  • Publication number: 20230179039
    Abstract: A permanent magnet electrical machine is provided including a rotor body and a plurality of permanent magnet modules arranged around a rotational axis of the permanent magnet electrical machine, each permanent magnet module including at least a permanent magnet and a baseplate, the baseplate including a base side for attaching the permanent magnet module to the rotor body of the permanent magnet machine and an opposite top side for attaching the permanent magnet to the baseplate. The rotor body includes at least a cavity housing a non-magnetic and/or non-conductive medium for creating a magnetic flux barrier between the rotor body and the permanent magnet module. The baseplate may include a protrusion. The protrusion may be shaped as a dovetail. One or elastomeric inserts may be provided between the baseplate and the rotor body.

  • Patent number: 11255019
    Abstract: Photocatalytic device to dissociate an aqueous phase to product hydrogen gas, said device being set up in such a way that at least one photocatalytic system in contact with said aqueous phase can be irradiated by a light source to produce—through an oxidation reaction in said aqueous phase—oxygen gas, electrons and protons at a means of electron capture, said device comprising: a first zone comprising said aqueous phase, and a means for reducing said protons set up to carry out a reduction reaction on said protons by said electrons in order to generate hydrogen gas. said device being characterised in that said means for proton reduction is a proton exchange interface with a front side facing said means of electron capture, and a back side, with only said back side of said proton exchange interface bearing at least one catalyst and/or at least one catalytic system.
