For example, stepper motors give precisepositioning, a synchronous machine generates electrical power, a series motor drives a hand drill on eitherdc or ac, an actuator staples papers, and an induction machine drives a variable speed fan. Here, thevariable speed drive adds a dimension previously not practical. The convenience and energy savings of avariable speed induction motor driving a fan become quickly evident to engineering students, many ofwhom have recently finished their mandatory thermodynamics course. The purpose here is arousecuriosity about the adjustable speed drive (and the other machines, for that matter) in a simpledemonstration using something familiar.
