    Abstract: A hybrid drive system can include a shaft, an electrical machine comprising a rotor and a stator, and a mechanical disconnect system connecting the rotor to the shaft. The mechanical disconnect system is configured to mechanically connect the rotor to the shaft in a first state and to mechanically disconnect the rotor from the shaft in a second state such that rotor does not drive the shaft or such that the rotor is not driven by the shaft. The rotor can be a permanent magnet rotor, for example.

    Abstract: A cooling system includes a thermal engine having a fluid output, and a motor drive having a fluid inlet in fluid communication with the fluid output of the thermal engine. The fluid inlet of the motor drive is downstream from the fluid output of the thermal engine. The system includes a fluid storage downstream from the motor drive and a fluid output of the motor drive. A method of cooling a motor drive includes outputting a cooling fluid from a fluid output of a thermal engine, receiving the cooling fluid from the fluid output of the thermal engine in a fluid inlet of a motor drive, passing the cooling fluid through the motor drive to a fluid output of the motor drive, receiving the cooling fluid in a fluid storage.

    Abstract: A dual-output generator includes a first generator with a rotor, a second generator with a rotor, and first and second power converters. The rotor of the first generator is coupled to the rotor of the second generator for common rotation with the rotor of the first generator. The first power converter connects electrically to the first generator for converting rotation of the first generator rotor into direct current power. The second power converter connects electrically to the second generator for converting rotation of the second generator rotor into constant frequency alternating current power.
