An inside out generator disposed aft of the low-pressure turbine spool to generate power for the electrical demands of an aircraft system. The low-pressure turbine discharge flow is used to drive the power turbine, which is coupled to the generator. The generator is able to extract power at idle conditions of the aircraft engine from ducting the discharge through the inside out generator. The system eliminates the placement of a generator in the hot gas path of the discharge, and enables the injection of power directly to the accessory gear box of the engine.

The present invention provides a structure of a rotor for a generator in which a rotor capable of being ground very easily with a high accuracy is incorporated. This structure of a rotor comprises a rotor mounted fixedly on a rotary shaft supported rotatably on housings. The rotor comprises cylindrically arranged members in which segmental members of permanent magnets are assembled together cylindrically, and an outer cylinder provided on an outer circumference of the cylindrically arranged members and comprising windings or woven cloths of fibers. A resin material capable of being ground is packed in clearances between the cylindrically arranged members and outer cylinder and in the clearances in the outer cylinder.

An axial field motor / generator having a rotor that includes at least three annular discs magnetized to provide multiple sector-shaped poles. Each sector has a polarity opposite that of an adjacent sector, and each sector is polarized through the thickness of the disc. The poles of each magnet are aligned with opposite poles of each adjacent magnet. Metal members adjacent the outermost two magnets contain the flux. The motor / generator also has a stator that includes a stator assembly between each two adjacent magnets. Each stator assembly includes one or more conductors or windings. Although the conductors may be formed of wire having a round, uniform cross-section, they may alternatively be formed of conductors having a tapered cross-section that corresponds to the taper of the sectors in order to maximize the density of the conductor in the gap between axially adjacent poles. The conductors may also alternatively be formed of traces in a printed circuit, which may have one or more layers. Each stator assembly may be removably connectable to another stator assembly to provide modularity in manufacturing and to facilitate selection of the voltage at which the motor / generator is to operate. Electrical contacts, such as pins extending from the casing, may removably connect the conductors of adjacent stator assemblies. A magnet may be dynamically balanced on the shaft by hardening a thin ring-of cross-linked resin between the magnet and the shaft while the shaft is spun, using ultraviolet light to polymerize the resin.

Disclosed are single- and poly-phase transverse and / or commutated flux machines and components thereof, and methods of making and using the same. Exemplary devices, including polyphase devices, may variously be configured with an interior rotor and / or an interior stator. Other exemplary devices, including polyphase devices, may be configured in a slim, stacked, and / or nested configuration. Via use of such polyphase configurations, transverse and / or commutated flux machines can achieve improved performance, efficiency, and / or be sized or otherwise configured for various applications.

A device such as an electric motor, an electric generator, and a regenerative electric motor includes a plurality of independent energizable electromagnetic assemblies. Each independent electromagnetic assembly has an associated one-piece magnetic core formed from thin film soft magnetic material. Each independent electromagnetic assembly defines two stator poles located at opposite ends of the one-piece magnetic core. Each one-piece magnetic core provides the entire magnetic return path for the two opposite magnetic stator poles associated with each independent electromagnetic assembly.
