Counter-Rotating Motor
Matt Angle3 March 2010
Project Updates
February 26 Meeting with ONR in DC Canceled due to Flight Cancellations and Rescheduled for March 19
After Sending ONR Slides, Weekend was Spent Snowboarding in the Best Conditions of the Season (5'-ish of Fresh Snow at Killington)
Returned on Monday to Find $100k of Funding for Project
Note to Self: Must do this More Often With Funding, Project has Become
Fundamentally Different
Changes to Project
Project has become Test Bed for Large Shaft Bearings DC Permanent Magnet Motor
Higher Flux Density of Permanent Magnets Allows a Smaller Motor at the Same Power Level
Example: MagMotor BFA-42... 2.8 kW in 4.6” Diameter, 9.13” Length, ~20 lbs
Porous Carbon Spherical Air Bearings Developed at Oak Ridge Y-12 Plant Flow Compressed Air through Porous Carbon Lining to
Provide Uniform Support to Sphere or Hemisphere Function as Both Radial and Thrust Bearings Eliminate Requirement to Seal End of Shaft in Submerged
Environment
Competitive Analysis
Fundamentally New Concept Advantages of Contra-Rotating Propellers
Usually Lost to Mechanical Complexity Several Companies Produce Close Products
ABB IHI Marine
ABB CRP Azipod
Contra-Rotating Propellers Mounted to Two Shafts on Common Axis
Current Most Efficient Industry Example
Unit Shown Produces 17.6 MW
Current Most Efficient Industry Example
Functional Requirements and Analytical Model
Self-Compensating Hydrostatic Bearings Shaft Bending and Bearing Performance
Do We Need Spherical Bearings? Thrust Capacity
Simplified with Spherical Bearings Cantilevered Motor
Self-Compensating Hydrostatic Bearings• How it Works
– When shaft is displaced, supply grooves are blocked, pressure reduced in pockets on opposite side of shaft.
– Pressure difference produces restoring force.• Supply Grooves
– Oriented on inside of bearing assembly.– Extend ~180° to pocket on opposite side of bearing.– Function as restrictors .– Resistance is always optimized for gap clearance.– Are self-cleaning and difficult to clog.
• Pockets– Bear load of shaft.– Are fed by supply channels.– Restrictor and bearing fluid resistances are always balanced
because they both depend on the radial clearance (gap).
