Abstract: An axial field rotary energy device (31) can include a rotor (33) having an axis (35) of rotation and magnets (37). Each magnet can extend in a radial direction relative to the axis. Each magnet can include a magnet radial edge (67). The device also includes a stator (41) that is coaxial with the rotor. The stator has printed circuit board (PCB) layers (47) each having coils (49). Each coil has a coil radial edge (69). When the radial edge portions of the magnets and the coils rotationally align relative to the axis, the magnet radial edges (67) and the coil radial edges (69) are not parallel and are angularly skewed relative to each other.

Abstract: An axial field rotary energy device can include a housing having an axis. A stator assembly is mounted to the housing and has stator panels that are axially-stacked and discrete panels from each other. Each stator panel includes a respective printed circuit board (PCB) having respective coils that are electrically conductive and interconnected within the respective PCB.

Each rotor can include magnets having leading and trailing edges. The trailing edge of one magnet and the leading edge of an adjacent magnet can be parallel to each other to define a consistent circumferential spacing, relative to the axis, between adjacent ones of the magnets.
