A rotor (10) for a rotary electric machine (1) comprises a rotation shaft (11), and a plurality of rotor cores (120-129) fixed to the rotation shaft (11) and axially split. The rotor cores (120-129) have outer peripheral surfaces (120A-129A) with a circular cross section. Permanent magnets (13) extending through the rotor cores (120-129) are arranged at equal circumferential intervals. Voids (120B-129B) extending axially through the rotor cores (120-129) are formed between the outer peripheral surfaces (120A-129A) and the permanent magnets (13). The voids (120B-129B) of two adjacent rotor cores (120-129) are formed at circumferentially different positions, thereby being capable of suppressing the cogging torque without introducing a reduction in output torque.

The present invention provides miniaturization of brushless motors and brush motors used in electric devices, a ring magnet which simultaneously achieves both high torque and a reduction in cogging torque, a ring magnet with yoke, and a brushless motor. The thin hybrid magnetized ring magnet of the present invention is structured of, in a ring magnet comprised of a plurality of magnetic poles, a radially magnetized main pole and an interface for which the interface of the adjoining main pole is polar anisotropic. When the thin hybrid magnetized ring magnet structured in this manner is applied to a brushless motor, in the case of radial magnetizing, the abrupt change in magnetic flux of the interface between the magnetic poles becomes smooth and cogging torque is greatly reduced due to polar anisotropic magnetization of the interface. At the same time, by polar anisotropically magnetizing the interface between the magnetic poles, magnetic flux is concentrated on the radially magnetized main pole, and in comparison to only radial magnetization, maximum surface magnetic flux improves and it is possible to attain high torque.

A brushless generator with permanent-magnet multi-pole rotor disks and stator winding disks in their axial magnetic field includes integral electronics to efficiently generate regulated DC current and voltage from mechanical input power over a broad speed range. All power for the electronics is provided by rectifier diodes from its stator windings. Differential amplifiers provide stator voltage feedback signals. Its power rating is scalable, depending on the number of its disks. Having no iron cores and no gears, it incurs no cogging torque, and no gear friction. Integral power control electronics includes high-frequency pulse-width-modulated boost regulation, which provides regulated current at requisite voltage over its broad speed range. A main wind-powered embodiment to produce DC power for a constant voltage DC load over a broad speed range includes signal processing so output power varies according to the third power of speed. Combined boost-regulation, zero cogging torque, and no gearing, enable a wide speed range, for better power quality and higher wind energy yields.
