Abstract
An axial gap rotary electric machine in which the conduction path design for disc-shaped armatures is specifically matched to the configuration of the axial magnetic field. The design achieves an axial gap rotary electric machine which is light in weight and capable of high power density per unit weight. The design can be used as an electric generator or an electric motor.
