Abstract
A rotor assembly comprises a rotor core comprising a first end and an opposing second end, and an outwardly facing peripheral surface having a set of rotor teeth projecting outwardly therefrom to define a set of rotor slots therebetween. Each rotor tooth can comprise a first rotor tooth wall, an opposing second rotor tooth wall, and a distal tip between the first rotor tooth wall and second rotor tooth wall. Each respective rotor slot can be defined by a respective first rotor tooth wall of a first rotor tooth, and a respective second rotor tooth wall of a second rotor tooth, and includes a first rotor core conduit extending axially along a length of the first rotor tooth. The first rotor core conduit can comprise a first rotor core conduit inlet at the rotor core first end and a first rotor core conduit inlet at the rotor core second end, the rotor core conduit defining a first taper that is narrower at first rotor core conduit inlet than the first rotor core conduit outlet.
