PERMANENT MAGNET MACHINE WITH CONICAL STATOR

A permanent magnet machine includes a stator, a rotor configured to coaxially rotate with respect to the stator and having a plurality of permanent magnets coupled thereto, and an air gap between the stator and the rotor having a magnitude that is continuously adjustable. The air gap may be adjusted...

More Information
Summary:A permanent magnet machine includes a stator, a rotor configured to coaxially rotate with respect to the stator and having a plurality of permanent magnets coupled thereto, and an air gap between the stator and the rotor having a magnitude that is continuously adjustable. The air gap may be adjusted to optimize torque, minimize back EMF, or optimize any characteristic of the permanent magnet machine during rotation.
