Abstract
A winding for a toroidal electrodynamic machine is formed by providing a set of bobbins in a rectilinear array, winding the bobbins so that each phase is of one continuous wire, with each set of phases wound one bobbin at a time, the completed rectilinear array then being formed into a circular array for the machine. The rectilinear array has bobbins formed and is wired in such a way that bending into a torus is possible.
Claims11
A method of winding a toroidally wound electrodynamic machine characterised in that a set of bobbins are located in a rectilinear array, the rectilinearly located bobbins are wound with a continuous wire or a continuous set of parallel wires for each phase, the wound bobbins then being formed into a circular array as an electrodynamic machine winding.
A wound bobbin set for a toroidally wound electrodynamic machine comprising a set of wound bobbins initially wound as a linear array and formed into a circular array positioned about a toroidal core of magnetic material, such core passing through the central aperture in each bobbin, the windings of two or more bobbins in each phase being formed from a continuous wire or a continuous set of parallel wires.
