Homopolar Motor for a Flywheel Energy Storage System
20180006539 · 2018-01-04 ·

Embodiments of the subject invention are directed to a homopolar motor and its mechanical coupling with a flywheel rotor. The homopolar motor includes a rotor and no additional bearings, shafts, gears, pulleys, etc., are required to couple the the flywheel rotor and the rotor of the homopolar motor. The homopolar motor includes a stator with a stator laminate and a number of stator pole pieces. The pole pieces generate magnetic flux across a first radial gap to rotor assembly to generate torque. Rotor assembly is coupled to and rotates with shaft which in turn rotates the flywheel rotor. The rotor assembly includes a rotor laminate stack and a field coupler. The field coupler has a top portion that rotates with the shaft and a bottom portion that attaches to a housing and remains stationary.

A two phase wind power generator system for producing an electrical output having twice the voltage relative to single phase systems includes a shaft connected to an external shaft rotator, a generator aspect integral with the shaft and an output aspect connected to the generator aspect. The generator aspect includes a power source, switching commutator with integrated brushes, first rotor assembly, first stator assembly, second rotor assembly, and a second stator assembly, with the switching commutator, the first rotor assembly and second rotor assembly discretely mounted to shaft, with the rotor assemblies oriented 180 degrees out of phase. The power source energizes the rotor assemblies, and when the shaft is rotated by an external force, electricity is induced in the stator assemblies. The output aspect is operative to receive electricity induced thereby and convert it to a desired form of electrical current as well as combine it for output.
