A brushless motor may be applied to an aircraft or a drone and have a stable structure with long life. The efficiency of the brushless motor can reach 94-98% to solve the problems of power consumption during flight and to save energy. Also, the brushless motor has a light-weight body which allows the aircraft to carry more freight.

An electric machine including a stator having a fully non-magnetic core and stator windings formed of a non-superconducting transposed conductor to reduce eddy current losses. It further includes a rotor having a fully non-magnetic core and superconducting windings or superconducting magnets which produce a magnetic field for interaction with the stator windings. A cryogenic cooling system is arranged to cool the stator windings to reduce conduction losses in the stator windings.

A system to reduce eddy currents and the resulting losses in a synchronous motor includes at least one pick-up coil mounted to the rotor. Each pick-up coil may be located proximate a pole on the rotor. A voltage applied to the stator to control the synchronous motor includes both a fundamental component and harmonic components. The fundamental component interacts with a magnetically salient structure in each pole on the rotor to cause rotation of the rotor. The harmonic components induce a voltage in the pick-up coil. The portion of the harmonic components that induce a voltage in the pick-up coil no longer generate eddy currents within the motor. The energy harvested by the pick-up coil may also be utilized in a function other than driving the motor, such as powering a sensor mounted on the rotor.
