Provided is a rotary electric machine including: a permanent magnet rotatable around a first rotational shaft and disposed at a distance from a main surface of a moving body rotating or moving, at least a part of a side surface of the permanent magnet continuous to an outer peripheral surface thereof being opposed to the main surface of the moving body, wherein the permanent magnet is rotated around the first rotational shaft by a reaction force acting on the permanent magnet, the reaction force being caused by eddy currents produced in the main surface of the moving body in such a direction as to hinder a change of magnetic flux from the permanent magnet, and a surface speed of the side surface of the permanent magnet opposed to the moving body is lower than a surface speed of the main surface of the moving body opposed thereto.

Systems and methods for electric motor, where the stator core has one or more stator core sections, each of which is a single-piece unit formed of soft magnetic composite (SMC) material, and where the stator core sections are positioned end-to-end with seals at each end to form a plurality of stator slots, where each of the stator slots extends through each of the stator core sections and is in fluid communication with the others to form a sealed stator chamber. The sealed stator chamber may have an expansion chamber to allow expansion and contraction of dielectric fluid in the stator chamber while maintaining separation of the dielectric oil from lubricating oil which is within the motor but external to the stator chamber. The sealed stator chamber can prevent well fluids that leak into the motor from reaching the stator windings and degrading their insulation.

An induction motor includes a motor shaft, a rotor, and a rotor conductor bar. In some embodiments described herein, the rotor has a first axial side and a second axial side, and is non-rotatably secured to the motor shaft. The rotor includes a rotor core having an interior surface defining a slot extending from the first axial side to the second axial side. The rotor conductor bar is disposed in the slot. The rotor conductor bar and the slot cooperate to define a channel configured to transfer a fluid through the rotor core from the first axial side to the second axial side while directly contacting the rotor conductor bar.
