Innovation Summary:
This dual-invention brief presents two advanced electric machine designs based on a double-rotor flux-switching architecture. The first introduces a compact, high-torque motor that optimizes magnetic flux paths and rotor geometry for improved efficiency and simplified control. The second builds upon this foundation by enhancing magnetic coupling and rotor-stator interaction, resulting in greater torque production, reduced core losses, and improved thermal performance. Both designs are well-suited for high-performance, space-constrained applications.
Challenges / Opportunities:
Electric machines are critical to modern transportation, automation, and aerospace systems, but improving performance without increasing size or cost remains a challenge. Traditional motor designs often face trade-offs between torque density, efficiency, and thermal management. These inventions address these limitations by introducing a novel flux-switching topology and enhanced magnetic coupling, opening new opportunities for next-generation electric propulsion and compact drive systems.
