Abstract:
1. An axial field rotary energy device having positive and negative polarity, multi-phase electric current terminals comprising: a rotor having a plurality of permanent magnet poles; and a segmented stator assembly having a plurality of stator segments arranged in an annular array with each stator segment having: a daughter printed circuit board for electrically connecting two adjacent segments together; each daughter printed circuit board having a first portion electrically connected to a negative terminal via located in one segment and a second portion electrically connected to the positive terminal via located in an adjacent segment together with a current conductor electrically connected between the said negative terminal via and the said positive terminal via; and the segmented stator assembly further including a pair of phase conductors for electrically connecting the positive and negative current terminal of one phase of the electric current to selected ones of the positive and negative terminal vias of the segmented stator assembly.
