Abstract
An axial field rotary energy device can include a housing having an axis. A stator assembly is mounted to the housing and has stator panels that are axially-stacked and discrete panels from each other. Each stator panel includes a respective printed circuit board (PCB) having respective coils that are electrically conductive and interconnected within the respective PCB. In addition, a rotor assembly including rotors is rotatably mounted within the housing on opposite axial ends of the stator assembly. The rotors can be mechanically coupled together. Each rotor can include magnets having leading and trailing edges. The trailing edge of one magnet and the leading edge of an adjacent magnet can be parallel to each other to define a consistent circumferential spacing, relative to the axis, between adjacent ones of the magnets.
