Patent number: 11936253Abstract: A system can include an axial field rotary energy device with an axis of rotation and a rotor coaxial with the axis and having a shaft, bearings, rotor disks that are coaxial and permanent magnets on each rotor disk. A printed circuit board (PCB) stator is located between the rotor disks to define an air gap on each side of the PCB stator. An enclosure has two enclosure sections with an inspection port. Bearing caps and bearings are mounted to the rotor. A variable frequency drive (VFD) assembly is coupled to the axial field rotary energy device. The VFD has a flexible conduit that extends between the VFD housing and the axial field rotary energy device. The flexible conduit can adapt to different sizes of axial field rotary energy devices.Type: GrantFiled: September 27, 2023Date of Patent: March 19, 2024Assignee: INFINITUM ELECTRIC INC.Inventors: Paulo Guedes-Pinto, Shriram Pushparaj Patil, John Mitchell Wilson, Randal A.
