Abstract: A process for making a hollow electrical coil for an electric motor includes forming a sacrificial insert material into a coil shaped insert. The coil shaped insert is placed into a copper plating bath and a copper plated coil shaped member is removed from the copper plating bath. The sacrificial material is removed from within the copper plated coil shaped member to create a hollow passage through a hollow copper coil shaped member. An exterior of the hollow copper coil shaped member is coated with an insulating adhesive material and the copper coil shaped member is compressed until the insulating adhesive material is set.

Abstract: An axial flux motor drive unit for an automobile includes a stator defining a core, an output defining an axis of rotation, a first rotor, a second rotor, and a thrust bearing. The first rotor is rotatable about the axis of rotation and is coupled to the output and disposed relative to the stator to create a first air gap. The second rotor is rotatable about the axis of rotation and is coupled to the output and is disposed relative to the stator to create a second air gap. The thrust bearing is coupled to the output and supports axial loads that are substantially parallel to the axis of rotation, and the first rotor is still rotatable about the axis of rotation when the second rotor is inoperable, and the second rotor is still rotatable when the first rotor is inoperable.

Abstract: A disturbance cancellation and generation seat system includes a seat mounted to a structure of a vehicle. The seat is accelerated due to a disturbance acceleration received in the structure and transferred to the seat. A seat control unit generates a force cancellation command signal. An actuation device is connected to the structure and is in communication with the seat control unit. The actuation device in response to receipt of the force cancellation command signal induces a cancellation acceleration motion into the seat which is equal but opposite to and therefore cancels an acceleration motion of the seat induced by the disturbance acceleration.
