A compressor for an intake section of an internal combustion engine of a motor vehicle includes an electric motor which has a stator and a rotor where the rotor is drivable by the stator and is rotatable about an axis of rotation relative to the stator. An impeller is drivable by the rotor to compress air which is flowable through the intake section and which is to be supplied to a combustion chamber of the internal combustion engine. The rotor is a brushless external rotor such that at least one length region of the stator is disposed in at least one length region of the rotor.

A handlebar for a motor vehicle, in particular a motorcycle or a motorcycle-type vehicle, has a vibration damping mechanism designed to dampen a first vibration of the handlebar. The vibration damping mechanism is designed to detect the first vibration and is equipped with at least one actuator which is effectively coupled to the handlebar in a vibration-transmitting manner and which, in response to the detected first vibration, can be actuated to introduce a second vibration into the handlebar.

A drive system for a motor vehicle includes a separating clutch, a shiftable transmission, a drive machine, and a transmission gear wheel and a clutch device. In a first operating state either the clutch device or the transmission gear wheel is kinematically coupled to the transmission input shaft and in a second operating state both said clutch device and said transmission gear wheel are kinematically coupled in said manner thereto. The drive system comprises a braking device for transmitting a braking force in a non-contact manner in this first operating state from a first part to a second part of the braking device. In that the first part of the braking device is kinematically coupleable to the transmission input shaft and the second part is kinematically coupleable to the transmission gear wheel.

A method for operating a rotating-mass device and a rotating mass device of a two-wheeled vehicle are provided. The rotating-mass device includes first and second gyroscopic instruments, each with a cardanically mounted rotating-mass device suitable for generating torque about their respective rotation axes. Pivoting of the rotating-mass devices is coordinated to influence motion of the two-wheeled vehicle about three orthogonal vehicle axes.

An apparatus for axially adjusting a shifting element includes a shifting shaft, which can be rotated about an axis, an actuating body, which is connected to the shifting shaft for conjoint rotation and in an axially movable manner and which has at least two slotted guide sections designed as grooves on a peripheral surface, and a linear actuator, which is associated with the actuating body and has an actuatable actuator pin, which can engage in the slotted guide sections in order to axially move the actuating body. Each slotted guide section has an incoupling region for the actuator pin, an opposite outcoupling region for the actuator pin, and an adjusting region, which lies therebetween in the peripheral direction and is bent in a curved shape, for axially moving the actuating body. The incoupling region and the outcoupling region of the slotted guide sections that are adjacent in the peripheral direction are arranged at the same axial position.

A vehicle rim is provided having a rim body and at least one capacitor. The rim body has a hub region, a rim bed and a connection region that connects the hub region to the rim bed. The rim body forms at least a part of a housing of the capacitor.

Vehicle rim and vehicle wheel having a vehicle rim

A vehicle includes a front wheel, a rear wheel, an electric driving motor, which is designed to drive the rear and/or front wheel, and several electric storage units, which are accommodated inside a storage housing. The storage housing has at least one air duct for discharging thermal energy of the storage units. The air duct extends in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle at least in one air inflow region and is arranged such that, in an operating state of the vehicle, ambient air flows into the air duct by way of head wind so as to discharge the thermal energy.

Cooling of electric storage units in a vehicle

A drive unit having a transmission, which has an input axis and an output axis, which are arranged parallel to one another and spaced apart. In a drive unit of this kind, provision is made for the transmission to be designed as a cartridge which forms a unit and is connected to a support element forming a component part of the drive unit. A drive unit embodied in this way allows quick and easy mounting of the transmission while allowing for the required transmission forces and transmission torques of the transmission. Moreover, the transmission can be embodied in a space-saving way.
