Abstract
A rotary electric machine includes an annular stator, an inner rotor, an outer rotor and a toroidal coil. The annular stator includes inner teeth protruding radially inward and outer teeth protruding radially outward. The inner rotor faces a radially inner side of the annular stator. The outer rotor faces a radially outer side of the annular stator. The toroidal coils are arranged in each inner slot between any adjacent two of the inner teeth and a corresponding one outer slot between adjacent two of the outer teeth. The total number of the plurality of outer slots is larger than the total number of the plurality of inner slots. The number of the coils arranged in all the outer slots is larger than or equal to the number of the coils arranged in all the inner slots.
