Abstract
The present invention relates to an improved electric machine which, when operating in motor mode, produces rotational torque without using alternating magnetic polarity, but rather magnetic axial flux that utilizes coils arranged in a dipolar manner around an axial plane. In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the use of energy is significantly enhanced therein by injecting the energy harvested from the collapsing fields of electromagnetic drive components, and then directing said energy from said primary-drive coils of the machine into an isolated circuit which is thereafter introduced as a transient secondary process to power secondary-drive coils of the machine in order to increase the overall efficiency of the machine.
