Magnetic Power Drive 50 (MPD 50)

Outer picture and Solid Works 3D model showing components

The MPD 50 is a complete system fully functions as either a motor or a generator. This unit has been utilized as a prime-mover to drive compressor systems, blower systems, pumps, and various other applications. For the generation side, this unit can be coupled to a turbine expander as well as other types of prime-movers.

The motor/generator is optimized to be low cost and have high efficiency. The generator is a permanent magnet type and consists of two subassemblies, stator and rotor. The generator performance parameters are summarized below.
