    Abstract: An inductively electrically excited synchronous machine is disclosed. The synchronous machine includes a rotor including at least one rotor coil for generating a magnetic rotor field, a stator, on which the rotor is rotatably mounted about an axis of rotation, and including at least one stator coil for generating a magnetic stator field, and a rotary transformer for inductively transmitting electrical energy to the at least one rotor coil. The rotary transforming includes at least one stator-fixed transformer primary coil and at least one rotor-fixed transformer secondary coil. A machine controller is coupled to the stator coil and to the at transformer primary coil for operation as a motor and/or as a generator. A demagnetizing circuit is provided that includes at least one dynamo winding arranged on the stator. The demagnetizing circuit has at least one switching device for activating and deactivating the demagnetizing circuit.

    Abstract: An externally excited electric machine may comprise a stator, a rotor, a primary winding, a secondary winding, and electronics. The rotor may be arranged coaxially to and/or in the stator. The rotor may be rotatable relative to the stator about a rotation axis running in an axial direction. The rotor may have a magnetizable hollow-cylindrical core. The primary winding may be guided axially through the core. An electric primary current may flow through the primary winding. The secondary winding may be wound around the core so that an electric secondary current is induced via the primary winding in the secondary winding. The electronic may be connect to the secondary winding for tapping the secondary current.

    Abstract: A synchronous machine (100) includes a housing, a shaft (106) to mount a three-phase rectifier (124), main motor (116) and a rotating transformer (RT) (108). The main rotor (110) is concentrically and co-axially mounted on shaft (106), and main stator (112) is concentrically and co-axially assembled over main rotor (110). Main rotor (110) includes Direct Current field windings and main stator (112) includes Alternating Current poly-phased distributed windings. Further, the RT (108) includes an RT rotor (120) and RT stator (122). RT rotor (120) and RT stator (122) may include AC poly-phase distributed windings and second predefined number of poles. Further, RT rotor (120) may be configured to be rotatably coupled on first end (106A) of shaft (106). The RT stator (122) may be configured to concentrically and co-axially assembled over RT rotor (120).

    Abstract: A homopolar multi-core energy conversion device is an apparatus that uses magnetic flux commutation instead of a combination of electrical current commutation and brushes. The apparatus includes a first discontinuous annular stator core, a second discontinuous annular stator core, and a rotor core. The first discontinuous annular stator core is configured to generate a circumferentially-segmented clockwise magnetic flux around the rotor core, while second discontinuous annular stator core is configured to generate a circumferentially-segmented counter-clockwise magnetic flux around the rotor core. The rotor core is configured to radially partition a traversing magnetic flux. The circumferentially-segmented clockwise magnetic flux, the circumferentially-segmented counter-clockwise magnetic flux, and the traversing magnetic flux interact with each other so that the apparatus can function either as a motor or as a generator. The aforementioned components of the apparatus can be configured into different embodiment to achieve the same function.
