Disclosed is an electric motor, in particular for a vehicle drive. In one example, the electric motor has a housing (12) and a rotor shaft (14) which is accommodated in the housing (12) such that it can rotate via bearings (16). The housing (12) and the rotor shaft (14) are electrically connected to one another via a singular electrically conductive contact ring (42) to ground the rotor shaft (14).

The present disclosure relates to a drive unit (1) with a housing (2) and an electric motor (3) arranged therein. A transmission (8) is coupled to the electric motor (3). At least one oil chamber (15) is arranged in the housing (2), the oil chamber(s) having an oil zone (21) and an air zone (22), where the air zone (22) is flow-connected by way of an inlet opening (36) to a venting channel (35) that leads to a vent (32) such that the inlet opening (36) is arranged in a central area (40) of the housing (2) of the drive unit (1).

The invention relates to an energy and power generation system and process, especially self-powered motor and generator/alternator set-up. The system has at least one upsized drive shaft adapted as one of the main elements thereof including an upsized main body of non-typical size having substantially and proportionately enlarged diameter and/or length based on typical standard drive shaft sizes normally and correspondingly adapted for power generation systems or devices of commensurate capacity ratings, preferably motor-generator systems, generators or alternators, or electric motors. When in inertial rotation, the upsized shaft inertially produces/generates and adds input power/energy to the subsequent electrical input power/energy derived from the motor resulting in an overall input power/energy that is efficiently converted/transformed by the generator/alternator into electrical output power/energy that is greater than the electrical input power/energy supplied to the motor. The excess useful electrical output power/energy is used for other loads and/or charging/recharging a power source or battery pack that is used to initially start up the motor.

A motor (100) includes a stator (6) having a plurality of tooth portions (7), a coil (9) wound around the tooth portions (7), and a slot (8) in which the coil (9) is formed between the tooth portions (7), in which the coil (9) is provided in the slot (8), and a cooling structure for the motor (100) includes a first resin composition with which the slot (8) is filled and which covers the coil (9), and a coil inner side cooling flow path (10) which is provided in a region filled with the first resin composition and extends in a rotating shaft direction, and in which a coolant circulates inside.
