Project Summary
Pseudo Direct Drive (PDD) is a variant of Brush-less DC Motor. PDD is a Permanent Magnet Machine that has an incorporated magnetic gear box. This drive uses magnetic gears with Pole-pieces between the inner and outer rotor. The outer rotor stays static while the inner rotor rotates beacause of the current provided to the stator and the Magnetic Field of the inner and outer rotor interacts to rotate the Pole-pieces rortor. This combination can achieve high torque density and can alleviate problems related to mechanical gear box. PDD is also known as Magnometics revolutionary high torque magnetic gear.
Pseudo Direct Drive (PDD) offers a significant advance over conventional permamnent magnet technology, achieving a step change in continuous torque density compared to that of equivalently cooled Permanent Magnet Machines while maintaing a very high efficiency. This increase in torque allows the motor to directly drive may loads where conventionally a motor and gear box combination would be employed. This PDD is a comibation of mechanical and magnetic arrangement of the magnetic gear.

Technical Details of Final Deliverable
Elecric motor is needed to change it into Pseudo Direct Drive. Three rings of PDD i.e. middle ring , outer ring & inner ring will be adjusted inside that motor for the smooth working of magnetic gears.
A 3D printed Steel bar casing (middle ring) is required for the steel bars to be adjusted & a shaft would be designed for the inner ring to work.
Equipments needed:
- Small Electric Motor (12-15 V)
- NEODYMIUM Curved Magnets ( 4-6 pieces)
- NEODYMIUM Bar Magnets ( 20-27)
- Steel Bars (17-23)
- 3D printed casing for steel Bars
- Bearings
- Shaft
