Abstract

See full text

The invention provides an encapsulated magnetically geared brushless electric marine propulsion system with the principle components arranged axially around the central shaft. The marine propulsion system includes: the brushless DC motor, comprised of the stator fixed to the central shaft and motor magnets fixed within the motor rotor coupled to the central shaft using precision ball bearings; the high-speed magnetic gear rotor coupled to the motor rotor comprising an alternating array of magnets fixed to a ferromagnetic backing; the environmental barrier which protects the motor and additionally houses pole pieces to modulate magnetic flux; the low-speed magnetic gear rotor coupled to the central shaft and comprised of an alternating array of magnets fixed to a ferromagnetic backing; the propeller coupled to the low-speed magnetic gear rotor; and the shroud coupled to the struts of the motor mounting system.
