  • Patent number: 12249898
    Abstract: A coolant supply system for a drive device of an electrically operated vehicle axle with an electric machine which has a cylindrical stator housing, in which there is a winding head space axially on both sides of a rotor/stator arrangement, at the bottom of which coolant collects. The two winding head spaces are fluidly connected to one another via a coolant sump, and the stator housing height and the coolant sump height in the electric machine vertical direction add up to a total height. In order to reduce the total height, the coolant sump is offset by a transverse offset from a rotor axis vertical plane. In this way, the stator housing height and the coolant sump height can at least partially overlap in the vertical direction of the electric machine by an overlap amount.

  • Patent number: 11515771
    Abstract: A reluctance motor has salient teeth on both the stator and the rotor. The reluctance motor includes electrical coils that are usable to generate magnetic flux to drive rotation of the rotor. Concentrated coil windings are wound around each stator tooth. The electrical coils are arranged across all the stator teeth of the reluctance motor to enable the reluctance motor to be driven by alternating current. The electrical coils are arranged so that, when excited with alternating current, the number of magnetic half-poles is equal to the number of teeth on the rotor. The reluctance machine can operate using an inverter instead of an asymmetric bridge.

  • Patent number: 11462348
    Abstract: This invention entails the use of fractal shapes as cores for electromagnets, and a concurrent shape of a fractal for the windings which surround it. The novelty of this invention lies not only with the shaping, but the advantage of such shaping, which includes producing a smaller form factor electromagnet for the same desired magnetic field strength, when compared to a conventional electromagnet. It will be appreciated that a range of devices including electromagnets, based on such fractal shaping, are additionally novel and include but are not limited to solenoid switches, relays, and other devices in which the fractal electromagnets are used to make a change in state of some device.
