Abstract
The invention concerns a windmill including a rotatable transverse flux electrical machine (TFEM) comprising a stator portion; and a rotor portion rotatably located in respect with the stator portion, the rotor portion including an alternate sequence of magnets and concentrators radially disposed about a rotation axis thereof; the stator portion including at least one phase, the at least one phase including a plurality of cores cooperating with a coil disposed about the rotation axis, each core including a skewed pair of poles to progressively electromagnetically engage an electromagnetic field of respective cooperating concentrators. The invention is also concerned with a plurality of elements located in desired positions in the TFEM.
