Abstract
A transverse flux machine includes: a winding wound in a rotational direction; a stationary component in which first ferromagnets and second ferromagnets surrounding a part of the winding are arranged in the rotational direction; a rotor capable of rotating around a rotational axis; and a rotary component opposing the stationary component and attached to the rotor, wherein the rotary component having: third ferromagnets opposing the first ferromagnets; fourth ferromagnets opposing the second ferromagnets; and first magnetic field generating sections and second magnetic field generating sections intervened between the third ferromagnets and the fourth ferromagnets, wherein the first magnetic field generating sections and the second magnetic field generating sections generate magnetic fields from an opposing surface of the rotary component toward an opposing surface of the stationary component, and directions of the magnetic fields are opposite of one another.
