BACKGROUND

Electric motors and generators function with moving mechanical parts. Due to the presence of moving parts, there is significant potential for electric motors and generators to malfunction and/or degrade. Replacement of broken parts, including magnetic cores, can be cumbersome and costly due to the act of disassembling various motor components to reach a faulty component.

SUMMARY

In one embodiment, a system can comprise a first singular structure comprising a first member and a second member and a second singular structure comprising a third member and a fourth member. The first member and the second member can intersect at an angle less than 180 degrees as can the third member and the fourth member. The first member and the third member can be configured to align together to form part of a magnetic core and to be at least partially surrounded by a coil to convert an energy.

In another embodiment, a motor can comprise a first singular structure comprising a first member and a second member. The motor also can comprise a second singular structure comprising a third member and a fourth member. Additionally, the motor can comprise a coil and a rotor comprising a magnet at a first edge. The first member and the second member can intersect at an angle significantly less than 180 degrees as can the third member and the fourth member. The first member and the third member can be configured to align together to form part of a magnetic core and can be configured to be at least partially surrounded by the coil. The first singular structure and the second singular structure can be configured to be removed from the magnetic core without disassembling another magnetic core of the motor. Application of a voltage across the coil can cause an electric current to flow through the coil and produce a magnetic flux such that the rotor rotates to convert an electrical energy into a mechanical energy.

In yet another embodiment, a generator can comprise a first singular structure comprising a first member and a second member. The generator can also comprise a second singular structure comprising a third member and a fourth member. In addition, the generator can comprise a coil and a rotor comprising a magnet at a first edge. The first member and the second member can intersect at an angle significantly less than 180 degrees as can the third member and the fourth member. The first member and the third member can be configured to align together to form part of a magnetic core and can be configured to be at least partially surrounded by the coil. The first singular structure and the second singular structure can be configured to be removed from the magnetic core without disassembling another magnetic core of the generator. The rotor can be configured to rotate to cause a magnetic flux, which produces an electric current that generates a voltage across the coil such that mechanical energy of the rotor rotation is converted into electrical energy as the voltage (e.g., the rotor can be configured to rotate to cause a time varying magnetic flux pass through an aligned magnetic core to induce a voltage across the coil such that mechanical energy of the rotor rotation is converted into electrical energy as the voltage across the coil).
