Abstract:
An electric machine includes a stator, a rotor, and magnets. The stator includes multiple flux members having ferrous material. The rotor is configured to rotate relative to the stator and spaced from the stator by an air gap. The magnets are rigidly mounted to the flux members of the stator. At least a first magnet and a second magnet of the magnets includes an elongated axis parallel to a radius of the rotor and a minor axis perpendicular to the elongated axis, and a first pole of the first magnet having a first polarity and positioned along the minor axis to face a first pole of the second magnet having the first polarity.

Claim (Index 16):
An apparatus comprising:\n a stator including at least one flux-shaping member; a rotor configured to rotate relative to the stator and spaced from the stator by an air gap; a first magnet rigidly mounted to the at least one flux-shaping member; and a second magnet rigidly mounted to the at least one flux-shaping member, wherein the first magnet and the second magnet have a first magnetic permeability and the at least one flux-shaping member has a second magnetic permeability that is higher than the first magnetic permeability; wherein the first magnet and second magnet are positioned to provide additive flux to the rotor through the air gap, and the magnetic flux from the first magnet passes through two poles of the rotor and stator and the magnetic flux from the second magnet passes through two poles of the rotor and the stator, wherein the first magnet and the second magnet are positioned to shape the flux from the plurality of magnets and increase a flux density delivered to the rotor.
