Abstract
An electrical machine comprises a rotor assembly comprising a first set and a second set of rotor extensions, and a stator assembly comprising a first set and a second set of stator extensions. Rotating the rotor assembly about an axis alternates the rotor assembly between a first position and a second position. In the first position, each of the first set of rotor extensions transfers flux to one of the first set of stator extensions, and each of the second set of rotor extensions transfers flux to one of the second set of stator extensions. In the second position, each of the first set of rotor extensions transfers flux to one of the second set of stator extensions, and each of the second set of rotor extensions transfers flux to one of the first set of stator extensions. The electrical machine is at least one of a transverse flux machine or a commutated flux machine.
