Motor system with distributed winding structures

An apparatus comprising:

• a stator magnetically coupled to a rotor;
• and
• a plurality of conductor assemblies distributed evenly along a perimeter of the apparatus, wherein:
• each conductor assembly is distributed into at least two groups of conductors, wherein each group comprising a plurality of conductors;
• all the groups of conductors form a plurality of windings, wherein a winding comprises a positive segment and a negative segment, and wherein the positive segment and the negative segment of the winding are spaced apart by a first electrical angle approximately equal to 180 degrees in a first pole configuration, and wherein each segment has a plurality of groups, and wherein each segment is in more than two conductor assemblies;
• and
• the plurality of windings are configured to be coupled to a plurality of power converters, wherein each winding is coupled to a dedicated power converter, and wherein the plurality of power converters and the plurality of windings are configured such that a phase angle shift of currents flowing through adjacent windings is adjusted by the plurality of power converters, and wherein as a result of adjusting the phase angle shift, the number of poles of the apparatus is dynamically adjustable, and wherein after the number of poles of the apparatus has been adjusted, in a second pole configuration, the positive segment and the negative segment are spaced apart by a second electrical angle approximately equal to 180 degrees.
