Abstract
Abstract A rotary electric motor/generator comprising a stator assembly including a single stator having a motor energizing winding and a generator output winding carried by the stator. A rotor is provided rotatable relative to the stator assembly, and includes a rotor winding carried by said rotor. The generator output winding is interconnected with the rotor winding to compensate for rotor reaction when the motor/generator is operating as a motor.
