New way to do vortech style pumps?

[thamnasteroid]

I think I have invented a new way to do vortech style pumps. My design is basically a glorified axial flux motor.

My design uses 2 axially magnetized magnets to hold the wet and dry side in place. I chose to use a 4 pole magnet in the rotor in this design because a 2 pole magnet might be attracted to the coupling magnet and try to move to it, which could cause shaking. The 4 pole magnet aims to stop this by having the same poles on both sides, so that the rotor magnet being attracted to the coupling magnet would cancel out. The stator coils are overlapping and are wound over 3 stator teeth.
What do you think about this idea?

A "crudely conceived idea" LOL!

I think that if they haven't patented it before, Ecotech will patent this as soon as they see it.

I think the method Ecotech uses to spin the propeller is to use a magnetic coupling. My method is to put the rotor of the motor into the wet side.

The ecotech patented design does use magnetic coupling, but that is not the unique feature of the patent. It is that the attraction of the magnetic coupling is the mounting force that retains the wetside in the tank.

Your design to pass the induction feild through the tank wall is something I (and I’m sure many others) have pondered. I suspect the practical issue is the thickness of the tank wall. You would need to create a VERY powerful field to drive across that large of a gap.

I guess the question then is how strong are/can you make the electromagnet coils in the motor.
