Silnik reluktancyjny z toczącym się wirnikiem dyskowym

The article describes construction and operational principles of rolling disc – shape rotor switched reluctance motor. In first part of the article, rotor kinematics and special mechanical properties are described. Few methods of control are also presented. The second part of article consist magnetic calculations (which were done with Vector FieldsŽ Opera 3D software) as a way to find the optimal construction parameters and control algorithm. In the third part of the article author describes results of tests of drive system with prototype motor.
