  • Patent number: 9157416
    Abstract: The present invention provides a direct-drive electric machine such as a generator and a motor comprising a rotor or a mover and a stator. The direct-drive electric machine is configured with a plural-module combination structure in which the rotor or the mover and the stator are mutually combined such that a plurality of modules form one phase, respectively.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 7466058
    Abstract: The invention relates to a transverse flux electrical machine, comprising a rotor and a stator. The rotor has magnets, angularly adjacent magnets having magnetic polarizations of opposite directions. The stator has a plurality of magnetic cores annularly disposed along the stator. Each core comprises a U-shaped part and a magnetic foot. The U-shaped part is disposed such that its open side faces the air gap between the rotor and the stator and that a segment of a magnetic flux circulating in the U-shaped part is substantially parallel to the rotation axis. The magnetic foot is assembled to the U-shaped part such that it is contiguous to the air gap. The magnetic foot provides a magnetic pole. An electrical conductor coil is disposed in the interior area of all of the U-shaped parts.

  • Patent number: 6949855
    Abstract: The invention concerns a transverse flux electrical machine operating with alternating current, having a first element having an alternate arrangement of excitation cores and of flux return cores and a winding of electrical conductors, the winding of electrical conductors being wound as a toroid, inside all said excitation cores; a second element having an exciter section comprising two toothed magnetic structures, each toothed magnetic structure comprising a number of slots equal in number to the total number of excitation cores and of flux return cores, the corresponding slots of each magnetic structure being toothed by being aligned; a magnetized sub-assembly is inserted inside each indentation so that an alternating arrangement of magnetic north poles and south poles is produced in each of these magnetic toothed structures of said exciter section; an air gap between the first element and the second element; at least one of the first element and of the second element being capable of rotating around a rota
