Abstract: An electrical sheet includes an electrical sheet main body produced by additive manufacturing (a 3D screen printing method) from at least a first and a second material. The first and second materials have magnetic properties which differ from one another, and first and second domains are formed in the electrical sheet main body from the first and second materials respectively. An electric machine is also provided. An electric machine and a method for producing an electrical sheet for use in a stator or rotor of an electric machine are also provided.

Abstract: An electric machine includes a conductor structure having at least one metallic conductor element made from at least one of aluminum, copper, and silver having a monocrystalline or columnar crystal structure. The conductor structure may be formed from a plurality of individual flat conductor elements integrally bonded together by welding or soldering to form a winding. The metallic conductor element may be cut from an aluminum, copper, or silver bar having a monocrystalline or columnar crystal structure. A wafer having a plurality of conductor elements may be cut from a bar with the conductor elements separated from the wafer.

Abstract: A balance assembly for an engine is provided. The balance assembly includes a first electric motor coupled to the engine and configured to rotate a first eccentric mass relative to the engine, the first eccentric mass being coupled to a first shaft of the first electric motor, and a second electric motor coupled to the engine and configured to rotate a second eccentric mass relative to the engine, the second eccentric mass being coupled to a second shaft of the second electric motor. The first and second electric motors are configured to rotate the first and second eccentric masses in order to balance a vibration characteristic of the engine.
