Patent ID: 7839048

Claim:
At least one ship propulsion motor comprising: at least one rotor with an inner rotor core comprising a plurality of first permanent magnets and an outer rotor core comprising a plurality of second permanent magnets, said outer rotor core being inverted with respect to said inner rotor core; and at least one double-sided stator with an inner stator side comprising a plurality of inner stator windings and an outer stator side comprising a plurality of outer stator windings, formed on a stator core support coupled to a stationary frame, said core support composed of a plurality of oppositely opposed adjacent triangular-shaped channels in thermal communication with a cooling channel positioned between said inner and outer stator sides, said channel and said triangular-shaped channels forming an integrated cooling channel through which a coolant flows; wherein the cooling channel comprises a liquid cooling pipe located at a bottom of at least one slot of both sides or on either side of the at least one double-sided stator; and wherein the at least one double-sided stator is concentrically disposed between the inner rotor core and the outer rotor core of the ship propulsion motor, wherein the inner stator side and the outer stator side together with the inner rotor core and the outer rotor core define at least two concentric air gaps, at least one of said air gaps including a passage channel in fluid communication with said integrated cooling channel to enable air flow to said cooling channel, and wherein the at least one rotor and at least one double-sided stator cooperate to produce at least 7,000 horsepower (9,387 Kilowatts).
