Abstract
A multi-degree-of-freedom electromagnetic machine includes a first structure, a second structure, and a control. The first structure is configured to rotate about a spin axis and about a tilt axis that is perpendicular to the spin axis, and includes a first spin conductor, a second spin conductor, and a tilt conductor, which together form a general shape of a surface. The second structure is disposed adjacent to the first structure and includes a plurality of magnets. The control is configured to controllably supply alternating current (AC) to the first and second spin conductors and direct current (DC) to the tilt conductor, wherein the first structure continuously rotates about the spin axis in response to the AC being supplied to the first and second spin conductors, and rotates about the tilt axis to a tilt position in response to the DC being supplied to the tilt conductor.
