Patent ID: 8471422

Claim:
An apparatus for transferring torque magnetically comprising: Two (2) disc shaped primary torque driving rotor members and a disc shaped secondary driven rotary member, said two (2) primary rotary members being located on either side of said secondary rotary member, the secondary rotary member being located between the two (2) said primary members, the two (2) primary rotary members having electroconductive elements and magnetically permeable material, said primary rotary members' magnetically permeable material having a plurality of slots formed into said primary rotors' perimeter and said plurality of slots being filled with said electroconductive elements, the secondary rotary member having permanent magnets mounted on it, said primary rotary members being connected to and driven by a torque producing device, and said secondary member being connected to a torque utilizing device whereby rotation of primary rotary members cause rotation of said secondary rotating member by some or all of the magnetic flux lines emanating from said permanent magnets mounted on said secondary rotary member cutting through the electroconductive material on said primary rotary members thereby generating torque and rotation in the secondary rotary member.
