Abstract: The present invention provides a system and apparatus that includes an induction motor and/or a fan assembly. The motor includes a housing having an aperture and a shaft axially disposed within the housing and having an end extending though the aperture. The motor also includes a rotor that has one or more sets of radius extenders connected to the shaft within the housing, and a stator disposed within the housing and separated from the rotor by an air gap. The rotor typically includes one or more sets of permanent magnets attached along a perimeter of the radius extenders and at least a portion of the radius extenders is made of a magnetically conductive material. The stator typically includes a core structure of magnetically conductive material having a set of slots arranged on an internal face of the core structure and one or more sets of coils disposed within the slots.
