Abstract: When a conventional technology is employed, it is difficult to manufacture a magnet row because magnets are disposed so that N-poles face each other while S-poles face each other. Further, magnetic reluctance is increased because a generated magnetic flux obliquely crosses an air gap in which the magnets are disposed. Furthermore, the conventional technology is at a disadvantage in that magnetic flux interference occurs between neighboring magnetic poles. The present invention has been made to address the above problems and provide a rotary electrical machine capable of generating high torque at low speed. The rotary electrical machine includes a rotor disc and an armature. The rotor disc is configured so that plural rectangular magnets whose longitudinal direction crosses the direction of rotor disc rotation are disposed on the rotor disc, and that the polarities of neighboring magnets differ from each other.
