Abstract: A flywheel energy storage device has a central shaft, a flywheel having a flywheel rotor supported by and mounted for rotation around said shaft, and a motor/generator having a stator and a rotor. The rotor is formed integrally with the flywheel rotor. The stator has an outer cylinder that is cooled by a liquid flowing in contact with its cylindrical surface. Preferably, the stator has (i) a cylindrical hub having an outer surface and longitudinal channels formed therein, (ii) a cylinder surrounding said cylindrical hub thereby providing passages through the channels, and (iii) end caps sealing the passages and providing a distribution channel for distributing fluid to said passages, thereby providing fluid cooling passages for said stator. A radial vibration dampener can be positioned at one or both ends of the shaft. The dampener has a plurality of spring members positioned between two cylindrical surfaces, one end of each spring member being attached to each cylindrical surface.

Abstract: An induction motor includes a stator defining stator inner and outer diameters extending about a longitudinal axis, the stator includes a plurality of windings extending longitudinally and circumferentially about the longitudinal axis between the stator inner diameter and the outer diameter and passing an electric current therethrough to create a magnetic field, a rotor extends along the longitudinal axis having a rotor length and a rotor outer diameter less than the stator inner diameter, the rotor being rotatable about the longitudinal axis relative to the stator, the rotor includes at least one electrically conductive bar having a radial outer end and an inner end, the outer end having a notch, the at least one electrically conductive bar extending parallel to the longitudinal axis adjacent the rotor outer diameter for receiving an induced current due to the magnetic field.
