    Abstract: A wiring assembly having a support structure with a surface region formed about a central axis. In one embodiment, a groove formed in the surface region has first and second opposing wall portions each extending inward toward the central axis, and a length of conductor is positioned in the groove to extend along the groove. A sheet of material is positioned about a portion of the conductor, and a continuous medium extends from one of the groove wall portions to the sheet.

    Abstract: A configuration of a plurality of elongate, axially-magnetized curvilinear permanent magnets having high length to cross-section ratio, produced, for example, by the PM-Wire manufacturing process, that produce an electric machine permanent magnet rotor structure with a very low intrinsic demagnetizing field, allowing for operation at high temperature, at high RPM, or enabling use of permanent magnets comprising low coercivity magnetic materials. Exemplary embodiments of two-pole, four-pole, six-pole and eight-pole rotor permanent magnet configurations for single and dual rotor applications. The novel configuration of axially-magnetized curvilinear permanent magnets reduces demagnetization at high temperature, increases electric machine power density, reduces weight by eliminating the need for back iron, increases motor reliability, reduces manufacturing costs, and enables higher electric motor torque and electric generators. Electric machines, rotors and magnets of the invention may contain no rare earth magnetic materials.

    Abstract: A continuous method of manufacturing permanent magnets and the permanent magnets created thereby. A fine powder is created from a combination of magnetic metals. The powder (a metal alloy) is placed in a non-magnetic container of any desired shape which could be, for example, a tube. The metal alloy and tube are swaged while a magnetic field is applied. Once swaging is complete, the metal alloy and tube are sintered and then cooled. Instead of sintering, a bonding agent can mixed into the powder. Following cooling, the metal alloy is magnetized by placing it between poles of powerful electromagnets with the desired field direction. The process of the invention enables mass-produced, cost-effective PM products, which are more robust, easily assembled into products, enables new “wire like” shapes with arbitrary magnetization direction. The process enables mass production of permanent magnets of any desired cross section, produces permanent magnets continuously that may be cut to any length, and may, in an embodiment, result in directional magnets.

    Abstract: A dual-rotor machine comprising a dual rotor support structure rotatably connected to a frame. A stationary stator is disposed between the rotors and is fixed to the frame. An inner rotor and outer rotor, each comprising a permanent magnet Halbach array, are coaxially disposed with the stator and are rotable about the stator. In this configuration, the inner rotor channels its magnetic flux to its outside, while the outer rotor channels its magnetic flux to its inside. The magnetic flux density at the stator for the dual-rotor machine can be as high as 2 Tesla or higher for high-grade neodymium-iron-boron permanent magnet material, and the stored magnetic energy for conversion to mechanical or electrical energy available to the stator may be at least 0.5 kJ/m. The rotor Halbach arrays may comprise monolithic permanent magnets with continuously variable magnetic field direction.

    Abstract: Microemitter arrays comprising a plurality of microemitters having current transfer features such as microtips or blades to form contactless current transfer structures, and homopolar machines comprising same, are described and claimed. The invention further defines homopolar motors or generators comprising electrical connections formed of electrodes that transfer current without mechanical contact. Micron-size electron field emitters offer contact-free current transfer with high longevity, high reliability and are insensitive to temperature and if needed ionizing radiation. The microemitters may comprise diamond material and may be placed in a vacuum or noble gas environment. The gap between microemitters and electrodes for efficient, reliable current transfer could be in the range of 0.5 to 2 mm. The current transfer can be accomplished without mechanical contact, enabling higher RPM motors than previously achievable with brush or liquid metal electrical connections.
