  • Publication number: 20240283314
    Abstract: An axial flux electrical machine, such as an electric motor, dynamo, pump, generator, or alternator has a casing with vents or openings enabling cooling or pumped media to flow into and out of the casing when the rotor of the electrical machine rotates. The stator is formed from conductive elements connected at their axial outer regions by interconnecting members. Conductive elements have a gap or space to direct cooling through the winding to the central region. Each conductive element has legs bent in opposing directions relative to the starting plane of the conductor closest to the central axis then the second leg is bent back in the direction of the first. A portion of the windings of the stator are spaced apart to allow media to flow between the windings to the central axis area and then is allowed flow outward between the rotor and the stator.
