A three-phase switched reluctance machine has a rotor, a first stator and a second stator. The rotor, first stator and second stator are coaxially and concentrically disposed. The rotor and both the first stator and second stator have corresponding poles. Only one of the stators has coils wound about its poles, while the other stator does not have any coils. A defined relationship between the number of rotor poles, the number of stator poles on the first stator and the number of stator poles on the second stator may improve the torque quality of the switched reluctance machine.

A solid-state electromagnetic rotor, comprising a plurality of salient pole pieces arranged around a supporting structure, wherein a first end of each salient pole piece is attached to the support structure and a second end of each salient pole piece points outward away from the supporting structure; and wires wound around each salient pole piece, wherein when the wires of the plurality of salient pole pieces are sequentially excited by an excitation circuit, the salient pole pieces are energized to provide a moving polar magnetic field in the form of distinct magnetic poles as desired to accomplish power generation.

A uni-pole rotor for an electrical power generator includes two separate electromagnets formed on rotor laminates and separated by a mu metal shield. The laminates further include two separate winding wire slots on either side of the mu metal shield which slots are wound with magnet wire to serve as rotor coils of the two separate electromagnets. The two separate electromagnets, when excited, create magnetic fluxes of a first polarity and a second polarity such that outer fluxes of the rotor are of the first polarity and the inner fluxes of the rotor are of the second polarity. The uni-pole rotor further includes electrical leads to the rotor coils such that leads are used to excite in an alternating fashion a positive and negative DC current in the rotor coils which allows alternation of 360 north pole with 360 south pole generation on the outer portion of the rotor laminates of the rotor.

An exciter comprises a stator armature defining a plurality of circumferentially spaced apart winding slots separated by respective stator teeth. first exciter winding with multiple phases, a second exciter winding with multiple phases. The individual windings of the first and second exciter windings are seated in the winding slots. For each phase of each of the first and second exciter windings there are two leads configured to connect to a generator control unit (GCU).
