Abstract: A high speed electromagnetic rotating machine is arranged to avoid heat generation due to mutual inductance between a stator and rotor and has a stator provided with drive windings for generating a rotating magnetic field to rotate the rotor and position control windings fitted to the stator for generating a magnetic field having a different number of poles than that of the drive windings for controlling the axial or radial position of the rotor when an electric current sufficient to unbalance the magnetic field applied to the rotor by the drive windings is supplied to the position control windings. The rotor has a cage conductors interconnected to form a plurality of closed circuits mounted to the rotor, the closed circuits having a number of poles set so that there is no mutual inductance between the position control windings and the cage conductors.

Abstract: A variable-speed dynamotor has a stator having a first set of windings that provide a number of poles for rotating a rotor and a second set of windings that provide a number of poles different from the number of poles provided by the first set of windings. Voltages or currents supplied to the second set of windings are controlled to generate radial forces acting on the rotor for thereby controlling a radial position of the rotor, suppressing vibrations of the rotor, adjusting rotational balancing of the rotor, and controlling radial damping of the rotor.

Abstract: This invention relates to a switched reluctance rotator according to which a rotor can be rotated at a high speed without generating electromagnetic vibration at a rotating shaft and in which a current for generating of torque and a current for generating a radial force are passed through windings on the protruding poles of the stator or a winding for generating torque, and a winding for generating a radial force are wound on the protruding poles of the stator.

Abstract: A flywheel for storing inertial energy is integral with a rotor which is rotatable around a stator. The stator has main windings that provide a number of poles for rotating the rotor and auxiliary control windings that provide a number of poles different from the number of poles provided by the main windings. When currents are supplied to the main windings, the rotor and hence the flywheel are rotated. When control currents are supplied to the auxiliary control windings, radial forces acting on the rotors are generated thereby to support the rotor out of contact with the stator.
