Abstract: An axial flux electric machine includes a casing, stator cores, windings, and fins. The casing has a hollow cylindrical shape with an inner radial surface and an outer radial surface. The stator cores are spaced circumferentially along the inner radial surface of the casing. The windings are wrapped around the stator cores. The fins project from the inner radial surface of the casing to spaces between the windings.

Abstract: Embodiments include balancing modules during charging of a mixed chemistry battery pack having a first battery module connected in series to a second battery module. Aspects include monitoring a first state-of-charge (SOC) of the first battery module having a first battery chemistry and monitoring a second SOC of the second battery module having a second battery chemistry. Aspects also include selectively activating one of a first bypass switch and a first activation switch of the first battery module based on the first SOC and the second SOC and selectively activating one of a second bypass switch and a second activation switch of the second battery module based on the first SOC and the second SOC. The activation of the first bypass switch prevents the first battery module from charging and activation of the second bypass switch prevents the second battery module from charging.

Abstract: A method of manufacturing a permanent magnet for a rotor of an axial flux electric machine is described herein. The method includes forming multiple permanent magnet (PM) pieces to have the same shape. Each of the PM pieces has an inner radial surface, an outer radial surface, and a pair of side surfaces extending between the inner and outer radial surfaces. The method further includes attaching at least one of the side surfaces of each of the PM pieces to one of the side surfaces of another one of the PM pieces to form partitions configured to extend in a radial direction of the rotor.

Abstract: A speed reduction assembly for an electric vehicle includes an electric machine configured to operate as a motor and as a generator. The electric machine includes an output shaft that is rotatable about a longitudinal axis at an output speed. The assembly also includes an output member coupled to the output shaft and rotatable about the longitudinal axis at a reduced speed. In addition, the assembly includes a pericyclic apparatus coupled to the output shaft and the output member to reduce the output speed of the output shaft to the reduced speed of the output member. A vehicle may include the speed reduction assembly in certain configurations. The vehicle includes a battery module and the electric machine is in electrical communication with the battery module to recharge the battery module when the electric machine operates as the generator.
