    Abstract: A tunneling device includes a body assembly, an expander coupled to the body assembly and extending along a longitudinal axis, and a tip coupled to the expander. The expander is disposed between a force transmitter and the tip. The expander is expandable in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal axis between a first configuration having a first width measured perpendicular to the longitudinal axis and a second configuration having a second width measured perpendicular to the longitudinal axis. The tip has a width measured perpendicular to the longitudinal axis. The first width of the expander is equal to or less than the width of the tip. The force transmitter is configured to deliver a force through the expander to the tip to move the tip in a direction parallel to the longitudinal axis with the expander in the second configuration.

    Abstract: An electric machine includes at least one rotor module. A rotor module includes a rotor hub having a hub body, and a plurality of first protrusions and a plurality of second protrusions. One or more first protrusions include an elongated portion and a head portion. One or more second protrusions include a wedge-shaped profile. The rotor module further includes a magnetic core having a plurality of core members disposed on the rotor hub. A core member of the plurality of core members is disposed such that the head portion of the first protrusion located between the adjacent second protrusions engages with the core member, and each of the one or more second protrusions extends at least partially in a space between adjacent core members of the plurality of core members. Moreover, the rotor module includes a permanent magnet disposed in a space between the adjacent core members.

    Abstract: A navigation apparatus for use in navigating a pipe having a sidewall defining an interior cavity is provided. The navigation apparatus includes a body assembly having a first end and a second end and configured to move through the interior cavity of the pipe. The navigation apparatus also includes a channel defining a fluid passageway extending at least partly between the first end and the second end of the body assembly, an inlet for fluid from the interior cavity of the pipe to enter the fluid passageway, and an outlet for the fluid to exit the fluid passageway and return to the interior cavity of the pipe. The channel is configured to allow the fluid to flow through the fluid passageway and from the first end of the body assembly to the second end of the body assembly as the body assembly moves through the interior cavity of the pipe.

The tip has a width measured perpendicular to the longitudinal axis. The first width of the expander is equal to or less than the width of the tip. The force transmitter is configured to deliver a force through the expander to the tip to move the tip in a direction parallel to the longitudinal axis with the expander in the second configuration.
