Abstract
A transverse flux machine includes a stator having a circular coil wound in a rotational direction and a rotor arranged to face the first ferromagnet across a gap. The stator has a plurality of first ferromagnets surrounding a part of the circular coil in the rotational direction separately. The rotor is rotatable about a center axis of the circular coil relative to the stator. The rotor has a plurality of second ferromagnets arranged in the rotational direction separately. A first member and a second member are inserted between adjacent ones of the second ferromagnets. The first member and the second member generate two magnetic fields opposite to each other in the circumference direction.
