Multi-winding Homopolar Electric Machine

INVENTION REFERENCE NUMBER

200902309

  • Manufacturing

This invention is a novel form of homopolar electric machine that achieves greater voltage output at lower rotation speeds. Homopolar electric machines are devices that operate on a principle where the current flow through the machine interacts with a constant magnetic field generating a force. This force will cause the machine to spin (when being used as a motor) or the force will generate a voltage (when being used as a generator). This invention aims to increase the usefulness of the homopolar machine by redesigning the device to produce greater voltage at lower RPMs.
