Patent ID: 6949855

Claim:
A transverse flux electrical machine, comprising a first element having an exciter section comprising a number of toothed magnetic structures; a second element having excitation cores, and a winding of electrical conductors, said winding of electrical conductors wound so as to enclose all of said excitation cores; said second element is located on a single side of said first element; a single planar air gap between said first element and said second element parallel to an axis of rotation of any one of said first and said second element; each of said toothed magnetic structures is formed from a single integral piece which comprises a number of slots and teeth, said teeth facing said air gap; inside each said slots, a magnetic block formed by two permanent magnets and one flux concentrator is inserted in such a manner that an alternating arrangement of magnetic north poles and south poles is formed in each of said toothed magnetic structures of said exciter section, and said north poles expel the magnetic field through the air gap, and said south poles absorb the magnetic field that passes through the air gap, said permanent magnets are oriented in a direction that is perpendicular to an axis of rotation of any one of said first and said second element.
