A universal motor/generator/alternator apparatus comprises: At least one moveable body (e.g., a motor or shuttle)(11) having multiple surfaces (14a-d), when viewed in cross-section, comprising a plurality of magnets or coils (13) on each such surface (14a-d); multiple electrical conductor assemblies (e.g., stator windings or solenoids)(15) surrounding each moveable body (14) which each comprise multiple electrical conductors (15) therein, each electrical conductor (15) in an assembly being positioned so as to be substantially coplanar to a corresponding moveable element (11) surfaces (14a-d) that comprises the magnets or coils (13) and means to either energize the electrical conductor (15) assemblies to thereby create magnetic fields that interact with corresponding magnetic fields in the moveable body (11) causing movement of the body (11); or to mechanically move the moveable body (11) thereby inducing an electrical current in the electrical conductors (15) in the electrical conductor assemblies.
