I know what a "motor" is and I know what "electric" means but I have no idea what an "electric axial flux motor" is. I'm pretty sure it's not what Doc Brown used to travel through time but it could be.

About once a week I think I'm too dumb to be on this site and today is that day. Off to duckduckgo to do some research.

Edit: it's actually pretty simple. Here is the wikipedia on them:

It could use some more diagrams, but it makes the gist of it pretty simple to understand.
