ABSTRACT:
An electrical motor includes a stator housing having a toroidally shaped inner cavity. A plurality of stator electromagnets are mounted along the cavity wall in a plurality of parallel helical paths. A plurality of rotor members are rotatively mounted at fixed, spaced-apart angular positions around a ring shaft whose axis is coincident with the axis of the toroidal cavity. Each rotor member includes a plurality of permanent magnets mounted around its circumference. A linear output shaft has one end connected to the ring shaft and its other end extending out of the stator housing. By properly energizing the stator electromagnets, electromagnetic fields set up by them and the rotor magnets interact to produce torque which causes the rotor members to rotate about the ring shaft and to precess laterally causing the ring shaft, and attached linear output shaft, to rotate relative to the stator housing. The toroidal configuration of the motor provides a larger volume electromagnetic field interaction space than conventional cylindrical motors which yields higher output powers and higher torques. The motor, which also has an inherent speed reduction feature, may be operated in reverse as an electrical generator.
