Claims20
An electric motor system comprising:
- a motor frame;
- a motor shaft that is positioned in the motor frame;
- two or more motor-shaft arms spinning on the motor shaft, wherein each motor-shaft arm is equidistant with one another on a circular plane to form a gap space in between adjacent motor-shaft arms, wherein the gap space provides air circulation within the motor frame during spinning operations by the motor-shaft arms;
- a rotor winding that is positioned on a tip of each of the motor-shaft arms, the rotor winding is configured to receive inducing currents that facilitate the rotor winding to orbit an axis of the motor shaft;
- a stator winding that is configured to generate the inducing currents, the stator winding being configured into a circular C-shaped stator that substantially envelopes a circumferential path surface of the orbiting rotor winding, the circumferential path surface includes an outermost surface of a ring that is formed by the orbiting rotor winding.
