Abstract:
Electrical machines, for example transverse flux machines and/or commutated flux machines, may be configured to achieve increased efficiency, increased output torque, and/or reduced operating losses via use of laminated materials, for example laminated materials configured with cuts and/or segmentations. Segmentations may also assist with manufacturability, mechanical retention of components, and the like.

The present invention relates to an improved electric machine which, when operating in motor mode, produces rotational torque without using alternating magnetic polarity, but rather magnetic flux that utilizes coils arranged in a dipolar manner around an axial plane and independently removable stators.
Abstract:
A switched reluctance motor (SRM) with a rotor shaft defining a rotational axis, a rotor disc extending radially from the rotor shaft, the rotor disc has rotor poles spaced equally circumferentially. The SRM also has a stator arrangement with member stators spaced equally circumferentially and aligned in a common plane perpendicular to the rotational axis and axially spaced from the rotor disc for forming an axial air gap. Every second member stator of the plurality of member stators forms a respective group, so that each member stator of a first group is surrounded by two members of a second group on each side. The stator coils in the first group are connected to a half-wave rectifier arrangement in a forward direction and the stator coils in the second group are connected to the half-wave rectifier arrangement in the reverse direction.

Abstract:
A reluctance motor having a rotor and a stator that has a wound core, around which a stator coil is wound and which is open on one side and has legs, said legs being arranged around the periphery and forming spaced-apart pairs of legs. Multiple rotor teeth which are distributed around the periphery and periodically establish a magnetic flux between the legs radially engage between the legs. In order to positively change the characteristic curve of the magnetic flux of the legs and teeth, the teeth continuously form an area overlap with the legs in the direction of rotation of the rotor in accordance with the angle of rotation.
