Title: Magnetically actuated reciprocating motor and process using reverse magnetic switching
Inventor: GOSVENER KENDALL C
IPC: H02K7/06
Filed: 2011-07-06
Abstract: A magnetically actuated reciprocating motor utilizes the stored energy of permanent magnets and an electromagnetic field to reciprocally drive a magnetic actuator. A converting mechanism converts reciprocating motion of the magnetic actuator to rotary motion for powering a work object. A solenoid, comprising a nonferromagnetic spool having a tubular center section with a coil of wire wrapped around the center section, is connected to a source of power and a switching mechanism. The magnetic actuator has permanent magnets disposed inside a tubular shaft at each end thereof. The switching mechanism switches the magnetic polarity at the ends of the solenoid to alternatively repel and attract the permanent magnets. The shaft is reciprocatively received through the center section of the solenoid. A controlling mechanism interconnects an output shaft, rotatably powered by the magnetic actuator, and the switching mechanism to switch the polarity of the solenoid to drive the magnetic actuator.

Title: System and method for fast discharge of a ring motor field
Inventor: MAZUMDAR JOY
IPC: H02H7/08
Filed: 2011-09-15
Abstract: High-power synchronous motors are commonly used in mining operations, for example, in gearless draglines, gearless conveyor drives, and gearless mill drives. Substantial electromagnetic energy is stored in the inductive field windings. In the event of a system fault, such as a short in the direct current power source exciting the field windings, the electromagnetic energy needs to be discharged from the field windings. This electromagnetic energy is typically dissipated as waste heat through a resistor. Disclosed is a field discharge system in which the electromagnetic energy is captured and stored as electrical energy in a capacitor. If an ultracapacitor bank is used for storage, the charged ultracapacitor bank can be used as a backup or auxiliary power source for mining operations. The discharge time is sufficiently small that high speed circuit breakers are not needed to disconnect stator windings from the alternating current power source when a fault occurs.
