Abstract: Electrical generators are provided with toroidally wound stator windings electrically connected in series; a high permeability stator core, preferably an amorphous magnetic alloy material, glassy metal or HYPERCO™ 50 laminations; and a rotor. The toroidally wound stator coils and the stator core trap essentially all of the flux fields generated by the stator coils within the stator core. Since there is essentially no magnetic field leaving the stator, there is essentially no flux field interaction with the field generated by the rotor. The reduction of flux field interaction also reduces counter torque.
