An electric potential energy (EPE) generator having a throughput shaft and an electrical energy generating rotor assembly. The EPE generator generates electrical energy through the electric potential energy stored within a mechanical system serving a primary mechanical purpose. The mechanical energy has a primary function for the system, while secondarily driving the EPE generator; mechanical energy is not lost in a direct amount to the production of electrical energy. The EPE generator has the capability to generate electrical energy at all states of the system, given that the mechanical rotation is provided; the EPE generator is not limited to operation dependent of mechanical energy transferring either in or out of the system.

A rotary electrical machine including an annular stator having a stator core around which an armature winding is wound, and a rotor arranged on an inner circumference of the stator, a permeance of a q-axis magnetic circuit is made larger than a permeance of a d-axis magnetic circuit. The machine includes a switch for supplying power to a field winding and controller. The controller calculates the duty ratio on the condition that an upper limit of the duty ratio of the switch is a predetermined value and turns on/off the switch based on the calculated ratio. The predetermined value is set to a value larger than the duty ratio corresponding to the field current that gives the maximum reduction amount of the inductance of the field winding with respect to an increasing amount of the field current in a range that the current can take and is less than 100%.

An automotive alternator rotor includes: a pair of magnetic pole cores; a field coil that is disposed on the magnetic pole cores; and a cooling fan that is fixed to the magnetic pole cores. The cooling fan includes: a base portion that is fixed to an axial end surface of the magnetic pole cores; and a plurality of vane portions that protrude axially from the base portion.

The plurality of first claw poles are axially overlapping with the plurality of second claw poles. At least two DC excitation coils are fixed relative to the housing and configured to provide a magnetic field to the rotor. A stator is fixed to the housing.

A winding-start receiving groove in which a winding-start lead wire of a field coil is received is formed in an inner surface of a flange of an insulation bobbin. A holder is disposed on the flange and located on a radially outer side of the winding-start receiving groove. The holder is formed with a holder groove located on an extension line of the winding-start receiving groove and extending at an angle relative to a radial direction of the insulation bobbin. The winding-start lead wire of the field coil is received in the winding-start receiving groove and the holder groove and held by the holder.

The stepping motor includes a rotor assembly including a rotating shaft and a magnetic steel sheathed outside the rotating shaft and a number of stator assemblies. The stator assembly spacing is sheathed outside the rotor assembly. The stator assembly includes a fixed claw pole around the periphery of the rotor assembly and a coil on the fixed claw pole.
