HOLLOW COPPER ELECTRICAL CONDUCTORS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18364868 titled 'HOLLOW COPPER ELECTRICAL CONDUCTORS
The process described in the abstract involves creating a hollow electrical coil for an electric motor by using a sacrificial insert material and copper plating.
- A sacrificial insert material is formed into a coil shaped insert.
- The coil shaped insert is placed into a copper plating bath.
- A copper plated coil shaped member is removed from the copper plating bath.
- The sacrificial material is removed from within the copper plated member to create a hollow passage.
- The exterior of the hollow copper coil shaped member is coated with an insulating adhesive material.
- The copper coil shaped member is compressed until the insulating adhesive material is set.
Potential Applications: - Electric motor manufacturing - Electrical engineering - Industrial automation
Problems Solved: - Creating hollow electrical coils efficiently - Improving the performance of electric motors - Enhancing the insulation of electrical components
Benefits: - Increased efficiency in electric motor operation - Enhanced durability of electrical coils - Improved insulation for safety and performance

Original Abstract Submitted
A process for making a hollow electrical coil for an electric motor includes forming a sacrificial insert material into a coil shaped insert. The coil shaped insert is placed into a copper plating bath and a copper plated coil shaped member is removed from the copper plating bath. The sacrificial material is removed from within the copper plated coil shaped member to create a hollow passage through a hollow copper coil shaped member. An exterior of the hollow copper coil shaped member is coated with an insulating adhesive material and the copper coil shaped member is compressed until the insulating adhesive material is set.
