Abstract
A transverse flux machine includes a stator having a circular coil wound in a rotational direction, a plurality of first ferromagnets arranged in the rotational direction, each of the first ferromagnets surrounding a part of the circular coil; and a rotor arranged to face the first ferromagnets across a gap, the rotor being rotatable about a center axis of the circular coil; wherein the rotor includes a plurality of second ferromagnets arranged in the rotational direction; and a flux-generation part arranged between adjacent ones of the second ferromagnets, each of the second ferromagnets to generate a magnetic field in the rotational direction.

A transverse flux machine comprising:
- a plurality of stators, each having a circular coil wound in a rotational direction, a plurality of first ferromagnets arranged in the rotational direction, each of the first ferromagnets surrounding a part of the circular coil;
- and
- a plurality of rotors, each arranged to face ones of the first ferromagnets across a gap, the rotor being rotatable about a center axis of the circular coil relatively to a corresponding one of the stators;
- wherein each of the rotors includes
- a plurality of second ferromagnets arranged in the rotational direction;
- and
- a flux-generation part arranged between the adjacent second ferromagnets, each of the second ferromagnets to generate a magnetic field in the rotational direction,
- wherein each relative phase of the stator and the rotor in the rotational direction differs.
