Estimating the term…
A system can include a stator and a rotor. The system can include one or more components coupled with at least one of the stator or the rotor. The one or more components can mitigate or dampen a misalignment (e.g., displacement) between the stator and the rotor. The one or more components can include at least one component between the stator and a vehicle body. The one or more components can include one or more of a spring, a mass, a damper, or an elastomer.
A vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) vehicle, comprising:
The VTOL vehicle of claim 7, wherein the one or more components comprise the spring and the damper.
The VTOL vehicle of claim 7, wherein the rotor is configured to receive power from the stator to rotate the rotor around a rotational axis extending through a center of the stator.
The VTOL vehicle of claim 7, wherein the vehicle body comprises a passenger housing.
The VTOL vehicle of claim 7, wherein the one or more stator magnets comprise a first stator magnet electrically coupled with a second stator magnet.
The VTOL vehicle of claim 7, wherein the rotor comprises a plurality of rotor blades.
The VTOL vehicle of claim 7, wherein the damper comprises at least one of a damped mass-spring system or a shock absorber.
A system, comprising:
The system of claim 14, wherein the one or more components comprise the spring and the damper.
The system of claim 14, wherein the one or more second stator magnets are to output the power to cause the one or more rotor blades to rotate about a pitch axis.
The system of claim 14, wherein the one or more first stator magnets comprise a plurality of first stators magnets electrically coupled with one another.
The system of claim 14, further comprising a housing coupled with the one or more components.
The system of claim 14, wherein the damper comprises at least one of a damped mass-spring system or a shock absorber.
A vehicle platform, comprising:
The vehicle platform of claim 20, wherein the one or more components comprise the spring and the damper.
The vehicle platform of claim 20, wherein the rotor is configured to receive power from the stator to rotate the rotor around a rotational axis extending through a center of the stator.
The vehicle platform of claim 20, wherein the housing comprises a passenger compartment.
The vehicle platform of claim 20, wherein the one or more stator magnets comprise a first stator magnet electrically coupled with a second stator magnet.
The vehicle platform of claim 20, wherein the rotor comprises a plurality of rotor blades.
The vehicle platform of claim 20, wherein the damper comprises at least one of a damped mass-spring system or a shock absorber.
