Abstract
An induction machine having ferromagnetic conducting material in the rotor is disclosed. The machine may be used as a motor, an alternator, a generator, or an alternator/starter. The machine includes a first stator and a second stator in a symmetrical mirrored relationship to the first stator such that a gap is defined intermediate the first and second stator. A disk-shaped rotor is disposed in the gap. The rotor is substantially comprised of ferromagnetic material electrically conducting in the radial direction and may include copper bars or rings embedded within the rotor.
