A brushless synchronous electrical machine includes a rotor rotating about a rotor axis, and a stator that includes at least one set of magnetically active stator cores projecting radially outward from the axis, and that also includes magnetically interactive crossbars on the radially outward ends of the stator cores. The rotor includes one or more magnetically active projections that sweep past the radially inward facing surfaces of the crossbars as the rotor rotates. Preferably, there are two sets of stator cores, displaced axially and staggered azimuthally with respect to each other. Stator windings are wound toroidally about the stator cores. The rotor is provided with a magnetic field, preferably by electrical current in one or more axial windings wound toroidally with respect to the rotor axis. |
