RADIAXIAL FLUX MOTOR WITH A CONICAL STATOR AND ROTOR ASSEMBLY

Problem:

Prior motors, in particular induction motors, have had several disadvantages. Prior motors use a significant amount of air space and can be large and heavy when assembled, making shipping of an electric motor costly. In order to get enough shaft torque, motor length should be increased mostly.

Technology:

The present invention provides for advantageous conical geometry of a stator and a rotor, thereby providing both radial flux and axial flux (“radiaxial” flux) simultaneously. In order to get enough shaft torque, the purpose of invention is regarding to reduce increasing motor length by design of conic geometry. In this way, conic geometry provides both decreasing motor length and getting high shaft torque because using radial and axial flux simultaneously.

Advantages:

•Invention maximizes and/or optimizes the radial space available in order to advantageously use the increased radial dimension of a conical design to increase the moment arm to increase available torque at the drive shaft of the motor.

•The present invention provides for increased efficiency, torque-speed, and improved space utilization for a motor.
