Halbach Array Electric Motor with Substantially Contiguous Electromagnetic Cores

摘要

Halbach array electric motor with substantially contiguous electromagnetic cores, comprised of rotors and stators usually configured as permanent magnet and electromagnetic Halbach arrays respectively, wherein the enhanced magnetic forces of said Halbach arrays are focused between said rotors and stators.

主权项

1. An electric motor or generator comprising,
a stator and a rotor, a first Halbach array, said first Halbach array further comprised of, (i) a plurality of horizontal electromagnets and a plurality of horizontal electromagnetic cores, said horizontal electromagnets further comprised of said horizontal electromagnetic cores and magnetic windings, (ii) a plurality of vertical electromagnets and a plurality of vertical electromagnetic cores, said vertical electromagnets further comprised of said vertical electromagnetic cores and magnetic windings, (iii) magnetic flux conduits, said magnetic flux conduits comprised of fork-like prongs, said fork-like prongs protruding from said horizontal electromagnetic cores, (iv) said magnetic flux conduits with said fork-like prongs configured to provide substantial contiguity with adjacent vertical electromagnetic cores, wherein said fork-like prongs physically contact adjacent vertical electromagnetic cores, said stator further comprised of said first Halbach array, a second Halbach array, said second Halbach array comprised of either electromagnets or permanent magnets, said rotor further comprised of said second Halbach array, and said motor or generator further configured with said first Halbach array and said second Halbach array arranged with paired facing enhanced sides.
