    摘要: A hyper-flux flywheel motor system includes a rotor assembly and a number of permanent magnets coupled to the rotor assembly. A stator assembly is rotatably coupled to the rotor assembly and has a core, a number of teeth extending radially from the core, and one or more winding sets, each winding set comprising coils wound on the teeth to interact with the of permanent magnets. A flywheel housing including a frame, and one or more gimbals, houses a flywheel. This flywheel is disposed adjacent to the stator and rotator assembly, rotates about a spin axis, and precesses via the one or more gimbals, in response to rotation of the rotor assembly.

    摘要: Embodiments of the invention describe methods, apparatuses, and systems for enhanced vehicle stabilization solutions. Embodiments of the invention may receive sensor information from at least one sensor coupled to a vehicle having two or more wheels, the at least one sensor coupled to at least one of a wheel, a suspension component, or a frame of the vehicle. A tilt angle of the vehicle is determined from the received sensor information, the tilt angle comprising an offset angle from a reference plane for the vehicle. A controller transmits a command to one or more control moment gyroscopes (CMGs) coupled to the frame of the vehicle to produce a total angular moment based, at least in part, on the tilt angle of the vehicle.

    摘要: In embodiments of the invention, a vehicle stabilization control unit may determine a control moment value for one or more gyroscopes coupled to a vehicle frame to exert for stabilization of the vehicle frame. A number of input axes for the flywheels of the one or more gyroscopes to precess may be increased in order to generate the determined control moment value. In some embodiments, the one or more gyroscopes are further coupled to a turntable, and increasing the number of input axes for the flywheels comprises rotating the turntable. Furthermore, in some embodiments, the one or more gyroscopes comprise at least two gyroscopes coupled inline to the vehicle frame (e.g., aligned lengthwise with respect to the front and rear wheel to spin and precess in opposite directions with respect to each other).

    摘要: Embodiments of the invention describe receiving, via a plurality of sensors, data indicating vehicle information. Said information may indicate at least orientation of a frame of a vehicle, orientation of a front wheel of the vehicle with respect to the frame, orientation and rotational speed of a first and second flywheel, and speed of the vehicle. In one embodiment, each flywheel is included in a first and second gyroscope coupled to the vehicle frame.Based, at least in part, on the data received from the plurality of sensors, at least one of the orientation and rotational speed of at least one of the flywheels may be adjusted. Said adjustment may further be based on an input to change at least one of speed and direction of the vehicle.

    摘要: A drive-by-wire steering system on a vehicle requiring counter-steering includes a driver input mechanism, for example, a steering wheel, joystick, voice command receiver, or keyboard, and a control system. A sensor receives driver input and sends that information to the control system. An engagement mechanism, for example, a clutch, separates the driver input mechanism from controlling the vehicle. The control system further includes at least one actuator, a wheel, and a mechanical linkage controllable via the engagement mechanism in order for the control system to articulate a steering mechanism, for example, the front wheel of the vehicle, as appropriate.

    摘要: Embodiments of the invention may include various components for cooling the heat generating components of a vehicle. For example, one component may be a radiator core or heat sink disposed near the bottom of the vehicle to absorb heat from the various components. In another example, cooling liquid is routed via liquid routing means to the various components for cooling (and also to the above described heat sink/radiator core, if applicable). Said liquid may be routed from the main chassis from a reservoir system within the vehicle, possibly delivered via power delivery wires. Furthermore, embodiments of the invention may utilize said circulating liquid to distribute heat generated by the heat sources of the system to one or more heat sinks of the system (e.g., a cabin heating subsystem).
