Classification: CPC B  H  Y | IPC H

Claim 0:
1. An electric machine, comprising:
a stator;
a rotor;
a winding;
a storage device; and
a controller configured to operate the electric machine in a pulsed mode such that:
during on pulses, the electric machine is in an on state and generates a work output; and
between the on pulses the electric machine is in an off state and generates substantially no work output,

the winding and the storage device further cooperating while the controller is operating the electric machine in the pulsed mode such that:
during first transitions from the on state to the off state at the end of on pulses, energy is harvested and stored in the storage device; and
during second transitions from the off state to the on state at the start of next on pulses, the harvested energy stored in the storage device is applied to the electric machine,
wherein the applied harvested energy acts to reduce transition times of the second transitions relative to if the harvested energy is not applied respectively.
