A rotating electric machine comprising a rotor (2) comprising a body (34) on the periphery of which are installed conductors (36) forming the winding, and a stator (3) positioned around the rotor (2) comprising a magnetized structure extending along a circumference of the stator (3). The body (34) of the rotor (2) is made partially of plastic, in the region of the teeth which conventionally separate the notches near the air gap, on the periphery of the armature. A modified structure of magnets of Halbach type is made with magnets of NdFeB type to reduce the thickness of the stator (3), to increase the radius (R2) of the rotor (2) so as to position all the conductors (36) on the periphery of the body (34) of the rotor (2) on one and the same layer at a diameter of maximum value.
