Patent attributes
A dual-rotor electric rotating machine includes a stator and first and second rotors that are arranged with the stator interposed therebetween. The stator includes a stator core, at least one stator winding and a stator core support. The at least one stator winding is formed of a plurality of electric conductor segments each of which is substantially U-shaped to have a base and a pair of end portions. The electric conductor segments are received in slots of the stator core so that the end portions of the electric conductor segments are located on the same side of the stator core as the stator core support and the bases of the electric conductor segments are located on the opposite side of the stator core to the stator core support. Each corresponding pair of the end portions of the electric conductor segments are electrically connected with each other.
