Claim:
1. An electrical rotating machine comprising: a rotor mounted for rotation about an axis and including at least one electrical coil having a coil axis with a vector component perpendicular to the axis, the at least one electrical coil further attached to the rotor for rotation about the axis with the rotor, the electrical coil comprising a conductor having first and second conductor ends; at least one first capacitor plate, attached to rotate with the rotor and electrically communicating with the rotor; and at least one second capacitor plate, mounted to a frame so as not to rotate with the rotor and positioned for capacitive coupling with the first capacitor plate; wherein the first and second capacitor plates are positioned to transfer power between the electrical coil and a stationary conductor at a range of angular positions of the rotor about the axis to provide at least one of an electrical motor receiving power through the capacitor plates to generate a magnetic field interacting with a stator to apply torque to the at least one electrical coil driving the rotor in rotation and an electrical generator generating power in the at least one electrical coil interacting with magnetic field of a stator with rotation of the rotor for transmission through the capacitor plates.
