Abstract
A multiple radial gap BLPMDC/BLPMAC motor/generator suitable for direct drive wind or other fluid medium driven turbines or other rotary machine application. Each rotor and stator segment are housed in a fixture having an intermediate interior ramp angularly inclined at an angle of from about 10° to about 80° to cause the rotor/stator segments to interact at the axis of rotation of the fluid medium driven rotating machine at the same angle.
Claims6
In a dual air gap motor/generator of the type having:
- (a) a rotor including a plurality of rotor segments, each one of the plurality of rotor segments including:
- a rotor frame having a rotor channel;
- and (b) a stator forming a circular rotor ring including a plurality of stator segments, forming a circular stator ring, each one of the plurality of stator segments including:
- (i) a stator frame having a stator channel;
- (ii) a plurality of bus bars disposed within the stator channel;
- (iii) a plurality of stator induction modules, the plurality of stator induction modules being seated on the a shoulder of the stator frame, the improvement, comprising:
- a fixture for each rotor and stator segment, each fixture including an angularly disposed ramp therewithin, each stator segment seating on the ramp at least, in part, the ramp being disposed at an angle ranging from about 10° to about 80° relative to the axis of rotation of a rotating machine.
