Abstract
A device including a plurality of motors is disclosed. The device includes a body comprising a plurality of magnet arrays. Each magnet array comprises a plurality of magnets which define a polygon and the plurality of magnets are arranged in a semi-Halbach configuration. The polygons of the plurality of magnet arrays form a tessellating pattern in which the magnet arrays each share at least one magnet with another one of the magnet arrays. Each magnet is configured to be rotatable relative to the body, or in the case of coils as magnets, the input of each coil can be manipulated to replicate the same or similar effect. The device further comprises a plurality of rotors, wherein each magnet array is configured to receive a rotor rotatable relative to the body.
