Magnetic gears for ocean generators

The Department of Energy's Office of Science has awarded a $200,000 Project Grant to Fluxmagic, Inc., a for-profit manufacturing company based in Portland, Oregon, under the Office of Science Financial Assistance Program (CFDA 81.049). The grant funding will support Fluxmagic's research and development of "MAGNETIC GEARS FOR OCEAN GENERATORS", focused on advancing magnetic gear and drivetrain technologies for offshore renewable energy applications, particularly in the ocean and wind energy sectors. As a manufacturer of high-precision magnetic components, Fluxmagic leverages sophisticated engineering approaches to improve power generation efficiency. This federal grant award, with a project period from July 2024 to July 2025, builds upon Fluxmagic's previous successes in securing funding from agencies like the National Science Foundation for its work on magnetic gear and electromagnetic resonant power take-off generator research.
