Electric Motor/Generator With Multiple Individually Controlled Turn-Less Structures
A topological change in motor philosophy based on a turn-less stator that is coupled to independent inverters with separate drives is presented herein. The turn-less stator has a multitude of parallel H bridges and an extremely low impedance. This combination of a turn-less stator and independent inverters is unlike conventional motor and actuator technology that requires multi-turn windings for impedance matching with conventional high impedance power systems.
1 . A device, comprising:
a turnless, three-phase winding; and
a H-bridge inverter;
wherein the turnless, three-phase winding comprises:
three single conductors connected at one end, such that the connected single conductors form a Y-network configuration, three-phase circuit.
2 . A system, comprising:
two or more controllable, turnless devices, each device comprising:
a turnless, three-phase winding; and
a H-bridge inverter;
a power source or a load; and
a master microprocessor configured to control each controllable, turnless device independently.
3 . A method, comprising:
creating a turnless, three-phase winding;
creating an H-bridge inverter;
connecting the turnless, three-phase winding and H-bridge inverter to make a controllable, turn-less structure.
4 . The method of claim 3 , further comprising connecting a DC power source to the turnless, three-phase winding and H-bridge inverter.
5 . The method of claim 3 , further comprising assembling multiple controllable, turn-less structures into a suitable configuration with a single, master microprocessor.
