ELECTROCHEMICAL MOTOR Russian patent published in 1997 - IPC

FIELD: systems operating, for example, in sea water. SUBSTANCE: electromechanical motor has fixed inductor around rotor fixed on shaft 3. Clearance formed between rotor and inductor 3 communicates with electrolyte-property liquid source. Rotor is made in the form of barrel. At least two pairs of coaxial electrodes 5 and 7 are made on surfaces of rotor and inductor 1 which face the clearance. At least on pair of electrodes 7 is placed between inductor poles. Anode and cathode materials on inductor and rotor at electrode pairs 5, 7 adjacent along axis of shaft 3 are alternating; inductor cathode and anode electrodes 5, 7 and anode and cathode electrodes of rotor are electrically interconnected. EFFECT: improved design. 1 dwg
