Patent ID: 7723891

Claim:
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 core for the non rotating mounting shaft; a row 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, the row corresponding to a phase of the motor, wherein each one of the plural magnetic flux channels forms two pole pieces divided by the channel; a transverse phase winding passing through the row of plural magnetic flux channels and corresponding to one phase; a rotating drum having a row of plural permanent magnets on an inner surface, each row corresponding to and aligned with the row of molded magnetic flux channels, the rotating drum connected with the bearing to allow the row of permanent magnets to rotate around the cylindrical hub; and drive electronics for driving the transverse phase winding, wherein the plural molded magnetic flux channels are timed to increase torque and motor efficiency.
