Patents by Inventor Barnaby James Gerard Lewis

Barnaby James Gerard Lewis has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Publication number: 20240006943
    Abstract: An electric motor comprises: a stator; and a rotor comprising: a rotor body; and a centrifugal pump to flow a fluid in a channel extending axially through the rotor body from end to end. The channel can extend through a magnet hole in the rotor body. The channel can be formed in a hole of the rotor body that does not contain a magnet. The electric motor can include first and second end plates forming the centrifugal pump. The first and second end plates can be clocked with each other. The first and second end plates can be non-clocked with each other.

  • Patent number: 11535097
    Abstract: An electric motor cooling system is provided that utilizes stator-integrated axial coolant channels and a coolant manifold centrally located within the stator to efficiently remove motor assembly heat. In order to increase the velocity of the coolant exiting the axial coolant channels, thereby improving end winding cooling uniformity, end laminations are integrated into the stator which restrict the flow of coolant from the axial coolant channels.

  • Patent number: 11462957
    Abstract: An electric motor cooling system is provided that utilizes stator-integrated axial coolant channels and a coolant manifold centrally located within the stator to efficiently remove motor assembly heat. In order to improve end winding cooling uniformity, two or more end laminations are included on either end of the stator assembly which restrict and direct the flow of coolant exiting the axial coolant channels.

  • Patent number: 11462958
    Abstract: An electric motor cooling system is provided that utilizes stator-integrated axial coolant channels and a coolant manifold centrally located within the stator to efficiently remove motor assembly heat. The coolant manifold includes a middle member that allows coolant to enter the axial coolant channels via transition laminations, where the transition laminations include coolant distribution channels that direct the flow of coolant entering into the manifold into the stator-integrated axial coolant channels.
