Shunt generators use a field winding to produce electrical energy from an armature winding. They come in different configurations and use the same electrical energy to sustain the process. Mechanical energy input is required to sustain generation. Electric motors work on reciprocal principles. A shunt generator is a device that produces electrical energy from an […]
A shunt valve is used in a ventriculoperitoneal (VP) shunt to treat hydrocephalus. The valve regulates the flow of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) from the brain to other parts of the body. There are two types of shunt valves: adjustable and fixed pressure. The neurosurgeon chooses which type based on the patient’s condition. Symptoms of excessive […]
