Stage 2 Full-Scale Rotary Magnetic Gear for a Marine Hydrokinetic Generator

The goal of this project is to design, fabricate, and test a hermetically sealed 50 kilowatt (kW) multistage magnetically geared generator (MGG). This project will benefit MHK device developers by providing an MHK PTO that overcomes the reliability concerns of the mechanical gears and the sizing constraints of the direct-drive generators. Experimental Testing Data for a 6.66:1 gear ratio dual-stack magnetic gear with a measured peak torque of 1391 N-m
