The auger is like a big screw. As the screw turns pellets travel from supply bin to fire along the shaft. The auger turns because it is connected to a motor that is geared down from its rotational speed to a slower speed so pellets are delivered in a timely way to the fire and not shot like bullets out of the stove.

What is the use of turning gear main motor and piggy motor in steam turbine?

The turning gear main motor and piggy motor in a steam turbine are used for maintaining the turbine's rotation during startup and shutdown phases. The turning gear main motor provides slow rotation of the turbine shaft to ensure proper lubrication and prevent thermal stress on the components. The piggy motor, often a smaller auxiliary motor, assists in this process by allowing for fine adjustments or providing additional support during low-speed operations. Together, they help maintain the integrity and longevity of the turbine system.


Is there anyway it increase the power out put of a motor?

The power output of a motor can be changed by the use of gears. Gears can be used to increase torque by reducing the speed of the output shaft by placing a large gear on the output shaft, coupled to a smaller gear. Conversely, by using a small gear on the output shaft, coupled to a larger gear, the speed can be increased with a reduction in torque.

Firebird 2000 headlight make humming noise after they close?

the humming noise you are hearing is the gear inside of the headlight motor. there is a worm the motor turns, you chipped a tooth off of the motor. it won't read that the headlight is down, so it continues to turn until the override shuts it off. its a factory defect. Pontiac used a nylon motor to turn a metal worm. over time the worm wears the gear out. you have three options to fix it. one, replace the motor. two, take the motor out, take it apart rotate the gear inside the motor (only half the gear makes contact with the worm) so the other half of the gear is now used. it should be good for about another year after that. three, take out the motor break it apart and replace the nylon gear with a metal gear. if you take the motor apart, you need to epoxy it back together, the motor is not designed to be worked on. a new gear should cost about 50 dollars. a new motor should cost about 250. but it will have the same nylon gear in it. good luck.


Can an electric motor run a generator to power itself if the motor has a small gear and the generator has a big gear?

I think it can work with a certain type of generator and an electric motor like one that uses 300w/h The idea is to run a generator that can produce more electricity than needed to run the motor that is powering it.
