ELECTROMAGNETIC COMPOSITE MATERIAL (EMCM)

摘要

A composite drive unit includes a composite material including conductive fibers 14 as an integrated part of the composite material. The conductive fibers 14 can be organized in different patterns, and each of the conductive fibers is terminated to an electrical conductor. A material for a composite drive unit includes a plurality of conductive fibers 14 arranged in a predetermined pattern 30. The plurality of conductive fibers 14 are embedded in a matrix material 12. The plurality of the conductive fibers 14 is connectable to a source of electricity to generate a magnetic field 18 for operating the composite drive unit.
