Abstract
An inside out electric motor includes a rotor having an interior surface defining an interior space and a magnetic element mounted on the rotor. The motor also includes a stator having a bobbin. The bobbin has a bearing positioned at a central axis of the bobbin. The bearing rotatably engages the rotor to permit the rotor to freely rotate with respect to the stator. The bobbin also has a pole member molded into the bobbin so that an end of the pole member is spaced radially inward from and at least partially aligned with the magnetic element, and a winding wound around the bobbin so that the winding passes adjacent the pole member.
