A wave energy thermal storage type seawater thermoelectric power generation device which comprises a buoy-type energy capture system, a platform system and a mooring system. A whole friction liquid heating, thermal storage and power generation device is arranged inside a platform, which improves the adaptability of the whole system to the external environment. A flywheel and liquid friction heating method is adopted to generate heat more efficiently. Inner ratchets and pawls are used to control the movement of a flywheel so that the flywheel always rotates in one direction, and when the rotating speed of the flywheel exceeds that of the inner ratchets, the external wave energy cannot be transferred to the flywheel through the movement of the inner ratchets so as to limit the upper limit of the rotating speed of the flywheel and protect the safety of the flywheel system.

An axial flux machine is described. The machine has a stator comprising a stator housing enclosing a plurality of stator bars disposed circumferentially at intervals around an axis of the machine, and a rotor comprising a set of permanent magnets and mounted for rotation about the axis of the machine. The rotor is spaced apart from the stator along the axis of the machine to define a gap between the stator and rotor and in which magnetic flux in the machine is generally in an axial direction. The machine also comprises a hub assembly comprising a rotating hub and a mount separated by a bearing to permit the hub to rotate relative to the mount, the rotating hub comprising a hub flange and the mount comprising a mount flange, each of the flanges being spaced axially apart from one another. The machine further comprises a bulkhead for mounting the hub assembly and stator, wherein the bulkhead is mounted to the mount flange of the hub assembly and the stator housing is mounted to the bulkhead. The rotor comprises first and second rotors disposed either side of the stator, the first rotor being mounted to the hub flange and the second rotor being mounted only to the first rotor, the first and second rotors together forming a U-shaped rotor extending across and either side of the stator and being rotatable relative to the stator about the axis of the machine.

A two-stroke electromagnetic has a busbar, a magnetic field generator, a piston, a crankshaft, a connecting linkage, and a power source. The magnetic field generator may be a permanent magnet or a solenoid. The power source provides electric current to the busbar and the solenoid. The piston is positioned concentrically with the busbar, which produces a magnetic field upon receiving current flow from the power source. The magnetic field generator is connected atop the piston and oriented orthogonal to the magnetic field generated by current flow through the busbar, so that interaction of the two magnetic fields produces a downward force on the piston, which is connected to the crankshaft by the connecting linkage.

A motor control system for a closure latch assembly is provided and includes a power release motor operatively coupled to a power release gear of the closure latch assembly. A plurality of relays are coupled between one of a first motor terminal and a second motor terminal and one of a voltage supply and an electrical ground to provide one of a first motor current flow to drive the power release motor in a first direction and a second motor current flow to drive the power release motor in a second direction. An electronic control unit is coupled to the plurality of relays and configured to command the plurality of relays to provide the first motor current flow in one of a power release mode and a release mode and the second motor current flow in one of a reset mode and an unlock mode.

A power generation module includes an input part, an elastic member, generator, a rotatable member, a transmission part, and a lock part. The elastic member stores energy input to the input part. The generator generates power when a rotor of the generator is rotated. The rotatable member rotates the rotor. The transmission part transmits the energy stored in the elastic member to the rotatable member. The lock part restricts a rotation of the rotor by the transmission part. The energy is stored in the elastic member by the lock part restricting the rotation of the rotor while the input part moves from an initial position to a prescribed position. The restriction of the rotor by the lock part is released and the rotor is rotated by the energy stored in the elastic member when the input part moves to the prescribed position.
