Solar Plane Propulsion Motors With Precompressed Aluminum Stator Windings (2014)
Journal Article
Widmer, J., Spargo, C., Atkinson, G., & Mecrow, B. (2014). Solar Plane Propulsion Motors With Precompressed Aluminum Stator Windings. IEEE Transactions on Energy Conversion, 29(3), 681-688. https://doi.org/10.1109/tec.2014.2313642

This paper reports a propulsion motor for a solar-powered aircraft. The motor uses precompressed aluminum stator windings, with a fill factor of greater than 75%, in a permanent magnet synchronous machine. The motor performance is compared empiricall...

Electrified hydraulic power steering system in hybrid electric heavy trucks (2014)
Journal Article
Morton, C., Spargo, C., & Pickert, V. (2014). Electrified hydraulic power steering system in hybrid electric heavy trucks. IET Electrical Systems in Transportation, 4(3), 70-77. https://doi.org/10.1049/iet-est.2013.0050

Over the last 20 years, conventional automotive engine ancillaries have migrated from being mechanically powered to electrically powered in order to meet market demand. To adopt this trend in heavy trucks requires a higher power electrical system in... Read More about Electrified hydraulic power steering system in hybrid electric heavy trucks.
