Abstract
A solid-state electromagnetic rotor, comprising a plurality of salient pole pieces arranged around a supporting structure, wherein a first end of each salient pole piece is attached to the support structure and a second end of each salient pole piece points outward away from the supporting structure; and wires wound around each salient pole piece, wherein when the wires of the plurality of salient pole pieces are sequentially excited by an excitation circuit, the salient pole pieces are energized to provide a moving polar magnetic field in the form of distinct magnetic poles as desired to accomplish power generation.

-63. (canceled)
An assembly for providing power generation, comprising:
- an electric power generator stator having a stator housing;
- and
- an electromagnetic rotor placed into and attached to the stator housing, wherein the electromagnetic rotor remains stationary and generates a rotating magnetic field sequentially excited using an electric excitation system, wherein a portion of output power from the assembly is fed back to the electric excitation system.
A method of generating power, comprising the following steps:
- providing an electric power generator stator having a stator housing;
- placing an electromagnetic rotor into the stator housing and attaching the electromagnetic rotor to the stator housing, wherein the electromagnetic rotor remains stationary;
- and
- using an electric excitation system to sequentially excite the electromagnetic rotor to generate a rotating magnetic field to accomplish power generation, wherein a portion of output power from the assembly is fed back to the electric excitation system.
