Homopolar multi-core energy conversion device

A homopolar multi-core energy conversion device comprising:

• a first discontinuous annular stator core;
• a second discontinuous annular stator core;
• a rotor core;
• the first discontinuous annular stator core and the second discontinuous annular stator core each comprising an upper arc-shaped core portion and a lower arc-shaped core portion;
• the upper arc-shaped core portion comprising an upper magnetically-north arc end and an upper magnetically-south arc end;
• the lower arc-shaped core portion comprising a lower magnetically-north arc end and a lower magnetically-south arc end;
• the rotor core being rotatably mounted within the first discontinuous annular stator core and the second discontinuous annular stator core;
• the first discontinuous annular stator core and the second discontinuous annular stator core being positioned opposite to each other along the rotor core;
• the first discontinuous annular stator core being positioned offset from the rotor core by a first annular gap;
• the second discontinuous annular stator core being positioned offset from the rotor core by a second annular gap;
• the first discontinuous annular stator core being configured to generate a circumferentially-segmented clockwise magnetic flux around the rotor core;
• the second discontinuous annular stator core being configured to generate a circumferentially-segmented counter-clockwise magnetic flux around the rotor core;
• the rotor core being configured to radially partition a traversing magnetic flux;
• the upper arc-shaped core portion and the lower arc-shaped core portion being positioned offset from each other about the rotor core;
• the upper magnetically-north arc end and the lower magnetically-south arc end being positioned adjacent to each other;
• and
• the upper magnetically-south arc end and the lower magnetically-north arc end being positioned adjacent to each other.
