Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 11
Claim 1
Independent Claim
159 words
A brushless DC generator comprising a housing, a rotor mounteD for rotation in said housing, a main generator stator winding mounted in said housing, a cooperating main generator rotor winding mounted on said rotor, an exciter stator winding mounted in said housing, an exciter rotor winding mounted on said rotor, means including diodes connecting the output from said exciter rotor winding to said main generator rotor winding, a pair of heat sinks mounted in and insulated from said housing, a plurality of rectifiers mounted on said heat sinks, means connecting the output from said main generator stator windings to said rectifiers, channels in said rotor, in said heat sinks and in said housing, and means connecting said channels in said rotor to the channels is said heat sinks and connecting the channels in said heat sinks to the channels in said housing to circulate a cooling fluid therein to conduct heat from all of said windings and said rectifiers.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
159 words
A brushless DC generator comprising a housing, a rotor mounteD for rotation in said housing, a main generator stator winding mounted in said housing, a cooperating main generator rotor winding mounted on said rotor, an exciter stator winding mounted in said housing, an exciter rotor winding mounted on said rotor, means including diodes connecting the output from said exciter rotor winding to said main generator rotor winding, a pair of heat sinks mounted in and insulated from said housing, a plurality of rectifiers mounted on said heat sinks, means connecting the output from said main generator stator windings to said rectifiers, channels in said rotor, in said heat sinks and in said housing, and means connecting said channels in said rotor to the channels is said heat sinks and connecting the channels in said heat sinks to the channels in said housing to circulate a cooling fluid therein to conduct heat from all of said windings and said rectifiers.
