A generator for a wind power has teeth which are surrounded by windings and separated by slots, and permanent magnets that form the poles of the exciter field. The ratio of the number of slots to the product of the numbers of poles and winding phases is fractional and >1. Alternatively or additionally, the front and/or rear edges of successive poles or groups of poles are oppositely inclined to the axis of rotation.

Apparatuses and methods for a wind turbine and blade assembly are disclosed. The wind turbine has a wind turbine assembly being rotatably driven by the blade assembly. The wind turbine assembly has a shaft connected to an inner wheel by a supporting structure. A magnet array is disposed circumferentially about the inner wheel. A transformer array is disposed circumferentially about an outer wheel. The shaft rotates the inner wheel with the magnet array within the outer wheel having the transformer array for producing electricity. Magnets within the array are angled relative to the inner wheel. Blades are held in a neutral position into the wind by tensioning means. Rotation of the blades out of the wind is resisted by the tensioning means to tune the blades to the wind velocity.

A motor including a stator and a rotor is disclosed. The rotor includes a first unit and a second unit. The first unit includes an N-pole first magnet and an S-pole second magnet. The first and the second magnets are alternately arranged along a circumferential direction of the rotor at equal angular intervals to form magnetic pole portions. The second unit includes an N-pole or S-pole third magnet and a salient pole arranged in the rotor core. The salient pole functions as a magnetic pole that differs from the third magnet. The third magnet and the salient pole are alternately arranged along the circumferential direction of the rotor to form magnetic pole portions. The number of magnetic pole portions of the second unit is the same as the number of magnetic pole portions of the first unit. The third magnet and the magnet of the first unit having the same pole as the third magnet are aligned in the axial direction of the rotor.

A rotating electric machine includes a stator having a stator coil and a rotor provided rotatably around a specific rotation axis with respect to the stator. The rotor includes a plurality of magnets, a plurality of magnetically-assisted salient pole members provided between poles of any adjacent two magnets from among the plurality of magnets, and a magnetoresistance variation unit provided in the magnetically-assisted salient pole member along an axial direction of the rotation axis at a position offset in a circumferential direction of the rotation axis from a q-axis passing through a salient pole center of the magnetically-assisted salient pole member. The amount of offset of the magnetoresistance variation unit from the q-axis varies depending on positions of the magnetically-assisted salient pole members so that torque fluctuations cancel each other when power is applied.
