Abstract
A pump assembly includes an electric motor including a rotor having a shaft extending from the electric motor, the shaft including a substantially single unit of material and having an end rotationally couplable to an impeller that when the shaft is rotatably displaced by the electric motor, the impeller displaces a fluid to create a jet of fluid. An enclosure having a cavity arranged between a front surface and a back surface of the enclosure, and the electric motor being arrangeable in the cavity of the enclosure. The enclosure protecting the electric motor arranged in the enclosure from a fluid, and a dielectric fluid is containable in the cavity of the enclosure to immerse the electric motor in the dielectric fluid for preventing corrosion of the electric motor from the fluid.
Claims14
A pump assembly for creating a jet of fluid, the pump assembly comprising:
- a plate having a front surface opposite a back surface arrangeable with a vessel capable of floating or submerging in the fluid;
- a first body having a front surface opposite a back surface and at least a portion of a cavity arrange between the front surface and the back surface, the first body arrangeable in the vessel wherein the front surface of the first body is arranged adjacent to the back surface of the plate;
- an electric motor arrangeable adjacent to the front surface of the plate, the electric motor including:
- a rotor having a shaft extending from the electric motor and having an end arrangeable adjacent to the back surface of the first body, the shaft including a substantially single unit of material and the end of the shaft rotationally couplable to an impeller that when the shaft is rotatably displaced by the electric motor, the impeller displaces the fluid into the cavity arranged between the front surface of the first body and the back surface of the first body and into a second body to create the jet of the fluid;
- and
- an enclosure having a front surface opposite a back surface and a cavity arranged between the front surface and the back surface, the back surface of the enclosure arrangeable adjacent to the front surface of the plate and the electric motor arrangeable in the cavity of the enclosure,
- wherein the enclosure protects the electric motor arranged in the enclosure from the fluid, and a dielectric fluid is containable in the cavity of the enclosure to immerse the electric motor in the dielectric fluid for preventing corrosion of the electric motor from the fluid;
- and
- wherein:
- the electric motor further includes one or more wires and one or more posts attached to one or more ends of the one or more wires for receiving power from one or more batteries,
- the enclosure includes one or more apertures for receiving at least a portion of the one or more posts, and
- one or more gaskets are disposed with the one or more apertures, the one or more gaskets for receiving at least a portion of the one or more posts arranged adjacent to a surface of the cavity of the enclosure for sealing the one or more posts to the surface of the cavity.
