A brushless electrical machine, usable as a motor, generator, or alternator, has a rotor that is comprised of a rim portion and a substantially open center portion. The rim portion has a partially hollow core in which a stationary field coil is supported. Current to the field coil generates magnetic flux that circulates in a poloidal flux path in the rim, crossing a single magnetic air gap formed by the rim. Protrusions in the rim located around the circumference form poles all having the same polarity. As the rotor rotates, the flux exiting the poles passes through multiple stationary armature windings around the circumference that are located in the single air gap. An AC voltage is induced in the armature windings from rotation.
