Abstract: An electric field-reducing insulating layer is described for an inductive coil. In some examples, a first coil having at least one first winding is arranged for being driven at a first voltage. A solid insulating layer is adjacent the first coil and has a first surface facing the first coil. The first surface of the solid insulating layer has a first groove between the first winding and the insulating layer, having a width that is smaller than a diameter of the electrical wire. The first groove forms a pocket between the first winding and the solid insulating layer.

Abstract: An integrated electromagnetic energy conversions device is provided that includes a synchronous or brushless linear (SoBL) motor, and a transformer, where the transformer is integrated electromagnetically and topologically with the SoBL motor, where an electromagnetic field orientation of the transformer is perpendicular to an electromagnetic field orientation of the SoBL motor, where a magnetic-field decoupling between the SoBL motor and the transformer is provided and a position independent magnetic coupling of the transformer is provided, where the integrated SoBL motor and the transformer operate simultaneously in a motor and transformer mode.

Abstract: The invention concerns a floor suitable for generating, converting and/or storing energy, wherein this energy can be generated, converted and/or stored by placing and/or displacing mass thereon, wherein the floor can comprise discrete modules (2), each with an own energy generation system. The discrete modules (2) are couplable in different configurations and form a floor which may or may not be continuous.
