Patent number: 11502569Abstract: An electric machine for converting between electrical and rotary mechanical energy includes a rotor journaled to rotate about an axis of rotation, and a stationary stator mounted adjacent to the rotor. The stator has a ferromagnetic backiron with a surface facing the rotor across a magnetic airgap and having windings applied in a winding pattern formed directly onto the stator backiron and adhered to its surface with a pre-applied tacky adhesive.

The rotor has permanent magnets that generate magnetic flux across the airgap and through the windings. The windings are comprised of pre-bundled multiple individually insulated conductor strands that are electrically connected in parallel but are electrically insulated from each other along their lengths inside said magnetic armature airgap.Type: GrantFiled: August 10, 2020Date of Patent: November 15, 2022Inventors: Christopher W.

Patent number: 11486443Abstract: An axial-flux generator for fluid turbines has a continuously variable generator that is constructed of a pair of rotors that move radially across a stator resulting in varying torque and varying power output. In one embodiment the rotors are normally held proximal to the center of a stator by spring tension. The stator is larger than the normally held position of the rotors. As the angular velocity of the rotors increases, the rotors move radially toward the perimeter of the stator, thus encountering a greater stator surface area providing increased torque, increased power generation and a higher-rated output speed when used with a fluid turbine.Type: GrantFiled: April 13, 2021Date of Patent: November 1, 2022Inventor: Robert Lothar Monteith
