Apparatuses, systems, and methods of use for a magnetic coupling device is disclosed. The magnetic device may have a plurality of magnets to create a magnetic field to the devices enclosed within the device. The coupling device may have a housing that encloses and/or partially surrounds one or more rotatable shafts. The coupling device may couple an output shaft from a motor to an input shaft of a generator. The coupling device may have an electric coil that when energized may vary any applied magnetic field to the rotatable shafts. The magnetic device may have a first plurality of magnets positioned at a first radial position and a second plurality of magnets positioned at a second radial position, with the first magnets being rotatable and the second magnets being stationary. Multiple magnetic coupling devices may be coupled together in series to provide increased magnetic fields to the enclosed system.

A magnetic spinner device using an impeller system to disperse heat and stir contents there-above is disclosed herein. A motor turning the impeller is offset from a center line extending vertically through the device. The impeller, however, is centered with fan blades pushing air downwards as heat rises from a heat source placed there-below, such as between legs which support the impeller and bowl of the device, the bowl being used to hold a flask and/or substances to be heated. The turning of the motor is translated to the turning of the impeller by way of two reels connected by a belt and placed within a lower housing with a removably connected lower portion. In this manner, the electric parts (the motor) and spared the brunt of the heat by being off-center while the heat rises upwards. The simplification of parts leaves less points of potential failure compared to the prior art as does the movement of electric parts away from being above a heat source.

Electromechanical actuator mechanisms for storm brakes are provided. The actuator mechanisms generally comprise an electro-mechanical release system and a permanent magnet eddy current brake system with adjustable air gap for varying brake setting time, and for energy dissipation of the storm brake main spring force or weight.

The output shaft is drivingly coupled to the rotating load. The first input shaft is drivingly coupled to the driver. A continuous variable transmission device is mechanically coupled to the driver and to the second input shaft of the speed summing gear arrangement. The continuous variable transmission device is functionally coupled to the controller.

The present disclosure refers to a magnetic rack-and-pinion coupling system (1) for contactless transfer of kinetic energy comprising: a rack component (3) comprising a first pattern of ferromagnetic structure being repetitive along a rack length axis (L), and a pinion stack component (5) being rotatable about a rotor axis (R),
wherein the rack component (3) and/or the pinion stack component (5) are movable relative to each other along the rack length axis (L), and wherein the pinion stack component (5) comprises a stack of pinion discs (9a,b,c,d) each comprising a second pattern of ferromagnetic structure being repetitive along a circumference of the respective pinion disc (9a,b,c,d), wherein at least one magnetic field producing element (13a,b,c) is sandwiched between neighbouring pinion discs (9a,b,c,d), wherein each magnetic field producing element (13a,b,c) has one magnetic pole (N, S) at an axial front side (14) of the magnetic field producing element (13a,b,c) and the other magnetic pole (S, N) at an axial end side (16) of the magnetic field producing element (13a,b,c).

A toothed holding brake for a vehicle door has a shaft, an armature plate, a magnet device and a detection device. The armature plate has a first and second main surfaces arranged opposite one another, wherein an armature-plate toothed rim having a plurality of armature teeth is arranged on the second main surface. The armature plate is arranged in a locking position such that the armature teeth mesh in the carry-along teeth to prevent rotation of the shaft in at least one direction, and is arranged in a release position such that the armature teeth are arranged at a distance from the carry-along teeth to enable rotation of the shaft in both directions. The magnet device has a magnet main surface arranged facing the armature plate, wherein the magnet device is designed to move the armature plate between the locking position and the release position.

The torque-increasing device includes multiple rotating discs, rings, or rotors, each including embedded or affixed magnets. The discs are canted toward each other, thus passing closer to each during the first half of a rotation, and further apart during the second half of a rotation. As the adjacent magnets attract each other, the attractive force is split into two vectors: a vector that is perpendicular to an imaginary plane that divides the discs, and a torque vector that is parallel to the face of the rotors. Disruption of the attraction of the magnets on either the upper or lower half of the rotor, or a segment of the upper or lower half, unbalances the rotors and captures a torque.

Air cooling devices driven by rotational power of an electric motor to expand air to thereby produce and supply cooling air. The air cooling device includes a power transmission device for increasing a rotational driving force of an expander that is disposed between an expander housing and the electric motor and for separating the expander from the electric motor. The power transmission device generates rotational magnetic field by receiving rotational power from the electric motor or receiving rotational power from the electric motor and external electric power. The rotating magnetic field generates a rotational force by interacting with magnetic field, based on attraction and repulsion forces. The air cooling device increases rotation speed and force when it transmits the power. The air cooling device increases a flow rate, and expands air adiabatically, thereby supplying cold air with high air density.
