Abstract
The present invention provides a system and method providing a self-contained, regenerative main power source located within a stator section of an electromechanical motor converting physical energy into electrical energy and applying it to the power source to recharge the power source.
Claims12
A modular electromechanical motor assembly comprising:
- a stator,
- a rotor;
- a slip bearing interface located in between the stator and the rotor;
- a motor controller,
- a rechargeable main power source located inside the circumference of the stator,
- at least one sensor measuring a directional force generated by the modular electromechanical motor;
- a tracking measurement unit, wherein the tracking measurement unit measures directional forces and the rotor position with reference to a home position of the at least one sensor and transmits the measured force and rotor position data to a tracking processing unit;
- the tracking processing unit processing the measured directional force and rotor position data and power consumption of the electromechanical motor thereby determining a current flow direction, wherein the tracking processing unit sends commands to the motor controller to reverse the current flow direction and send the current flow direction back to the main power source proportionately to an adaptive force experienced by the user, wherein the main power source is charged.

A method for recharging a main power source located in a stator of a modular electromechanical motor, the method comprising:
- a user creating a primary extension or contraction force;
- measuring power consumption and a directional force of the primary extension or contraction force with at least one sensor and a tracking measurement unit;
- determining a current flow direction by processing the measured power consumption and the directional force with a tracking processing unit;
- and
- sending commands from the tracking processing unit to a motor controller to reverse the current flow direction, wherein the motor controller sends the current flow back to the main power source proportionately to an adaptive force experienced by the user, thereby charging the main power source.
