Claim Text:
1. An electrical machine comprising: at least one stator; at least one module, the at least one module comprising at least one electromagnetic coil and at least one switch, the at least one module being attached to the at least one stator; at least one rotor with a plurality of magnets attached to the at least one rotor, wherein the at least one module is in spaced relation to the plurality of the magnets; an integrated differential coupled to at least one of the at least one rotors, the at least one integrated differential permitting the at least one rotor to output at least two rotational outputs to corresponding shafts, wherein the at least two rotational outputs are able to move the shafts at different rotational velocities relative to one another, and the at least one rotor being in a rotational relationship with the at least one stator; wherein the quantity and configuration of the at least one module in the electrical machine is determined based in part on one or more operating parameters; wherein the at least one module is capable of being independently controlled; wherein the at least one module is capable of being reconfigured based at least in part on one or more of the following: at least one operating parameter during operation, at least one performance parameter during operation, and combinations thereof; and wherein the electrical machine is configured to fit into a housing and that can be retrofitted into a conventional vehicle by replacing the differential.
