Interim Development Report for The Development of a Gas Lubricated Bearing Blower Assembly for Use in an AN/TED-9 Radio Transmitter

摘要

Investigations of hydrodynamic gas bearings were conducted to deter¬mine the effect of geometry variations on bearing performance. The effect of motor magnetic loads on performance was also evaluated.nTo confirm the validity of the investigations a motor blower was designed meeting the requirements of the AN/TED-9 Radio Transmitter.nThe results of rig tests and qualification tests of the blower-motor assembly are presented.
