This rotating electric machine has a rotor, stator core, field windings for multiple poles, and armature windings for the multiple poles. The rotor is rotatably supported about a shaft. Convex-shaped multiple salient pole sections are formed on the outer circumference of the rotor while arranged in the circumferential direction. The stator core is provided along the outer circumference of the rotor with an air gap from the rotor. Convex-shaped multiple teeth are formed on the inner circumference of the stator core while arranged in the circumferential direction. The field windings for the multiple poles are wound around each of the multiple teeth while insulated from the field windings.

The present invention relates to a vehicle supercharger assembly (14) comprising a generator comprising a first armature (14) being adapted for permanent drive from a source of motive power; a supercharger impeller (24) arranged to be driven via a gear train; an electric motor comprising a second armature (28), said second armature (28) being coupled to the gear train; a first clutch (32) for selectively coupling the first armature (14) to the gear train for driving the supercharger impeller (24) in a first mode of operation in which the electric motor is operable to adjust the speed of the supercharger impeller (24); and a second clutch (34), operable when said first armature (14) is coupled to the gear train, for selectively locking the gear train so as to prevent relative rotation of the first and second armatures in a second mode of operation.

An equipment support including at least one attachment including an output shaft, an input gear wheel, the input gear wheel being both rotated by the motor shaft at a main speed and also connected to the output shaft of the attachment in order to rotate it at a determined output speed, an input shaft, rotated by the input gear wheel at a determined input speed, and a reducer with magnetic gears, arranged between the input shaft and the output shaft, such that the input speed is different from the output speed.

A magnetic geared motor (1) includes a stator (30) including a plurality of teeth (31) that produce a magnetomotive force, a first rotor (10) that rotates by the magnetomotive force of the stator (30), and a second rotor (20) that, in response to rotation of the first rotor (10), rotates at a lower speed than the first rotor (10). The first rotor (10), the second rotor (20), and the stator (30) are disposed coaxial to each other, and a plurality of magnets (34) of different polarities are disposed in respective slot openings (31c) present between each two adjacent teeth (31).

On one side of a worm wheel (46) in an axial direction, first thinned portions (46e) recessed toward the other side of the worm wheel (46) in the axial direction are arranged. Further, on the one side of the worm wheel (46) in the axial direction, reinforcing portions (46h) reinforcing areas between the first thinned portions (46e) and tooth portions (45) of the worm wheel (46) are arranged. Therefore, it is possible to reduce a weight of the worm wheel (46) and to suppress occurrence of distortion of the tooth portions (45) by the first thinned portions (46e). In addition, it is possible to sufficiently increase the strength of the worm wheel (46) in the vicinity of the tooth portions (45) by the reinforcing portions (46h).

An apparatus is provided comprising a flywheel (112) for storing kinetic energy and an electrical machine (190) mechanically coupled to the flywheel and arranged for conversion between mechanical and electrical energy. The apparatus is arranged for transferring energy between the flywheel and a vehicle transmission via a variable ratio transmission (182). The electrical machine is coupled to the flywheel via a disconnect clutch which comprises a magnetic coupling (116).

The present invention relates to a master-slave flywheel drive motor, including a shaft, master motor, master flywheel, slave motor bracket, outer rotor of slave motor and drive connector, slave motor coil winding and magnet wheel. The master motor, master flywheel, slave motor bracket, outer rotor of slave motor and drive connector are sequentially fitted over the shaft. The slave motor coil winding and magnet wheel are sequentially fitted over the outside of the master motor. There is a slave motor three-phase electrode fixed boss on the master flywheel, the three-phase electrode fixed boss being integrally formed with the master flywheel. There is no shifting mechanism in the drive motor, taking advantage of the inertia of the flywheel, so as to reduce power consumption when start-up and to achieve a CVT transmission torque energy recycle function by regenerative current controlling of the slave motor.
