Magnetic motor with plurality of stators

Claim 1

A direct current electric motor, comprising: a pair of end plates connected in parallel spaced relation; a shaft extending between and journaled by said plates; a rotor comprising a disk coaxially secured to said shaft between said plates for rotation with said shaft; a plurality of stator units respectively connected concentrically with said plates, each said stator unit comprising a plurality of elongated arcuate magnetic flux producing coils each extending longitudinally through an arc of a circle and being arranged to substantially describe a circle on the face of the respective said end plate adjacent the rotor and in radially outward spaced relation with respect to said shaft; a like plurality of field assemblies concentrically connected with respective opposing sides of said disk outwardly of the respective said stator unit, each said field assembly comprising a plurality of elongated longitudinally arcuate curved magnetic flux producing coils, said stator units and said field assemblies each having a substantially radially disposed magnetic field axis; commutating means comprising a segmented commutation ring secured to one said end plate in concentric spaced relation with respect to said shaft, a pair of slip rings supported by said one end plate in concentric spaced relation around said commutation ring, and brush rigging connected with the face of said disk adjacent said commutation ring, said brush rigging including a pair of brushes slidably contacting said commutation ring and said slip rings; and, wiring connecting a source of direct current with the coils of said field assemblies through said slip rings and connecting the direct current with the coils of said stator units through the segments of said commutation ring.
