[edit] Title

"A compulsator is the short name for a compensated pulsed alternator, a form of power supply."

Then, shouldn't the page be titled "Compensated pulsed alternator"? I hesitate to do this myself because titles are supposed to be what most people would recognize, and are intended for "general readers, and not experts." -- KyleP 20:34, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Difference from FES

Can someone please explain the difference between a Compulsator and flywheel energy storage?(I will post the same question on the FES talk page, please reply there.) — Sebastian 08:05, 1 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Scheme?

I'd love to see a scheme of a compulsator to understand better how it works compared to a simple flywheel. --84.56.197.45 (talk) 15:51, 3 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] What is meant by "compensation"?

I don't understand what is meant by "compensation". The article implies that the low inductance of the windings is "compensation". Compensation for what? I understand the reason for low inductance, but why call it compensation? I would think that the device was called a compulsator because it momentarily compensates for a shortage of power. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Dwane E Anderson (talk • contribs) 23:16, 8 March 2008 (UTC)
