those made by Daniel Davis in the 1840s. [ 1] Today, reciprocating electric motors are rare but they do have some niche applications, e ...
Synchronous motor. Miniature synchronous motor used in analog clocks. The rotor is made of permanent magnet. A synchronous electric motor is an AC electric motor in which, at steady state, [ 1] the rotation of the shaft is synchronized with the frequency of the supply current; the rotation period is exactly equal to an integer number of AC cycles.
1828, Ányos Jedlik. Hungarian, physicist and unsung father of the dynamo and electric motor; invented the first commutated rotary electromechanical machine with electromagnets. [ 3][ 5] He invented the commutator. In 1828 Jedlik demonstrated the first device to contain the three main components of practical DC motors: the stator, rotor and ...
A linear motor is an electric motor that has had its stator and rotor "unrolled", thus, instead of producing a torque ( rotation ), it produces a linear force along its length. However, linear motors are not necessarily straight. Characteristically, a linear motor's active section has ends, whereas more conventional motors are arranged as a ...
