V. CONCLUSIONS
A unique patented topology for a low-speed, high-torque
electrical machine has been developed, and its performance
capabilities have been validated experimentally. It exhibits
the highest torque density of any known electrical machine
technology, whilst at the same time having a high power
factor, and has enormous application potential. There is
also potential to further enhance the performance
capabilities of pseudo direct-drive machines.
