  • Publication number: 20250246968
    Abstract: A rotational slip ring assembly for an improved counter-rotating (CR) differential electric motor assembly is utilized to power an aircraft vehicle or fan for moving a gas and includes two oppositely rotating propellers that may be mounted to horizontal flight and vertical lift-off aircraft or a fan housing in spaces similar in size to mounting spaces for traditional motors having only one propeller and includes a hollow central shaft and slip ring assembly that is mounted either within, slight above, or total above oppositely rotating components and around the hollow central shaft.

  • Patent number: 11942739
    Abstract: A high current and RPM-capable slip ring assembly for use in a selected application for transferring electricity between an exterior environment and an interior environment that includes a non-rotating electrical power member with concentric electrically conducting power transmission cylinders with wiring and a rotating electrical power member with concentric electrically conducting power transmission cylinders with wiring and a housing that surrounds both the non-rotating electrical power member and rotating electrical power member to align the first set of concentric electrically conducting power transmission cylinders and the second set of concentric electrically conducting power transmission cylinders to slide on paired inside and outside surfaces during rotationally operation of the slip ring assembly.
