An induction machine with integrated magnetic gears is disclosed. The machine comprises two rotors and two stators. An outer stator has ferromagnetic material, producing a rotating magnetic field with a defined number of pole pairs synchronized with a supply frequency. A high speed rotor has ferromagnetic material and a combination of rotor bars and permanent magnet pole pieces selected so that the permanent magnet pole pieces do not interact with the outer stator magnetic field. The high speed rotor rotation is asynchronously coupled to the outer stator magnetic field. An inner stator has ferromagnetic steel segments that modulate the field produced by the high speed rotor permanent magnets. A low speed inner rotor has ferromagnetic material and permanent magnet pole pieces, the low speed inner rotor counter-rotating to the high speed rotor. The low speed inner rotor is synchronously coupled to the high speed rotor using modulation harmonics.
