Abstract: An electric motor or generator consists of a stator carrying pole pieces and their coacting coils, the stator being surrounded on one side by the field creating permanent magnets adjacent one face of the poles and on the other by a flux return path element positioned adjacent the other face of the poles. The stator coils are preferably bobbin mounted.

Abstract: A fuel cell system includes a primary fuel line to the fuel cell assembly, a jet pump in the primary fuel line and adapted to be driven by the flow of primary fuel, the jet pump having a nozzle, an entrainment chamber downstream of the nozzle and a mixing tube downstream of the entrainment chamber, a fuel exhaust recycle line from the fuel cell assembly opening to the entrainment chamber for supply of fuel exhaust thereto, and a mass flow control device in the primary fuel line upstream of the jet pump for controlling the primary fuel flow rate to the jet pump. The nozzle of the jet pump has an adjustable cross-sectional area to provide a variable area flow of the primary fuel so that the ratio of fuel exhaust entrained by the primary fuel in the entrainment chamber can be varied.
