Patent number: 9254740Abstract: A drivetrain for a hybrid-electric vehicle (200), including an engine (210), a first electrical machine (220), a second electrical machine (230), and at least one driveshaft (260). The first (220) and second (230) electrical machines are axial-flux electrical machines. The first electrical machine (220) is arranged to be driven by the engine (210) so as to operate as a generator and to supply electrical power for the second electrical machine (230). The second electrical machine (230) is arranged to receive electrical power so as to operate as a motor and to drive the at least one driveshaft (260). The drivetrain includes a clutch (225) selectively operable to provide inter-engagement between the rotor of the first electrical machine (220) and the rotor of the second electrical machine (230) to transmit rotary power therebetween.Type: GrantFiled: November 10, 2008Date of Patent: February 9, 2016Assignee: EVO Electric, Ltd.Inventor: Michael Ulrich Lamperth

Patent number: 8624456Abstract: A rotor (300) for an axial-flux electrical machine is disclosed. The rotor has a plurality of permanent magnets (350) fixed thereto, with each of the plurality of magnets extending at least partly through an aperture in the rotor. The arrangement is such that material of the rotor (200) abuts each magnet (350) so as to locate the magnet substantially circumferentially with respect to the axis of rotation of the rotor and substantially axially in at least one axial direction. The magnets (350) may slide radially onto the rotor (300) and be constrained axially and circumferentially by a tongue-and-groove arrangement (325, 355), with reinforced tape (340) being wound around the radially outer edge thereof to provide radial constraint.Type: GrantFiled: January 7, 2009Date of Patent: January 7, 2014Assignee: EVO Electric LimitedInventors: Michael Ulrich Lamperth, Malte Jaensch

Patent number: 8022593Abstract: An axial flux electrical machine is provided. The machine includes a plurality of rotors, each sandwiched between a respective pair of stator parts. The plurality of rotors, together with their respective stators, are axially-stacked to form a multistage machine. Heat exchangers are provided adjacent each stator to provide cooling. Each rotor disc is a composite rotor disc in which permanent magnets are embedded. The magnets are embedded in apertures through each disc so that surfaces of the magnets are flush with surfaces of the respective rotor disc.Type: GrantFiled: January 6, 2009Date of Patent: September 20, 2011Assignee: Evo Electric Ltd.Inventors: Michael Ulrich Lamperth, Peethamparam Anpalahan

Patent number: 8008817Abstract: A hybrid-electric vehicle is provided having a respective electrical machine in each wheel thereof. Each electrical machine is of the axial-flux type, having a rotor sandwiched axially between two parts of a stator. Each electrical machine is fitted to the respective wheel such that the rotor takes the place of a disc of a disc brake system, and the stator is mounted in place of a calliper of the disc brake system.Type: GrantFiled: January 6, 2009Date of Patent: August 30, 2011Assignee: EVO Electric Ltd.Inventor: Michael Ulrich Lamperth
