Abstract: A dynamoelectric machine including an inner cylindrical stator, an outer cylindrical stator, and a cylindrical rotor positioned radially between the inner cylindrical stator and the outer cylindrical stator, the cylindrical rotor being rotatable with respect to the inner and outer cylindrical stators. The cylindrical rotor includes at least one rotating conductor which includes a mixture of an electrically conducting material and a ferromagnetic material. The inner and outer cylindrical stators include at least one of (i) gradient magnetic field strength areas that vary in flux density longitudinally down along an axial direction of the dynamoelectric machine, (ii) different radial diameters of overlapping rotor and stator portions provided at different axial positions of the dynamoelectric machine, and (iii) electromagnets which are structured to be selectively energized based on a changing variable.
