Abstract
An axial field rotary energy device can include a rotor comprising an axis of rotation and a magnet. In addition, a stator can be coaxial with the rotor. The stator can include a plurality of stator segments that are coupled together about the axis. Each stator segment can include a printed circuit board (PCB) having a PCB layer comprising a coil. Each stator segment also can include only one electrical phase. The stator itself can include one or more electrical phases.
