  • Patent number: 10491069
    Abstract: An electric machine employs laminated sheets windings (LSWs) and permanent magnets which rotate about the LSWs. A ‘radial’ embodiment employs magnets which are magnetized radially and LSWs laid parallel to the rotation axis. An ‘axial’ embodiment uses axially magnetized magnets with LSWs laid radially in the plane of the motor. The magnets may be arranged as Halbach arrays. Magnets and LSWs are arranged concentrically with an air gap therebetween; the motor may employ “Large Air Gap Electric Ring” (LAGER) technology. The laminated sheets form a continuous stack of series-connected concentric metal layers; dielectric layers insulate each metal layer from its adjacent layers. Cuts arranged periodically around each LSW run parallel to the rotation axis and extend through all of the metal layers, with adjacent cuts originating on opposite sides of the LSW such that they form a serpentine path for current to flow as it flows around the winding.

  • Patent number: 10476333
    Abstract: A graphene power generating system is connected to a rotating shaft or driving shafts of the vehicles or other moving objects. Those shafts are mainly wasting energy, that wasting energy is re collectable by this Nano-graphene alternator or generators when rotating the shafts. New alternator or generator replaced copper wire by super conductive and ultra-strong lightest material of the graphene wire for producing high electrical power, and reducing sizes, weight, and sound pollutions. Even the housing and shaft of the steel replaced by newly discovered material of Giga steel, carbon steel, or titanium which is lighter, stronger, and cheaper. Therefore, it can reduce size and weight by about 70%, which creates higher economic benefits as well as multi-purpose of electrical power generating applications.
