Patent ID: 7492074

Claim:
A motor comprising: a non-rotating mounting shaft having a hollow channel and a bearing attached to each end of the mounting shaft; a cylindrical non-rotating hub having a hollow hole for the non rotating mounting shaft; plural rows of plural Molded Magnetic Flux Channels having a hollow core and a channel from the upper surface to the hollow core forming a U-shaped recess, the plural molded magnetic flux channels fixedly attached on a cylindrical surface of the cylindrical hub, each one of the plural rows corresponding to a phase of the motor, wherein each one of the plural magnetic flux channels forms two pole pieces divided by the channel; plural transverse phase windings, one of the plural transverse windings passing through one of the rows of plural magnetic flux channels and corresponding to one phase; a rotating drum having plural rows of plural permanent magnets on an inner surface, each row pair corresponding to and aligned with one of the plural rows of molded magnetic flux channels, the rotating drum connected with the bearing to allow the plural rows of permanent magnets to rotate around the cylindrical hub; and drive electronics for driving the plural phase windings, wherein the plural molded magnetic flux channels are timed to increase torque and motor efficiency.
