Rotary electric machine, electric motor, machine, electric generator, and electric generating machine

A rotary electric machine comprising:

• a rotor that is rotatable at a predetermined position and includes a plurality of first magnetic members arranged along an outer circumferential surface, the first magnetic members each including a first magnetic pole and a second magnetic pole that is different from the first magnetic pole and is positioned away from the first magnetic pole in a rotation axis direction on the outer circumferential surface;
• and
• a stator that includes a plurality of second magnetic members each having a third magnetic pole facing the first magnetic pole with an air gap, and a fourth magnetic pole that is a magnetic pole different from the third magnetic pole and faces the second magnetic pole with an air gap at a position away from the third magnetic pole in the rotation axis direction of the rotor, wherein
• in at least one of a plurality of pairs of the first magnetic members and the second magnetic members facing each other, the second magnetic members are shifted with respect to the first magnetic members in the circumferential direction of the rotor,
• wherein each of the plurality of second magnetic members is disposed at nonuniform angles along an inner circumferential surface of the stator.

• wherein the second magnetic members are disposed with gaps along an inner circumferential surface of the stator, and
• a size of at least one gap among the gaps along the inner circumferential surface of the stator is different from a size of the other gaps.
