Abstract
A machine has a rotor to be associated with a shaft. The rotor is provided with permanent magnets. A stator has pole pieces, including a main winding and flux diverters separating the main winding from a control coil. Control is provided for controlling the power passing through the control coil. The machine is a transverse flux machine. The machine may be utilized as a generator, an electric motor, or for other application.
Claims17
A machine comprising:
- a rotor to be associated with a shaft, said rotor being provided with permanent magnets;
- a stator provided with pole pieces, said pole pieces including a main winding, flux diverters separating said main winding from a control coil;
- and
- a control for controlling the power passing through said control coil, and the stator and rotor forming a transverse flux machine, and there being a flux path through said main windings, said control coil and said flux diverters, and a force vector from the transverse flux machine being transverse to the flux path.
