Abstract: A state machine includes a state machine having a stator assembly arranged to generate a rotating electromagnetic field in response to a control signal. The stator assembly includes a plurality of stator poles, each of the plurality of stator poles includes a coil wound normal to an axis of rotation of a rotor assembly. The state machine also includes a rotor assembly, positioned adjacent to the stator assembly, arranged to rotate in response to the rotating electromagnetic field about the axis of rotation. A first sensor is arranged to detect an angular position of the rotor assembly and output first sensor data based on the angular position of the rotor assembly. The state machine also includes a controller including a processor, a plurality of capacitors respectively electrically connected to the plurality of stator poles, and a plurality of switches respectively electrically connected to the plurality of capacitors, and the plurality of switches are controllable by the processor.

Abstract: An axial flux switched reluctance motor and/or generator, and controls are provided. It includes a stator, which includes a front surface and a rear surface, and sidewalls that extend from the front surface to the rear surface. The stator includes salient stator poles positioned on the front surface. Each one of the salient stator poles including: a bobbin protruding out from the front surface in a direction along an axis of the bobbin that is perpendicular to the front surface; the bobbin comprising a bobbin front surface that is substantially parallel to the front surface of the stator; and a coil of electrically insulated wire wound around the bobbin. A rotor includes a front rotor surface and an opposite facing rear rotor surface; and further includes a plurality of rotor poles. The rotor is affixed to a shaft and rotates about an axis of rotation that is aligned with the shaft.
