AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The technical effect described this new design for an electrodynamic pumping system used on vehicles has several advantages over existing systems: it uses multiple motors instead of one motor per blade, which makes them more efficient; there are no moving parts like bearings or gears between these motors, resulting in better durability without requiring frequent maintenance due to wear issues caused by friction; and they have advanced features such as adjustment of power levels based upon flight conditions (speed) and altitude, allowing for smoother performance at different speeds and terrains.

Problems solved by technology

The technical problem addressed in this patents relates to providing reliable electronic systems for use during severe wake conditions without exceedingly slow response times due to high static pressure levels (ESOP). Additionally, there needs to ensure sufficient space between each wheel of the vehicle's wingspan while still allowing quicker takeoff from cruising altitude.

Abstract

An electric, inductively-energized, multi-bladed, controllable-pitch propeller hub is configured with an internal battery, electronic control unit and electric internal reversible hubmotor, when energized by a voltage inducted across an air gap into an annulus of receiver coils that is mounted onto said propeller hub and when said propeller hub is attached to and operated with complementary electrical, electronic and mechanical components that enable wireless command signals, together forming a novel and versatile device whose operation can provide near-instantaneous modulation of aircraft thrust, lift and drag by the action of said propeller hub to actuate precise and equal changes to the pitch of each propeller blade through a full range of useful pitch settings, both during rotation of said propeller hub and when said propeller hub is stationary, with an innovation including a coaxial driveshaft that facilitates the removal and installation of said propeller hub from a propmotor.
