Publication number: 20220389831Abstract: An impeller is configured to be rotated by a flowing fluid. A fluid stator includes a fixed ring parallel to a plane of rotation of the impeller. The fixed ring has a center in-line with a center of rotation of the impeller. A rotatable ring is rotatable relative to, and parallel to, the fixed ring. The rotatable ring has a center in-line with a center of rotation of the impeller. Stator vanes extend between the fixed ring and the rotatable ring. The stator vanes define an inlet cross sectional area upstream of the impeller. The cross sectional area is dependent upon a relative position of the fixed ring and the rotatable ring. An actuator is configured to rotate the rotatable ring. An electric rotor is coupled to, and configured to rotate in unison with, the impeller. An electric stator encircles the electric rotor. The electric stator includes coil windings.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 8, 2021Publication date: December 8, 2022Inventors: Jeremy Liu, Archie A.T. Andonian, Freddie Sarhan, John Stout, James Ryan Yates

Patent number: 11081919Abstract: A rotor for an electric machine has a permanent magnet carrier that defines a plurality of permanent magnet receptacles. A plurality of permanent magnets are received in the receptacles. The magnets are arranged to define at least two magnetic poles of the rotor. A metallic shield surrounds an outward facing surface of the permanent magnets to shield the magnets from high frequency magnetic fields that would cause eddy currents, and thus magnet heating. The metallic shield is constructed from a metallic foil. A carbon fiber retaining sleeve surrounds an outward facing surface of the metallic shield. The carbon fiber sleeve is configured to retain the magnets to the permanent magnet carrier during operation of the electric machine. The permanent magnet carrier is interference fit over a rotor core.Type: GrantFiled: April 27, 2017Date of Patent: August 3, 2021Assignee: Calnetix Technologies, LLCInventors: Archie A. T. Andonian, Patrick McMullen

Patent number: 11081918Abstract: A rotor for an electric machine includes a central hub with a cylindrical outer surface. A plurality of elongate spacers are affixed to the central hub at its outer surface. The spacers are circumferentially spaced apart from each other and extend axially along the outer surface of the central hub. A plurality of permanent magnets reside on the outer surface between the spacers. The magnets define at least two magnetic poles of the rotor. A metallic shield surrounds an outward facing surface of the permanent magnets and spacers to shield the magnets from high frequency magnetic fields that would cause eddy currents, and thus magnet heating. The metallic shield includes a metallic foil. A carbon fiber retaining sleeve surrounds an outward facing surface of the metallic shield. The carbon fiber sleeve is configured to retain the magnets to the central hub during operation of the electric machine.Type: GrantFiled: April 27, 2017Date of Patent: August 3, 2021Assignee: Calnetix Technologies, LLCInventors: Archie A.

Patent number: 9203269Abstract: The present specification describes systems, methods, and apparatuses for bonding core laminations for electric machines (e.g., stators, actuators, sensors, etc.) using fluoropolymer films. A first metallic lamination can be aligned together with a second metallic lamination with a fluoropolymer in-between. The first and the second metallic laminations can be bonded together with the fluoropolymer. The first and second metallic laminations can be aligned with the fluoropolymer in-between below the melting temperature of the fluoropolymer. The first metallic stator lamination can be clamped to the second metallic stator lamination to fix the relative position. Thereafter, the temperature of the fluoropolymer can be increased above the melting temperature for bonding the first and the second metallic stator laminations.Type: GrantFiled: August 31, 2012Date of Patent: December 1, 2015Assignee: Calnetix Technologies, LLCInventor: Archie A.
