Abstract
A modular energy conversion device, functioning as a modular power generation device or a modular motor, includes a plurality of modules arranged along an axial direction. The modules each include a stator and a rotor. The stator includes at least one housing member and a plurality of coils. The housing member defines a rotation space therein. The rotor includes at least one disc and a plurality of magnetic members. The disc includes a shaft joint portion and a magnetic member mounting portion. The magnetic members are spaced apart from each other and disposed in the magnetic member mounting portion.
