An electric apparatus comprises a stator having an array of coils positioned within its periphery and a first rotor having an array of magnet pairs positioned within its periphery. The first rotor has one face adjacent to the stator. A second rotor made of conductive material is positioned adjacent to another face of the first rotor. A coupling mechanism may be connected to the second rotor. The electric apparatus may be connected to an electric power source and act as a motor for driving a mechanical load attached to the coupling mechanism. The electric apparatus may alternatively be connected to an electric load, a turbine being attached to the coupling mechanism for generating electric power. An enclosure may protect components of the electric apparatus against external elements, for example to allow underwater operation.
