Original Abstract Submitted
a cellular magnetic energy storage component can include a plurality of magnetic core segments each having at least one winding disposed about at least a portion thereof; and at least one common magnetic core segment. the plurality of magnetic core segments and the at least one common magnetic core segment can be joined such that there is an air gap between a portion of each of the plurality of magnetic core segments and the common magnetic core segment; and magnetic flux in the at least one common magnetic core segment induced by one or more of the at least one windings substantially cancels a corresponding magnetic flux in the common magnetic core segment induced by one or more other at least one windings. the cellular magnetic energy storage component can be an inductor or a flyback transformer.
