Abstract :
Toroidal-stator permanent-magnet machines have been studied for a variety of applications which can benefit from their particularly short axial length and relatively high power-to-weight ratio. Both generator and motor duties have been studied. Several versions have been under study for some time at UMIST and have become referred to as Torus machines
