Gear adaptive variator may be the toothed transmitting with the variable transfer ratio which is certainly adapting to the adjustable loading. Unsuccessful attempts of creation of a gear variator had been undertaken repeatedly. The main problem is-maintenance of continuous engagement of cogwheels of a variator. Your choice of this problem can be based on use of a kinematic chain with two examples of freedom. Earlier it was proved that this kinematic chain with closed contour possesses the result of drive adaptation. The gear variator can be carried out in the form of the shut differential mechanism. The external variable technical loading changes the transfer ratio itself without any control system. The gear variator opens essentially new concept of creation of adaptive engineering for machines with variable technological level of resistance (for instance, adaptive gearbox of car). The theory of a gear variator is based on discovery «Impact of force adaptation in Variator Gearbox mechanics» which is certainly published in leading editions of globe press. In the paper the bases of the theory of a gear adaptive variator are shown.
There are various kinds of DC drive setups with the designation dependant on the source of their DC current. This is often the case in emergency backup systems. For example, power plants have a financial institution of batteries that supply DC current to emergency oil pumps that supply oil to the bearings of a turbine during a crisis shutdown. A second way to obtain DC current could be from a (Motor-Generator) MG set. In this case, the electric motor drives a DC generator that generates the DC current. These 1st two types of drives provide pure DC current, as a result they do not create any significant electrically induced signals in regards to vibration. The last type of DC drive, and the one that will be discussed in this paper, uses silicon controlled rectifiers (SCRs) to rectify AC current into DC Current. These drives create a DC signal with AC pulses that correspond to the firing of the SCRs. These pulses or absence thereof regarding failed SCRs and or gating problems produce vibration signals which can be analyzed to look for the source of the defect. Improper tuning of adjustable speed drives can also generate vibration problems.
Rectification: The first idea that needs to be understood when it comes to DC drives can be rectification. Rectification may be the process of converting AC current into DC current. Pictured below is definitely a fifty percent wave rectifier and the resulting result. Only the 
positive section of the current Al passes through the rectifier.
