US Patent 12113412 Gears for electric motor

An electric motor with multiple electric gears to achieve an effect equivalent to mechanical gears in transmissions, enabling more efficient use of electricity at a wider range of speeds and torques is described. The Gears for Electric Motor (GEM) comprises a multi-phase motor having a concentric set of dedicated rotors to specific ranges of revolutions per minute (RPMs), and corresponding stators. The rotors and stators may be fitted within each other or positioned approximately parallel to each other along the longitudinal axis of the motor shaft. A controller determines which rotors are activated based on desired efficiency, torque and speed. Alternately, or in addition, magnets and coil pairs are constructed with varying properties to make more efficient use of electricity at a wider range of speeds and torques.
