I can prove some insight here - I work with and maintain rotary vane pumps in a laboratory and a lot of our pumps are "magnetically coupled" pretty much in the way demonstrated here. How much torque can they transfer? A lot - those pumps usually run on fixed frequency AC motors with only two speed settings also called "on" and "off" Whats the advantage of this coupling? Little to no maintenance and the most important thing - waaaaay less chance of oil leaking. You can change the motor of a pump without draining a single drop of oil within 2 minutes.

@shaynegadsden

@@minklmank not exactly those pumps are just permanent magnet motors, and generally dont need a heap of torque since there is little resistance when starting since centrifugal force is what moves the fluids which relies more on the motors speed which is also another reason they are good for pumps because if some foreign goes inside it, it can lock up the rotor and there is a less chance of damage

Direct coupling of magnets like this is inefficient, but it's not too far removed from an electric motor. You'd be better off with a generator and motor set, in which case it's already known as a diesel-electric drive train used in diesel locomotives and heavy vehicles. It's also the basis for some Hybrid EVs which may or may not use diesel, but that's not the important part. Doing it this way, rather than using shafts, allows for much more freedom in where you put the power unit, and where the driven wheels are, and how those wheels can move. It also allows for exotic, power units, such as turbines without needing a complex gearbox, or a mixture of power units that can all feed the same motor.

@Niohimself

2 жыл бұрын

My theory is that this works like a synchronous motor, so the RPM would be the same but there would be some phase difference, depending on torque. Too much torque and they de-synchronize, at which point significantly less power would be transmitted as the driving wheel would spend (worst case) half the time accelerating and half the time decelerating the driven wheel.

@BriceJamieson

same rpm by the looks of the slomo but torque transferred is only a fraction of the motor

It's called magnetic coupling

It isn't really practical as the magnets would just shift around (like a cutch gear) if the load is too heavy, and little motion would be transferred. btw the editing is good
