Provided is a motor system adapted for modern society, which does not use a rare-earth magnet, improves a torque weight ratio by approximately one digit in comparison with the conventional motor, and has transfer efficiency of 90% between electric energy and rotational energy. A stator (1) has a dual-ring tooth-groove iron core, which has magnetic pole surface on both side surfaces and receives coils of basically two-phase structure divided to be multiplexed, with divided coils being interconnected. A rotor (2) is formed to be capable of rotating while holding eight sets of attraction poles having magnetic pole surfaces on both ends, with each set of attraction poles forming four air-gap-facing surfaces by positioning the dual-ring tooth-groove iron core between the attraction poles so that both side surfaces of the dual-ring tooth-groove iron core face the attraction poles via an air gap (6). Magnetic energy accompanying coil switching can be reduced to one part per dozens through the dual effect of reduction owing to coil division and dispersion owing to interconnection. The torque weight ratio can be improved approximately by one digit through synergistic effect of torque increase owing to integration of magnetomotive forces by interconnection, torque increase owing to composite structure of the attraction poles, and weight reduction of the iron core.

An electrical machine has a variable reluctance rotor, and a stator formed as an annular array of stator segments. The reluctance of the rotor-to-stator magnetic flux path varies with rotor position whereby the stator segments are magnetically energizable to rotate the rotor. The stator segments are arranged in the array such that, when energized to rotate the rotor, they produce an unbalanced force on the rotor. The machine further has a compensator including one or more balancing segments which are configured to be magnetically energizable to produce a balancing force on the rotor which balances the unbalanced force. The reluctance of the rotor-to-compensator magnetic flux path is substantially invariant with rotor position.
