To provide a technique that improves an efficiency of using a magnetic field in a brushless electric machine. A brushless electric machine includes a first member having N sets (N is an integer of 2 or more) of electromagnetic groups, and a second member that has N+1 sets of magnetic field forming member groups and can move in a predetermined moving direction in relative to the first member. One set of the electromagnetic coil group and one set of the magnetic field forming member group are alternately disposed along a direction perpendicular to the moving direction.
