  • Publication number: 20220368187
    Abstract: There is provided a winding system for use in an electrical, electronic or electromagnetic device or component including: one or more set of windings, each set of windings including an electrically-conductive element arranged in a winding pattern with multiple turns, at least one pair of adjacent turns of the multiple turns being spaced apart to provide at least one channel therebetween for coolant fluid to flow therethrough; and a housing for housing the set of windings, the housing including a fluid inlet and a fluid outlet each in fluid communication with the at least one channel, the housing facilitating coolant fluid to flow from the fluid inlet to the fluid outlet, via the at least one channel in direct contact with exposed surfaces of the set of windings, the exposed surfaces at least partially defining the at least one channel.

  • Publication number: 20180212490
    Abstract: An electromagnetic device is presented. The device includes a stator, a gap comprising multiple gap regions, and a rotor arranged in the gap to move relative to the stator. One of the stator and the rotor comprises a conductor array having one or more conductors each configured to carry current in a respective current flow direction. The other of the stator and the rotor comprises a flux directing assembly having multiple flux directing sections, each arranged adjacent to at least one other flux directing section and each configured to facilitate a circulating magnetic flux path about the respective flux directing section. Each pair of adjacent flux directing sections are arranged about a common gap region of the multiple gap regions and configured to direct at least part of the respective circulating magnetic flux paths across the common gap region in a substantially similar flux direction substantially perpendicular to the current flow direction.
