A system of interconnecting trainers is provided. The trainers may share power and/or exchange control signals, resulting in reduction in weight/size and increase in portability. Some of the trainers may include a rechargeable battery to allow the trainers to operate without being connected to an AC outlet. A power source selector switch may select an external AC power source or the internal battery to be used by the trainer. Some the trainers may include one or more DC and/or AC signal distribution relays that may receive control signals from student designed circuits or controllers and may provide DC and/or AC signals to other trainers. Some of the trainers may include built-in devices such as oscilloscopes, signal generators with displays, multimeters, and pneumatic devices.

A permanent magnet generator experimental device for simulating electromechanical cross and complex faults is disclosed. The device includes a base, a DC drive motor, a permanent magnet simulation generator, bearing seats, a stator short circuit wiring board and time relays. A certain degree of radial air-gap eccentricity is set by moving a stator and a stator winding, and then a stator short circuit is set by controlling time relays; or a certain degree of axial air-gap eccentricity is set by moving a stator and a stator winding, and then a stator short circuit is set by controlling time relays. According to the above settings, different degrees of electromechanical cross and complex faults are simulated as required. The present invention is reliable in solution and easy to realize, and can simulate different degrees of radial air-gap eccentricity faults, axial air-gap eccentricity faults, stator short circuit faults, and compound faults of air-gap eccentricity and stator short circuit of a generator and provide the possibility of research and experimental analysis of air-gap eccentricity faults, stator short circuit faults, and compound faults of air-gap eccentricity and stator short circuit.

A Lynchpin structure may be combined with one or more additional Lynchpin structures to form a compound Lynchpin propulsion structure. Each Lynchpin structure may include six pentangular areas, and one or more of the pentangular areas may include a propulsion device. The propulsion may be used to propel the compound Lynchpin propulsion structure through or over various media, such as through air, across ground, on or underwater, or through or over other media. The propulsion may include avionic propulsion, ground propulsion, hydrodynamic propulsion, or other types of propulsion. A single type of propulsion device may be used within one or more of the pentangular areas, or diverse types of propulsion may be used to provide various navigational performance or multi-mode operation. Each propulsion device may also include a device to direct the propulsion, such as a single or multi-axis gimble or adjustable aerodynamic control surface.
