Abstract
A conductive element is provided and includes an electrically conductive material and a coating surrounding the electrically conductive material to form a coated member. The coated member is formed with a crown defined by bends in first and second transverse dimensions. The electrically conductive material is formed to define at least one divot proximate to the crown. The at least one divot is discernible through the coating.
Claims20
A conductive element, comprising:
- an electrically conductive material;
- and
- a coating surrounding the electrically conductive material to form a coated member,
- the coated member being formed with a crown defined by bends in first and second transverse dimensions, and
- the electrically conductive material being formed to define at least one divot proximate to the crown, the at least one divot being discernible through the coating.
2 more elements
An electro-dynamic machine, comprising:
- a stator;
- a rotor rotatably disposed in the stator;
- and
- a plurality of conductive elements supportively disposed in the stator and receptive of current to drive rotation of the rotor,
- each one of the plurality of conductive elements comprising:
- an electrically conductive material;
- and
- a coating surrounding the electrically conductive material and being formed with a crown defined by bends in first and second transverse dimensions,
- the electrically conductive material being formed to define at least one divot proximate to the crown, the at least one divot being discernible through the coating.
6 more elements
A method of fashioning a conductive element, comprising:
- surrounding an electrically conductive material with a coating to form a coated member;
- bending the coated member in first and second transverse dimensions to provide the coated member with a crown;
- and
- defining at least one divot in the electrically conductive material proximate to the crown during the bending such that the at least one divot is discernible through the coating.
