A New Breed of Electric Machines - Basic Analysis and Applications of Dual Mechanical Port Electric Machines Longya Xu, Fellow IEEE Department ofElectrical and Computer Engineering, The Ohio State University, 2015 Neil Avenue, Columbus, OH 43210, USA Email: xu. 12(osu.edu Abstract - Conceptually, mechanical port of an electric of electric machine with dual mechanical ports is machine can be doubled and the concept of dual- illustrated in Fig. 2 (b). mechanical-port (DMP)will then give birth to a new breed of electric machines. In this paper, the various possible structures of DMP electric machine are discussed. Basic modeling and analysis issues related to the DMP electric Dual Electical Ports Mechanical machine are presented. An exemplary design of DMP machine is given and verified by FEM results. Potential Coupled EM Field applications and future research work are given to conclude the paper. I. Introduction
