Summary:We have designed, constructed and tested an eight-pole superconducting rotating machine, based on an unconventional topology that could potentially lead to a significant increase in power density. Calculations have been carried out in two steps: estimation of the magnetic scalar potential from a Coulomb formulation using the Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) method, and the calculation of the flux density by derivation of the potential using a regularization method. The use of the MCMC method enables the calculation of the magnetic scalar potential in selected regions of the discrete geometry, which is an important factor to minimize the computation time. The principle of the operation has been validated by a successful testing of the motor showing this novel configuration of an electrical motor as very promising
