Crane

Introduction

Electric cranes are materials movement tools that are powered by electricity. All cranes that are not operated manually involve the use of electricity at some point during their operation. The extent to which an industrial crane uses electricity determines whether or not it qualifies as an electric crane.

Very large industrial shipyard cranes, which are used to load sea containers that weigh several tons, require electricity in order for the complex of servos, pulleys and hoist systems to move parts from one place to another. The generation source of this electricity is often one or more very powerful generators.

They can be diesel powered or they can draw their source from another fuel. Because they generate electricity as a result of burning fuel, these cranes are generally not considered to be electric cranes. The words "electric crane" usually refer to smaller, lower load-capacity cranes that are used in manufacturing processes and in comparatively light-duty construction operations.

Calculation

You can determine the magnitude of that force by plugging the dimensions and other properties of the magnet based into a simple equation: F = (n X i)2  X magnetic constant X a / (2 X g2). Passing an electrical current through the solenoid results in a magnetic field that exerts force on nearby ferromagnetic objects, such as pieces of iron or steel. The joining together of magnetic and electric forces on a charged item is called the Lorentz force.

Calculate the force by writing the equation:

F = (n x i)2 x magnetic constant x a / (2 x g2)

Where, F = force, i = current, g = length of the gap between the solenoid and a piece of metal, a = Area, n = number of turns in the solenoid, and the magnetic constant =  4 x PI x 10-7.

Methodology

In this project images are replaced by using coding. jlabels are used to import the images. By pressing the different buttons images of Load 1 and Load 2 are moved towards the magnet of crane. By unloading the crane images are move backward to original place. And the exit button is used to close the program.
