Permanent magnet motor with passively controlled variable rotor/stator alignment

An electric motor includes: a first and second subsystems, one of which is a magnetic rotor assembly and the other of which is a coil stator assembly; a hub assembly supporting the magnetic rotor assembly and the coil stator assembly and defining an axis of rotation; and a bearing assembly supporting at least one of the first and second subsystems on the hub assembly, wherein the first subsystem has an array of lift-generating elements for generating axially directed magnetic fields, the second subsystem has an electrically conductive region aligned with and opposite to the array of lift-generating elements of the first subsystem, and wherein the bearing assembly enables the magnetic rotor assembly to rotate about the rotational axis of the hub assembly and enables the separation distanceof the magnetic rotor assembly from the coil stator assembly to change. 一种电动机，包括：第一子系统和第二子系统，所述第一子系统和所述第二子系统中的一个为磁转子组件，并且所述第一子系统和所述第二子系统中的另一个为线圈定子组件；毂组件，所述毂组件支撑所述磁转子组件和所述线圈定子组件并限定旋转轴线；以及轴承组件，所述轴承组件将所述第一子系统和所述第二子系统中的至少一个支撑在所述毂
