Methods, systems, and devices for portable load balancing and source optimization are described herein. One portable load balancing and source optimization system, includes one or more electric generators that supply three phase electrical power, at least one sensor to sense whether the three phases have become unbalanced beyond a threshold amount, a set of contactors that enable the contacts of the three phases to be changed to adjust the balance of the three phases, and a controller to determine which reversible contactors of the set of contactors to change to adjust that balance of the three phases based on information from the sensor.

Portable load balancing and source optimization

A system for precisely measuring muzzle exit velocity of a 'muzzle loaded' mortar projectile fired from a mortar tube using two back-biased Hall effect sensors for projectile gas ring channel detection. The system includes a back-biased Hall effect sensor block, a digital resolver electronic circuit and a computer software interface. The back-biased Hall effect sensors are located in a calibrated sensor block attached to a mortar tube. As the projectile metal casing passes a face of the sensors, the sensors trigger and release, providing two electronic pulses. The pulse edges are captured in the resolver electronics, containing a discriminator circuit for filtering all input pulses to distinguish between a projectile loading event and a projectile firing event. Once a valid firing event is detected, an output of precision timers is presented serially to a computer where it is processed and displayed by a computer software interface.
