某些实施例系针对使用电机之设备、方法及/或系统。举例而言，某些实施例系针对一种电机，其包括：至少一个定子；至少一个模块，该至少一个模块包括至少一个电磁线圈及至少一个开关，该至少一个模块附接至该至少一个定子；至少一个转子，其具有附接至该至少一个转子之复数个磁铁，其中该至少一个模块与该复数个该等磁铁呈间隔关系；且该至少一个转子与该至少一个定子呈一旋转关系，其中该电机中之该至少一个模块之数量及组态系部分地基于一或多个操作参数而判定；其中该至少一个模块能够被独立地控制；且其中该至少一个模块能够至少部分地基于以下各项中之一或多者重新组态：操作期间之至少一个操作参数、操作期间之至少一个性能参数或其组合。本发明亦揭示其他实施例。

Certain embodiments are directed to devices, methods, and/or systems that use electrical machines. For example, certain embodiments are directed to an electrical machine comprising: at least one stator at least one module, the at least one module comprising at least one electromagnetic coil and at least one switch, the at least one module being attached to the at least one stator; at least one rotor with a plurality of magnets attached to the at least one rotor, wherein the at least one module is in spaced relation to the plurality of the magnets; and the at least one rotor being in a rotational relationship with the at least one stator, wherein the quantity and configuration of the at least one module in the electrical machine is determined based in part on one or more operating parameters; wherein the at least one module is capable of being independently controlled; and wherein the at least one module is capable of being reconfigured based at least in part on one or more of the following: at least one operating parameter during operation, at least one performance parameter during operation, or combinations thereof. Other embodiments are also disclosed.
