PCT No. PCT/GB94/02821 Sec. 371 Date Apr. 13, 1998 Sec. 102(e) Date Apr. 13, 1998 PCT Filed Dec. 23, 1994 PCT Pub. No. WO95/17779 PCT Pub. Date Jun. 29, 1995An electrical machine, such as an electric motor, dynamo or alternator has a casing (26) with cooling vents (64) enabling cooling fluid (F) to flow into and out of the casing when the rotor (10) of the electrical machine rotates. The rotor (10) may be formed from conductive elements (44) connected together at their outer regions by inter-connecting members (40) which have vanes (68, 70) arranged to direct cooling fluid over the outer regions. Each conductive element (44) is a metal strip (45) with legs (46, 48) bent in opposite directions (D1, D2) relative to the plane of the strip. Portions of the windings (28, 30) of the rotor (10) are spaced apart to allow fluid to flow between the windings to enhance the cooling effect. With a current carrying rotor, the magnetic field intensity across the rotor is varied by varying the axial separation of the rotor and the stator (74, 76).
