Abstract
A transverse flux machine includes an outer stator having a plurality of soft iron outer stator elements and an outer ring winding; an inner stator having a plurality of soft iron inner stator elements and an inner ring winding; and a rotor having a plurality of soft iron rotor elements and a plurality of rotor magnets, the rotor elements positioned in alternating relationship with the rotor magnets when viewed with respect to a plane perpendicular to an axis of the transverse flux machine. Also with respect to this plane, the rotor magnets, the inner stator elements, and the outer stator elements each have a width. The width of the rotor magnets narrows in a direction toward the inner stator. Also, the width of the inner stator elements is smaller than the width of the of the outer stator elements.
