Title Design and development of wireless permanent magnet DC motors for emerging applications
Summary The project aims to design wireless permanent magnet DC motors for scenarios where electrical isolation is urgently required. Owing to simple structure, high starting torque, and easy control strategy, the permanent magnet DC motors are expected to be put into large-scale production and application in the future. For wired power transfer in permanent magnet DC motors, the major problem is that the power cables are usually exposed to harsh environments, and the wires may become disconnected or destroyed due to continuous operations. Hence, the wireless permanent magnet DC motors are expected to be specifically designed for these scenarios (electrical vehicle, pipeline transportation, surgical robot, etc) so that the messy wires can be eliminated for better cleanliness, security, mobility, and flexibility. This project allows student to design a wireless permanent magnet DC motor based on wireless power transfer (WPT) theorem and verify its performance by simulations and experiments.
