Patent number: 9800111Abstract: This invention presents a highly efficient electric motor which can be embodied in several configurations, including a standard motor, a hub motor, a linear motor, or other motor configuration. As a regenerative device, the motor may also act as a part-time or full-time electrical generator. There is provided a motor composed of a stator and a rotor. The stator has an array of coils arranged therein. The rotor has an array of magnets arranged therein. Each of the coils includes a first winding of wire wrapped around a core, and the wire has a non-circular cross-section. The wire can be a flattened wire.Type: GrantFiled: August 31, 2012Date of Patent: October 24, 2017Assignee: Millennial Research CorporationInventors: Denis L. Palmer, Robert A. Palmer, Jr., Damian Riddoch, Edward Butler, Charles Palmer

Patent number: 4358693Abstract: A magnetic motor has K stators (K=any integer) and preferably K+1 rotors with each stator having 4n electromagnetic coils (n=any integer), and each coacting rotor has p=3/2n permanent magnets with their poles alternating in polarity. The coils on each stator are arranged in two sets, and a distributor cycles current to the sets so that each set reverses polarity each successive time it is charged.Type: GrantFiled: June 15, 1981Date of Patent: November 9, 1982Assignees: Charles L.
