Axial airgap dynamoelectric machine

Claim 1

A BRUSHLESS DYNAMOELECTRIC MACHINE HAVING A DISCTYPE WINDING-FREE ROTOR PROVIDED WITH PORTIONS OF MAGNETIC MATERIALS JUXTAPOSED TO A STATIONARY ARMATURE INCLUDING AN ARMATURE WINDING AND MAGNETIC CORE MATERIAL, SAID ARMATURE WINDING HAVING TERMINALS FOR CONNECTING WITH EQUIPMENT EXTERNAL OF THE MACHINE, AN AXIAL AIR GAP BEING FORMED BETWEEN THE DISC FACE OF THE ROTOR AND SAID ARMATURE CORE MATERIAL, SAID ARMATURE WINDING CONTAINING CONDUCTORS WHICH EXTEND TRANSVERSELY ACROSS A CONCENTRIC CIRCLE PASSING THROUGH THEM SO THAT SAID ARMATURE CONDUCTORS CAN BE CUT BY A ROTATING FLUX, THERE BEING A CLOSED FLUX PATH THROUGH THE ARMATURE AND THE DISC, SAID ARMTURE CORE MATERIAL EXTENDING CONTINUOUSLY AND CONCENTRICALLY AROUND THE AXIS OF RORATION OF THE ROTOR AND HAVING A FACE WHICH FACES THE ROTOR DISC, THE ROTOR HAVING AT LEAST TWO MEMBERS OF MAGNETIC MATERIAL OF OPPOSITE POLARITY MAGNETICALLY SEPARATED AND ANGULARLY SPACED FROM EACH OTHER, EACH MEMBER EXTENDING FOR A SUBSTANTIAL DISTANCE CIRCUMFERENTIAL AROUND THE AXIS OF ROTATION OF THE ROTOR AND HAVING A FACE WHICH FACES THE FACE OF THE ARMATURE CORE MATERIAL AND PROVIDED IN UNIFORM AXIAL AIR GAP BETWEEN THE DISC MEMBER AND THE FACE OF THE ARMATURE CORE MATERIAL, THERE BEING A STATIONARY FIELD WINDING WOUND AROUND SAID AXIS OF ROTATION TO CREATE THE FLUX THROUGH SAID FLUX PATH, WHEREBY WHEN SAID FIELD WINDING IS ELECTRICALLY ENERGIZED, MAGNETIC FLUD IS CREATED THROUGH SAID PATH, SAID FLUX ENTERING SAID ARMATURE CORE FROM ONE OF SAID ROTOR MEMBERS PASSES THROUGH AN ANGULAR DISTANCE THROUGH SAID CORE TO LEAVE SIAD ARMATURE CORE TO PASS TO ANOTHER OF SAID ROTOR MEMBERS, AND THE FLUX BETWEEN SAID DISC AND ARMATURE ACROSS SAID UNIFORM AIR GAP ROTATES WITH ROTATION OF THE ROTOR AND THEREBY CUTS AND ARMATURE WINDING.
