  • Patent number: 11515757
    Abstract: An improved liquid cooled apparatus for transferring large torques magnetically with a primary rotary member and a secondary rotary member as is set forth in U.S. Pat. No. 7,294,947. The primary rotary member has permanent magnets, the secondary rotary member with electro-conductive materials. Both of said rotors being encased in a liquid tight casing enclosure and said rotors both being liquid cooled to allow for power transfers in excess of 260 KW and 1000 ft.lb torque.

  • Publication number: 20150155758
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an apparatus, method and system for dual speed power transfer, wherein the prime mover power generating device would run at 1200 Revolutions/Minute [RPM] with the connected driven load electrical generator running at 1800 RPM; or, an apparatus, method and system for dual speed power transfer, wherein the prime mover power generating device would run at 1800 Revolutions/Minute [RPM] with the connected driven load electrical generator running at 1800 RPM. Also to note 50 hz. Operations (1500 rpm—Generator) and reduced speed (1200 rpm or less), or other speed as could be chosen and designed.

  • Patent number: 8471422
    Abstract: An apparatus for transferring torque magnetically with a primary rotary member and a secondary rotary member, wherein said rotary members are disc shaped and are sandwiched between one another. The primary rotary member has permanent magnets mounted radially on a disc, the secondary rotary member having disc geometry with electro conductive material arranged on it. The secondary rotary member also having magnetically permeable material. The new improvements herein have modified the earlier cylindrical design to that of a an alternative disk—plate/shape design utilizing the similar magnetic circuit that which overcomes some deficiencies/problems in the prior art, in that the prior art required more precision alignment of the electro-conductive rotor inside the magnetic can array and requires additional strength in the foundations of the machinery in order to maintain the air gap between the magnet can and the rotor assembly.

  • Patent number: 7990007
    Abstract: An apparatus for transferring torque magnetically with a primary rotary member and a secondary rotary member. The primary rotary member has permanent magnets mounted circumferentially on a cylinder, the secondary rotary member having a cylindrical geometry with electroconductive material arranged on its outer periphery and parallel to the axes of the rotary members. The secondary rotary member also having magnetically permeable material. The secondary rotary member is placed partially or totally inside the primary rotating member. The secondary rotary member's axial position relative to the primary rotating member can be varied by a suitable mechanical structure. This causes the two rotary members to axially overlap one another more or less as desired.

    Abstract: An apparatus for transferring torque magnetically with a primary rotary member and a secondary rotary member. The primary rotary member has permanent magnets, the secondary rotary member with electro-conductive materials. The secondary rotary member also having magnetically permeable material. The secondary rotary member is placed partially or totally inside the primary rotating member. This causes the two rotary members to axially overlap one another more or less as desired. Rotation of the primary rotary member causes rotation of the secondary rotary member, since magnetic flux lines emanating from the permanent magnets mounted on the primary rotating member, cut through all, or part of, the electro-conductive material placed on the secondary rotary member. This can vary the torque transmitted between the two rotary members, thereby enabling the varying of the rotational speed of the secondary rotary member relative to the primary rotary member.
