Abstract
Abstract A flywheel magnet rotor assembly. The assembly comprises a core, a magnet, two pole shoes and a molded resin disk. The core is comprised of metallic nonferromagnetic material forming a general can shape with apertures through a first wall. The magnet is sandwiched between the pole shoes inside the can shape and portions of the pole shoes extend out the apertures. The molded resin disk substantially surrounds the core.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 18
Claim 1
Independent Claim
204 words
A flywheel magnet rotor assembly comprising: core means being comprised of a rigid nonferromagnetic material, said core means having a top wall and side walls extending therefrom, said side walls being attached to adjacent side walls to form a general can shape, one of said side walls having an aperture means therethrough; magnet means comprising a permanent magnet located inside said general can shape with a magnetic north pole and a magnetic south pole proximate said aperture means; pole means comprising first and second ferromagnetic pole shoes, said first pole shoe having a first portion extending through said aperture means and a second portion being located adjacent said magnetic north pole, and said second pole shoe having a first portion extending through said aperture means and a second portion being located adjacent said magnetic south pole; and molded resin disk means substantially surrounding said core means whereby there are substantially no magnetic losses between said magnet means and said core means, said core means adapted to retain said magnet means and pole means in the assembly even at relatively high revolutions per minute of the assembly and substantially all of the magnetic flux from said magnet means can be directed through said pole shoes.
