Magnetically-assisted mechanical gear systems and other power transmission systems, and related methods of operation and assembly, are disclosed herein. In an example embodiment, such a system includes a driving gear, a driven gear, and a first magnetomotive force (MMF) source that generates a magnetic flux. A first portion of the flux is communicated between at least one driving gear teeth and at least one driven gear teeth so that one or more magnetic forces are exerted between the gears. When the first rotational movement of the driving gear alternates from being in the first rotational direction to being in a third rotational direction opposite the first rotational direction, then the driven gear is driven by the one or more magnetic forces so that the second rotational movement also alternates, and a first amount of backlash movement between the driving and driven gears is avoided or reduced.

Magnetically-assisted mechanical gear system and method

An apparatus and method for a generator for generating power having a rotary union between a rotor and a stator, the rotary union comprising a first fluid passage having a converging nozzle and located within the stator having a first inlet and a first outlet, a second fluid passage having a diverging nozzle and located within the rotor and having a second inlet and a second outlet, the second inlet is aligned with the first outlet and at least one gap located between the rotor and stator.

Electric machine with non-contact interface

A method and apparatus for a crimp pin electrical connector can include a body with a first face and a second face, with openings extending through the body from the first face to the second face. A grommet can connect to the body with grommet holes aligned with the openings. A cap having a set of cap holes can align with the grommet holes. A nut can threadably engage with the body to compress the grommet via the cap to seal wires connected to the body with an interference.

Electrical connector sealing system

A rotor assembly for an electric machine includes a core having at least one post and a cap wherein electrical windings are wound about the rotor assembly to define a pole. The rotation of the rotor and rotor pole relative to a stator generates a current supplied from the electric machine to a power consuming device.
