Abstract:
A rotor core comprises a round rotor main body forming a rotor and salient poles provided along the periphery of the main body. The rotor core is constituted by forming unit rotors spaced at salient pole intervals such that a prescribed number of salient poles are removed from all the salient poles, by winding wires on salient poles of the unit rotors which are separated, and by combining the unit rotors with the cores mutually shifted at prescribed angle to assemble them into a rotor core.
Abstract:
A distributed air gap material for an induction device in power systems for minimizing fringe losses, mechanical losses, vibration and noise in the core. The distributed air gap material occupies a selected portion of the core and is formed of a finely divided magnetic material in a matrix of a dielectric material. The air gap material has a zone of transition in which the magnetic permeability values vary within the air gap material.
Abstract:
Proportional control of the output of an alternator achieved mechanically to change the reluctance of the magnetic path between the stator and the rotor and thereby change the electrical output of the alternator.
Abstract:
The respective square cross section permanent magnets of each of a plurality of spaced Halbach magnet arrays (504-1, 504-2, 504-3, 504-4), attached to the bottom of movable X-Y stage and aligned with a given one of the X and Y axes, are spaced from one another parallel to the other one of the X and Y axes by the width of the square cross section cooperates with both a first set of a plurality of flat stationary electromagnet coils of wire (500) and a second set of a plurality of flat stationary electromagnet coils of wire (502) that substantially lie in proximate horizontal X, Y planes and, respectively, are angularly offset by +45° and -45° with respect to the given one of the X and Y horizontal axes to provide a lateral translational force on the stage with respect to the horizontal X and/or Y axes and/or a levitating translational force on the stage with respect to the vertical Z axis.
Abstract:
Embodiments are disclosed comprising an electromechanical device that generates hydrogen from mechanical energy without requiring an external source of electrical energy. In one embodiment, for example, the only external energy required is rotational energy and the necessary electrical energy for electrolytic dissociation of water is generated internally to the device. Various aspects of embodiments of the invention provide enhanced efficiency for generating hydrogen. Details of various embodiments are further described herein.
Abstract:
A magnetic linear actuator includes a rotor, a first end cap, a second end cap, a translator, and a guide rod. The rotor includes a first helical array of magnets. The first end cap disposed at a first end of the rotor. The second end cap is disposed at a second end of the rotor. The second end is opposite the first end. The translator is disposed within the rotor, and includes a second helical array of magnets. The guide rod passes through the translator and includes a first end that engages the first end cap, and a second end the engages the second end cap.
Abstract:
An electrical machine, which may be a motor and/or a generator has a rotor mounted to rotate about an axis. A plurality of magnetic poles are spaced circumferentially around the rotor in the bore. The rotor comprises a shell shaped to provide a toroidal bore centered on the axis. A slit extends circumferentially around the rotor. The slit penetrates through the shell into the bore. The electrical machine also includes a stator that is supported in the bore by one or more supports extending through the slit of the rotor. The stator carries plural windings that are spaced apart around the bore.
