Abstract
One embodiment of the present disclosure is a unique machine. Another embodiment is a unique system for supplying electrical power to a machine, such as a vehicle, having an electrical load during operation. Other embodiments include apparatuses, systems, devices, hardware, methods, and combinations for fluid driven actuation systems.
Claims20
A machine of a vehicle, comprising:
- a fixed member;
- a structure coupled to the fixed member;
- an engine coupled to at least one of the structure and the fixed member;
- an electrical load of the vehicle having a high energy device including a high power directed energy device that is associated with the machine and utilizes above 270 volts during operations of the vehicle;
- a generator coupled to the engine and configured to generate electrical power at a voltage above 270 volts for the electrical load of the high energy device during operations of the vehicle;
- first and second conductors electrically disposed between the electrical load and the generator;
- first and second conduits arranged along each other and configured to house the respective first and second conductors;
- and
- a dielectric gas disposed in at least one of the first and second conduits;
- wherein the at least one of the first and second conduits is configured to envelop the conductor in the dielectric gas.
