The present disclosure provides distributed drive systems and methods of use thereof A distributed drive system may comprise one or more coils, one or more magnets, and at least one tread. A method for a distributed drive system may comprise the utilization of a plurality of voltage phases. The coils may comprise conductive wiring wrapped in a predefined form. In some embodiments, the coils may alternate in polarity. In some implementations, the coils may be attached directly to the frame of a larger machine or vehicle for uniform heat distribution. The magnets may comprise composite materials with ferrous portions. When the system comprises at least one tread, magnets may be embedded within the tread. In some aspects, the distributed drive system may be contained within a motive system of a machine or vehicle, thereby limiting the need for a transmission between a power source and the motive components of the machine or vehicle.

A housing for an electric machine includes a cooling device arranged on the periphery of a support plate, the cooling device contacts a heat-conducting ring connected to the housing, and the support plate as well as components arranged thereon have vibration damping and an electric insulation to provide advantageous structural conditions such that an advantageous cooling effect is achieved, and regions within the cooling device can be provided for fitting elements of the support plate.

Disclosed is a design approach for intrinsically safe electromagnetic devices such as electrically actuated valves, motors, generators, or transformers intended for and capable of safe operation in explosive atmospheres or environments. The design employs a plurality of electrically insulated, intrinsically safe circuits cooperating to induce, or in the case of a generator, create a relatively large magnetic flux in the ferromagnetic core, or iron, of these devices. A method to construct such intrinsically safe devices is disclosed. These devices can be practically used in machines, mechanisms, valves, and manned or unmanned vehicles intended for safe operation in hazardous environments, for example underground coal mines or ATEX or EX classified facilities.
