An electric motor apparatus is described that utilizes a Halbach array and a ferrofluid core. The electric motor comprises a rotor assembly and a stator assembly, each of which utilizes a Halbach array. A ferrofluid core is utilized in the stator, which results in a motor that is less susceptible to core loss and operates with increased efficiency.
