Title: Method for producing a magnetically excitable core comprising a core winding for an electric machine
Inventor: KREUZER HELMUT
IPC: H02K15/02
Filed: 2001-01-22
Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing an electromagnetically excitable core for an electric machine. According to said method, in a first step (S1) a core (24) having a substantially parallelepipedal shape (20) with grooves (32) on one side which run parallel to each other, is provided. In a second method step (S2), a core winding (40) comprising its winding faces (36) is inserted into said grooves (32) and in a third method step (S3), the core (24) together with the core winding (40) is formed in an annular cylindrical mould (52) with grooves (32) which extend radially towards the interior. The method is characterised by an additional step, in which all the winding faces (36) that are respectively inserted into one groove (32) are pressed and formed in a groove mould (119) in a tool (44), before insertion into the groove (32). The invention also relates to a stator (150) produced according to said method and to an electric machine (140) comprising said stator (150).

Abstract: The present invention relates to a polymer
electrolyte fuel cell comprising: an electrolyte membrane-electrode
assembly including an anode, a cathode and a polymer
electrolyte membrane interposed therebetween; an anode-side
conductive separator plate having a gas flow channel for
supplying a fuel gas to the anode; and a cathode-side
conductive separator plate having a gas flow channel for
supplying an oxidant gas to the cathode. 
     A conductive separator plate made of carbon has poor
wettability with water. This has posed the disadvantage that
variations in performance are induced by nonuniform gas
distribution among cells due to the accumulation of product
water or humidifying water in the gas flow channel on the
surface of the separator plate. 
     The present invention employs a conductive separator
plate comprising a conductive carbon having a hydrophilic
functional group, at least in a portion of the gas flow
channels, thereby preventing water from accumulating in the
gas flow channels.
