Patent ID: 7888904

Claim:
An axial flux electric motor and control comprising: a rotor having a plurality of magnets mounted thereto; a first stator displaced from said rotor by a first air gap, said first stator having a plurality of slots defined therein, the slots wound with electrical wiring to generate a magnetic field when the wiring is energized with current; a second stator displaced by a second air gap on an opposite side of said rotor from the first stator, said second stator having a plurality of slots defined therein, the slots further wound with electrical wiring to generate a magnetic field when the wiring is energized with current; a motor control adapted to regulate a flow of power to the first and second stator wirings using high-frequency pulse width modulated inversely proportional duty cycles whereby said motor has a first torque, operational speed, and BEMF value when driven solely by said first stator, and whereby said motor has a second torque, operational speed, and BEMF value when driven solely by said second stator; wherein said first and second stators are electrically wired in a parallel configuration; and wherein the first stator has a greater duty cycle during low speed operation of the motor and the second stator has a greater duty cycle when the motor is operating at a relatively higher speed.
