    Abstract: A bearing 100 is provided between an outermost peripheral portion and an innermost peripheral portion of a flywheel 110. The bearing 100 includes a bearing rotor 120 firmly fixed to rotate integrally with the flywheel 110, and a bearing stator 130 provided inside the bearing rotor 120 in a fixed state, and includes a radially outer side magnet 121 and a radially inner side magnet 131 with the same magnetic pole on the bearing rotor 120 and the bearing stator 130 at positions facing each other. Accordingly, the bearing rotor 120 rotates at a position close to a rotating shaft 1, so that the rotation of the bearing rotor 120 and the flywheel 110 rotating with the bearing rotor 120 is stabilized, and the bearing 100 is compactly disposed at a position inside the outermost peripheral portion of the flywheel 110, thereby being capable of downsizing the device.

    Abstract: A bearing device includes: a magnetic ring fixed to an inner ring; and a stator fixed to an outer ring so as to face magnetic ring. Magnetic ring and stator constitute a claw pole type generator. Stator includes a coil and a magnetic yoke surrounding coil. The magnetic yoke is configured by combining a first member and a second member that are magnetic bodies. First member and second member have an identical shape. Each of first member and second member has a plurality of second claws arranged in a comb shape. A plurality of first claws of first member and the plurality of second claws of second member are alternately arranged on a surface facing magnetic ring.

    Abstract: Provided is an electric stabiliser for stabilising a floating structure that includes a track for guiding a mover as a moving stabiliser mass. A direct current (DC) linear motor includes a planar stator that extends along the track and the mover that is adapted to move forwards and backwards along the track as the stabiliser mass. The planar stator includes a polyphase stator winding with winding coils connected. The mover includes permanent motor magnets facing the polyphase stator winding that define mover poles of alternating polarity along the track direction. Two active magnetic bearings is positioned between the track and a main body of the mover for selectively levitating the mover. In use, the active magnetic bearings levitate the mover above the track and the DC linear motor is controlled to move the mover backwards and forwards along the track to dampen a rolling/pitching movement of the floating structure.

    Abstract: A tumbler-type vehicle-mounted flywheel energy storage device with five-degree-of-freedom magnetic suspension support for an electric vehicle is provided. A flywheel is formed into a bowl by a metal flywheel rotor and a composite material ring by interference fit. The metal flywheel rotor comprises an upper-section ring, a mid-section hollow hemisphere, and a lower-section ring. The composite material ring is closely fitted outside the upper-section ring to form a bowl-shaped bowl opening part. An annular axial thrust disc protrudes inward in a radial direction from an inner wall on a bottom end of the upper-section ring. An area above the axial thrust disc is a bowl opening empty slot layer, and an area below the axial thrust disc is a sphere empty slot layer and a bowl bottom empty slot layer in sequence, which form an inner cavity of the flywheel. A supporting frame is fitted in an inner stator.

    Abstract: A power conversion device includes a converter circuit, an inverter circuit including a switching element, a first capacitor, a buffer circuit, and a current supply circuit. The converter circuit converts a first alternating current into a direct current, and outputs the direct current to a pair of wires. The inverter circuit converts the direct current into a second alternating current by a switching operation of the switching element, and supplies the second alternating current to drive coils of a motor so that a drive shaft is rotationally driven. The first capacitor and the buffer circuit are connected between the pair of wires. The buffer circuit includes a second capacitor and a regulator connected in series. The current supply circuit supplies a current to support coils using energy stored in the second capacitor so that a load of the drive shaft is supported in a non contact manner.
