A transverse flux electric motor (10) includes an inner stator (15) and an outer rotor (12). The rotor (12) comprises a plurality of permanent magnets (70) in an alternating arrangement with a plurality of flux concentration strips (50). The flux concentration strips (50) contain grooves (60) on a surface (58) remote from the stator (15). The stator (15) may comprise a plurality of stator units (80), each comprising a stator yoke (82) positioned between a pair of stator cores (84). The stator cores (84) are substantially gear shaped and comprise a plurality of stator teeth (92). The stator teeth (92) of different stator cores (84) are circumferentially offset from each other. The stator yoke (82) may comprise a coiled metal strip wrapped around a central shaft (72) of the motor (10). |
