Transverse pseudo direct drive

An electrical generator comprising:

• a magnetic gear assembly, comprising:
• a first magnet ring comprising first magnetic pole-pairs disposed evenly along the first magnet ring;
• a second magnet ring comprising second magnetic pole-pairs disposed evenly along the second magnet ring;
• a third magnet ring comprising third magnetic pole-pairs disposed evenly along the third magnet ring, wherein each of the first magnetic pole-pairs, the second magnetic pole-pairs, and the third magnetic pole-pairs comprises two opposing magnets;
• and
• a fourth ring comprising ferromagnetic pieces disposed evenly along the fourth ring,
• wherein the first magnet ring, the second magnet ring, the third magnet ring, and the fourth ring are arranged along an axis,
• wherein the first magnet ring and the second magnet ring are positioned on either side of the third magnet ring along the axis,
• wherein magnetic flux generated by the third magnet ring is distributed between the first magnet ring and the second magnet ring during operation of the magnetic gear assembly, and
• wherein the first magnet ring and the second magnet ring are fixed with respect to the axis, and
• a plurality of stator windings affixed outside the third magnet ring.
