Definitions
- the present disclosure relates to electrical systems, and in particular to transverse flux machines and commutated flux machines.
- Motors and alternators are typically designed for high efficiency, high power density, and low cost.
- High power density in a motor or alternator may be achieved by operating at high rotational speed and therefore high electrical frequency.
- many applications require lower rotational speeds.
- a common solution to this is to use a gear reduction. Gear reduction reduces efficiency, adds complexity, adds weight, and adds space requirements. Additionally, gear reduction increases system costs and increases mechanical failure rates.
- a motor or alternator typically must have a large number of poles to provide a higher electrical frequency at a lower rotational speed.
- a particular motor or alternator can have, for example due to space limitations. Once the practical limit is reached, in order to achieve a desired power level the motor or alternator must be relatively large, and thus have a corresponding lower power density.
- existing multipole windings for alternators and electric motors typically require winding geometry and often complex winding machines in order to meet size and/or power needs. As the number of poles increases, the winding problem is typically made worse.
- pole count increases, coil losses also increase (for example, due to resistive effects in the copper wire or other material comprising the coil).
- greater numbers of poles have certain advantages, for example allowing a higher voltage constant per turn, providing higher torque density, and producing voltage at a higher frequency.
- electric motors are of a radial flux type.
- some electric motors are implemented as transverse flux machines and/or commutated flux machines. It is desirable to develop improved electric motor and/or alternator performance and/or configurability. In particular, improved transverse flux machines and/or commutated flux machines are desirable.
- a commutated flux machine comprises a truncated stator having a plurality of magnets interleaved with a plurality of flux concentrators.
- the plurality of magnets has alternating magnetic orientations such that the plurality of flux concentrators has alternating magnetic poles.
- the plurality of magnets and the plurality of flux concentrators are coupled to less than the full circumference of a rotor.
- an electrical machine comprises a circular rotor and a truncated stator.
- the truncated stator may be coupled to the circular rotor such that the truncated stator extends only a portion of the circumference of the circular rotor.
- the electrical machine is at least one of a transverse flux machine or a commutated flux machine.
- an electrical machine comprises a rotor, a partial stator assembly, and a guide mechanism configured to achieve a specified air gap between the rotor and the partial stator assembly.
- the partial stator assembly has a flux concentrator, a first magnet connected to a first side of the flux concentrator, and a second magnet connected to a second side of the flux concentrator opposite the first side.
- the first magnet and the second magnet are magnetically oriented such that a common magnetic pole is present on the first and second sides of the flux concentrator.
- the electrical machine is at least one of a transverse flux machine or a commutated flux machine.
- a method of configuring an electrical machine comprises coupling a truncated stator to a rotor via a guide mechanism, and configuring the guide mechanism to achieve a desired air gap between the truncated stator and the rotor.
- the desired air gap is independent of the diameter of the rotor.
- the electrical machine is at least one of a transverse flux machine or a commutated flux machine.
- a method of configuring an electrical machine comprises coupling a truncated stator to a rotor via a guide mechanism, the rotor having a diameter, and configuring the guide mechanism to achieve a desired air gap between the truncated stator and the rotor.
- the desired air gap is independent of the diameter of the rotor.
- the electrical machine is at least one of a transverse flux machine or a commutated flux machine.

- Prior electric motors for example conventional DC brushless motors, suffer from various deficiencies. For example, many electric motors are inefficient at various rotational speeds and/or loads, for example low rotational speeds. Thus, the motor is typically operated within a narrow RPM range and/or load range of suitable efficiency. In these configurations, gears or other mechanical approaches may be required in order to obtain useful work from the motor.
- Still other electric motors contain large volumes of copper wire or other coil material. Due to the length of the coil windings, resistive effects in the coil lead to coil losses. For example, such losses convert a portion of electrical energy into heat, reducing efficiency and potentially leading to thermal damage to and/or functional destruction of the motor.
- torque density refers to Newton-meters produced per kilogram of active electrical and magnetic materials.
- many prior electric motors are configured with a torque density from about .5 Newton-meters per kilogram to about 3 Newton-meters per kilogram.
- a certain electric motor with a torque density of 1 Newton-meter per kilogram providing, for example, 10 total Newton-meters of torque may be quite heavy, for example in excess of 10 kilograms of active electrical and magnetic materials.
- another electric motor with a torque density of 2 Newton-meters per kilogram providing, for example, 100 total Newton-meters of torque may also be quite heavy, for example in excess of 50 kilograms of active electrical and magnetic materials.
- the total weight of these electric motors may be significantly higher.
- such prior electric motors are often quite bulky as a result of the large motor mass. Often, a motor of sufficient torque and/or power for a particular application is difficult or even impossible to fit in the available area.
- prior transverse flux machines have been unable to overcome these difficulties. For example, prior transverse flux machines have suffered from significant flux leakage. Still others have offered torque densities of only a few Newton-meters per kilogram of active electrical and magnetic materials. Moreover, various prior transverse flux machines have been efficiently operable only within a comparatively narrow RPM and/or load range. Additionally, using prior transverse flux machines to generate substantial output power often required spinning relatively massive and complicated components (i.e., those involving permanent magnets and/or relatively exotic, dense and/or expensive flux concentrating or conducting materials) at high rates of speed. Such high-speed operation requires additional expensive and/or complicated components for support and/or system reliability. Moreover, many prior transverse flux machines are comparatively expensive and/or difficult to manufacture, limiting their viability.

For example, in a vehicle, turning may increase a chance of a rotor and stator scraping, due to the angular momentum of the system. Moreover, in a vehicle, a rotor and stator may scrape and/or otherwise contact one another in an undesirable manner for various reasons, for example contact with a pothole, lateral acceleration during a turn, an external force, and/or the like.
