Abstract: A blending appliance includes a housing having a motor compartment and a jar receiving portion spaced laterally therefrom. The jar receiving portion is disposed below an upper housing. A motor is disposed in the motor compartment is adapted to drive a blade assembly of the jar through a magnetic coupling system. The motor is connected to a blade assembly disposed within the jar through a series of gears or belts, and finally through a magnetic coupler. The magnetic coupler is configured such that it stores kinetic energy while the motor is running at a high speed, and releases the stored energy when the motor is running at a slower speed.

Abstract: The disclosed apparatus relates to a non-frictional, rotational, continuous energy absorbing device utilizing internal liquid cooling and having no dynamic seals. The apparatus is comprised of a rotor assembly containing magnets, cooling chambers containing magnetically driven impellers, actuators to adjust the axial positioning of said chambers, and other variations of the apparatus including an air-cooled design and additional friction braking. Braking torque is generated through shearing of eddy currents as the cooling chambers are moved axially closer to the rotor by actuators. The same action also drives magnetically driven impellers, resulting in coolant flow. Braking energy absorption increases as does coolant flow as the distance between the cooling chambers and the rotor is decreased. As the distanced between the rotor and cooling chambers increase, both energy absorption and coolant flow decrease to zero. The coolant flows from the cooling chambers to a heat exchanger to dissipate the energy.
