Abstract: A system has an axial field rotary energy device with an axis, a printed circuit board (PCB) stator and a rotor with a rotor shaft and rotor disks having respective permanent magnets (PM). The rotor rotates about the axis relative to the PCB stator. A variable frequency drive (VFD) has VFD components coupled to the axial field rotary energy device. A device enclosure contains the axial field rotary energy device. A VFD enclosure contains the VFD, and the device and VFD enclosures are axially aligned and coupled to each other. A cooling system is integrated within the device and VFD enclosures and cools the axial field rotary energy device and the VFD. The cooling system has a cooling fan located axially outboard of the device and VFD enclosures. The cooling fan circulates an air flow radially and axially relative to the device and VFD enclosures.

Abstract: An axial field rotary energy device can include a housing having an axis with an axial direction. A stator assembly can include a plurality of stator panels that are discrete panels from each other. The stators panels can be mechanically and stationarily coupled to the housing. Each stator panel can include a printed circuit board (PCB) having coils that are electrically conductive, each stator panel consists of a single electrical phase. In addition, rotors can be rotatably mounted within the housing on opposite axial ends of the stator assembly. The rotors can be mechanically coupled together with a rotor spacer. Each rotor can include magnets. In addition, in one version, no rotor is disposed between axially adjacent ones of the stator panels.

Abstract: An axial field rotary energy device can include a housing having an axis. A stator assembly is mounted to the housing and has stator panels that are axially-stacked and discrete panels from each other. Each stator panel includes a respective printed circuit board (PCB) having respective coils that are electrically conductive and interconnected within the respective PCB. In addition, a rotor assembly including rotors is rotatably mounted within the housing on opposite axial ends of the stator assembly. The rotors can be mechanically coupled together. Each rotor can include magnets having leading and trailing edges. The trailing edge of one magnet and the leading edge of an adjacent magnet can be parallel to each other to define a consistent circumferential spacing, relative to the axis, between adjacent ones of the magnets.
