Patent ID: 6911752

Claim:
A concatenated motor assembly comprising: a first stator inducing a current in an adjacent first wound rotor, wherein the first wound rotor cooperates with a continuous shaft, and the shaft further communicates with a second wound rotor, the first stator and the first rotor forming a portion of a first motor module assembly, the first motor module assembly further having a first elongated housing forming a first central bore supporting a first power connection while confining a first motor having a first bearing assembly contiguous to the first central bore supporting the continuous rotatable shaft, the continuous rotatable shaft attached to the first rotatable rotor encompassed by the first stator restrained within the first bore of the first elongated housing, the first motor module assembly generating the induced current while rotating the continuous rotatable shaft; and a motor coupling unit responsive to the current induced in the first wound rotor providing power to a second stator that is adjacent the second wound rotor.
