Abstract
A device for converting electrical energy to mechanical energy is disclosed and claimed. The device includes a housing, a shaft, at least two coil assemblies, at least two magnets, and at least two electrical connectors. The shaft is supported by the housing and rotatable therein. The at least two coil assemblies are mounted to one of the housing and the shaft. The at least two magnets are mounted to the other of the housing and the shaft. The at least two electrical connectors are in communication with the at least two coil assemblies, wherein each of the at least two electrical connectors provide electrical energy to each of the at least two coil assemblies independently to generate a magnetic field in same, wherein the magnetic field interacts with the at least two magnets to produce an output torque on the shaft.
