Patent number: 11965509Abstract: An internal gear pump or motor includes inner and outer rotors that mesh together. An internal electric motor or generator may include a stator supported by a support element that passes through bearings of the outer rotor and the inner rotor may act as a rotor of the electric motor or generator. With or without the stator, the support element may support bearings of the inner rotor. The support element may be, for example, an eccentric shaft. Fluids may be supplied via the support element, if present, for cooling, lubrication or to flush a working fluid out of portions of the pump or motor, such as bearings. Flushing may also occur via channels in the housing with or without the presence of the support element. Axial faces of one of a pair of adjacent elements, for example the inner rotor and the outer rotor, may include portions for improved axial sealing and wearing in of the other of the pair. Fluid may enter and exit chambers between the inner and outer rotors by radial ports.Type: GrantFiled: September 16, 2022Date of Patent: April 23, 2024Assignee: Genesis Advanced Technology Inc.Inventors: James Brent Klassen, Alexander Korolev

Patent number: 11566687Abstract: A torque transfer device has plural planets arranged for planetary rotation about one or more sun gears and within one or more ring gears. Each planet includes at least one planetary gear set comprising plural planetary gears connected to rotate together, but having a different diameter to form a differential gear system. To improve load sharing, the plural planetary gears of each planetary gear set may have a different helical angle, the plural planetary gear sets being axially movable with respect to one another. Alternatively or in addition, the planetary gears may be made flexible with respect to radial forces.Type: GrantFiled: October 13, 2020Date of Patent: January 31, 2023Assignee: Genesis Advanced Technology Inc.Inventors: James Brent Klassen, Richard Bos

Patent number: 11549507Abstract: A displacement device including an inner rotor and an outer rotor with meshing projections. Points on each rotor trace a hypotrochoidal path relative to the other. The tips of the outer rotor projections may contact the inner rotor at Top Dead Center (TDC) and Bottom Dead Center (BDC) to form higher and lower pressure regions. Various elements may shape other elements to form seals.Type: GrantFiled: October 22, 2021Date of Patent: January 10, 2023Assignee: Genesis Advanced Technology Inc.Inventors: James Brent Klassen, Alexander Sean Li, Arthi Muniyappan, Benjamin McGhie, Justin Michael Hebert, Javier Peter Fernandez-Han, Timothy Davis Burson

Patent number: 11411486Abstract: A planetary gearbox with two rows of planets, at least some of the planets including magnets. The planets are driven by a stator to drive the gearbox as a motor. The planets may be geared with axial portions with different helix angle to position the gears and avoid the need for a planet carrier or bearings. Gears with small heights and/or high pressure angles may be used to avoiding or reduce negative effects of conventional gearing.Type: GrantFiled: October 2, 2018Date of Patent: August 9, 2022Assignee: Genesis Advanced Technology Inc.Inventor: James Brent Klassen

Patent number: 11168762Abstract: A planetary gearbox with two rows of planets between an inner race and a coaxial outer race. An input gear may also mesh with the inner planets or the outer planets. To avoid unmeshing of the gears due to twisting from the applied torque, a camming effect may be used in which applied torque generates a radial preload. The gears that mesh with the input gear may do so at portions of the gears that also mesh with a corresponding one of the inner or outer race. The planets may be geared with axial portions with different helix angle. The inner race or outer race may be formed of two components geared with different helix angle to mesh with the different axial portions of the planets. By using these different components, assembly is eased as the components can be slid onto the planets axially.Type: GrantFiled: November 8, 2018Date of Patent: November 9, 2021Assignee: Genesis Advanced Technology Inc.Inventors: James Brent Klassen, Richard Bos

Patent number: 11156274Abstract: A high speed ratio drive system is formed of planet rollers, each having varying diameter, an outer fixed ring in contact with one diameter of the planet rollers, and an outer drive ring in contact with another diameter of the planet rollers. An inner drive element is provided by a sun drive roller in contact with the planet rollers or by a planet carrier. Preferably the system has an axial reflective symmetry minimizing twisting forces on the planet rollers.Type: GrantFiled: December 4, 2018Date of Patent: October 26, 2021Assignee: Genesis Advanced Technology Inc.Inventor: James Brent Klassen

Patent number: 11067076Abstract: In a rotor in rotor configuration, a pump has inward projections on an outer rotor and outward projections on an inner rotor. The outer rotor is driven and the projections mesh to create variable volume chambers. The outer rotor may be driven in both directions. In each direction, the driving part (first inward projection) of the outer rotor contacts a sealing surface on one side of an outward projection of the inner rotor, while a gap is left between a sealing surface of the other side of the outward projection and a second inward projection. The gap may have uniform width along its length in the radial direction, while in a direction parallel to the rotor axis it may be discontinuous or have variable size to create flow paths for gases.Type: GrantFiled: September 10, 2018Date of Patent: July 20, 2021Assignee: GENESIS ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY INC.Inventor: James Klassen

Patent number: 10738615Abstract: A piston is arranged to move in a cylinder to define a variable volume chamber, and can expand in two directions under the influence of pressure in the variable volume chamber to provide sealing against the cylinder. The piston can comprise a primary foot and a secondary foot arranged to move relative to each other in a first direction. The primary foot and the secondary foot can each comprise plural segments arranged to move relative to each other in a second direction. The piston may be suitable for use in an inner rotor, where it forms the end of a projection of the inner rotor and fully exits and reenters the cylinders.Type: GrantFiled: July 10, 2019Date of Patent: August 11, 2020Assignee: Genesis Advanced Technology Inc.Inventor: James Brent Klassen

Patent number: 10284117Abstract: A power conversion device has a buckled wave disk that has an axis and is radially compressed between a hub and a wave ring. The buckled wave disk is buckled in the radial direction to form circumferential waves which are displaced in the axial direction and extending around the buckled wave disk with lines formed of inflection points of the circumferential waves extending between the hub and wave ring. The wave ring is outwardly radially displaced at nodes corresponding to lines formed of inflection points of the circumferential waves. A wave propagation actuator cooperates with the buckled wave disk for driving a wave and the lines formed of inflection points of the circumferential waves around the buckled wave disk. An outer ring surrounds the wave ring, the outer ring being driven by or driving the wave ring at the nodes. A method of making a wave disk is provided.Type: GrantFiled: May 5, 2015Date of Patent: May 7, 2019Assignee: Genesis Advanced Technology Inc.Inventor: James Brent Klassen
