Abstract
Provided is a rotary electric machine including: a permanent magnet rotatable around a first rotational shaft and disposed at a distance from a main surface of a moving body rotating or moving, at least a part of a side surface of the permanent magnet continuous to an outer peripheral surface thereof being opposed to the main surface of the moving body, wherein the permanent magnet is rotated around the first rotational shaft by a reaction force acting on the permanent magnet, the reaction force being caused by eddy currents produced in the main surface of the moving body in such a direction as to hinder a change of magnetic flux from the permanent magnet, and a surface speed of the side surface of the permanent magnet opposed to the moving body is lower than a surface speed of the main surface of the moving body opposed thereto.
