!!!!!!!Notice: re stator grooves in hybrid axial flux machines:!!!Most of the imagery associated with these inventions show stator poles with grooves for O-rings and circlips. These grooves are not necessary. We have optional designs that eliminate these grooves, which makes the stators lower cost and easier to manufacture. !The illustrations with grooves for O-rings and circlips were created to highlight the scalability of these designs in as lucid a manner as possible. The optional designs without grooves are scalable as well, and just as easy to assemble. !One critical element of motor design is the air gap, or space between the rotor and the stator. These axial flux designs can have minimal air gap compared to competing products, which will make them more energy efficient and more powerful, with greater torque, particularly at low speeds. !Pumps based on these hybrid axial flux designs have been referred to as smart pumps because of the ease of control that can be had using various feedback mechanisms, such as pressure, or temperature sensors. They can even run forward or backward if so desired. !!
