A rotary electric machine is composed of an armature core, an armature winding,
a rotor core disposed opposite said armature core, a rotary magnetic-flux source
for supplying first magnetic flux to the rotor core, a frame for supporting the
armature core and the rotor core and a stationary magnetic flux source, fixed to
the frame, for supplying second magnetic flux to the rotor core in a direction
to supplement the first magnetic flux.
