Abstract: 29,734. Thomas, J. G. P. Dec. 22. Electric and magnetic.-In eddy-current absorption brakes for use in loading and testing internalcombustion engines or other prime movers, and comprising a cylindrical armature and field magnet, one of which is rotated within the other, the demagnetizing effect of the eddy currents upon the main magnetic field is reduced by subdividing the armature cylinder in planes parallel to the direction of relative motion of the armature and field. Cooling is effected by providing the armature with water circulation or with vanes having a large cooling-surface. The non-rotary part of the brake is held stationary by means of a spring balance which indicates the pull exerted between the two members. Fig. 2 shows one form of brake in which the field magnet 1 is rotated within a stationary armature, which is composed of a number of disks 6 with insulating air-spaces 7 where the eddy currents are produced, and with outer spaces 12 through which water is circulated. In the form shown in Fig. 4, the magnet 23 is stationary, and the rotating armature consists of a number of disks 28 fitted with a number of vanes 30, which are arranged to produce a suction of air through holes 31, and provide a large cooling-area. The former type may be cooled by air vanes providing a large cooling-surface to the stationary armature, and the latter type may be cooled by water circulation supplied through the shaft 29, Fig. 4.
