The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is proposing to provide federal funding the University of North Carolina at Charlotte (UNC) to design, fabricate and test a 30kw magnetically geared generator (MGG). Initially a multi stage magnetic gearbox (MSMG) will be designed, constructed and tested in order to demonstrate the MGG capability.
UNC would perform five tasks for this project. These include:
• Task 1 – Construct a dynometer test stand.
• Task 2 – Design, construct and test the MSMG.
• Task 3 – Design, construct and test the MGG
• Task 4 – Conduct a scaling and parameter analysis.
• Task 5 - Reporting
