Abstract

A generator device for generating electrical energy includes a rotor having a first set of even-numbered of magnetic sources distributed along a first radius of the rotor, and a first pair of stators, each having a first set of odd-numbered coil members distributed along a first radius of the stator, the stators disposed adjacent to opposing side portions of the rotor, wherein each coil member includes a core portion having an amorphous structure. In addition, a generator device for generating electrical energy includes interchangeable rotor and stator pairs to provide variable voltage/current/frequency outputs.
