Abstract: A single field rotor motor comprising a rotor mounted for rotation with respect to a stator. The stator has a plurality of stator poles each having a coil for creating a magnetic pole force. The rotor has a plurality of circumferentially spaced salient rotor poles formed thereon, wherein the flux within the rotor maintains a constant polarity. Magnetic means are provided for creating a pair of magnetic flux fields, wherein interaction of the pair of magnetic flux fields causes the magnetic flux fields to spray radially outward with respect to the rotor, thereby creating uniform magnetic polarity on the rotor poles. Circuit means are provided for alternately charging said stator coils to alternate the polarity of a given stator pole to alternately attract and repel said rotor poles to produce rotation of said rotor.

Abstract: A starting system and method for starting a salient-poled-rotor electric motor having a stator with a plurality of spaced salient poles, a plurality of field coils of unchanging polarity, and a plurality of armature coils, wherein each field coil of the plurality of field coils at least partially overlaps an armature coil of the plurality of armature coils, and wherein variable excitement of the armature coils alternately creates a magnetic pole force in every other pole of the plurality of spaced salient poles of the stator. In such motors, the stator has a first position, wherein the rotor is in stasis with respect to the stator and torque between the rotor and the stator is substantially minimized, and a second position, wherein torque between the rotor and the stator is substantially maximized. A drive circuit provides current to the field coils and the armature coils. A start circuit is provided for regulating the drive circuit to vibrate the rotor to the second position.

Abstract: An electric motor having a plurality of rotor and stator poles, the poles of one element being alternately polarized and neutralized due to the use of direct current and alternating current windings on each pole. The poles of like current are connected in series, and the direct current poles are energized in synchronization with the alternating current poles.

Abstract: The invention pertains to electrical machines of the electromagnetic type employing a stator and a rotatable such as electrical motors and generators, wherein magnetic forces imposed upon the rotor produce rotor rotation. Permanent magnets in either the stator or the rotor assembly are used to control the magnetic flux flow through the rotor in a radial direction, and the construction of the rotor and stator utilize poles which control the forces imposed upon the rotor such that the magnetic forces on the rotor primarily drive the rotor in its working direction, and counter-rotative forces which are common with conventional electrical machines are substantially eliminated by the utilization of flux directional control. Flux movement through the rotor is in a radial direction and high efficiencies and motor control are achieved.

Abstract: The invention pertains to electrical machines of the electromagnetic type employing a stator and a rotatable rotor such as electric motors and generators wherein magnetic forces imposed upon the rotor produce rotor rotation. The invention utilizes permanent magnets in either the stator or rotor assembly to control the magnetic flux flow in one direction and encourage the flux in the opposite direction in certain areas of the stator and rotor assembly. Rotating flux conducting metal shunts are disposed adjacent permanent magnets creating magnetic flux to control the flux flow and pattern to most effectively use the flux forces on the rotor resulting in very high efficiencies in motor or generator operation.
