The meat grinder: Theoretical and practical limitations
Oved S. F. Zucker, John E. Wyatt, K. Lindner · IEEE Transactions on Magnetics · 1984
The Meat Grinder is a circuit for reversible energy transfer between inductors. It produces an effective L0by nonkinetic means through the use of series activated switches resulting in the limit in an energy rather than flux invariant process. The paper uses a rather simple proof of this condition and discusses various practical aspects inherent in such devices.
