SYSTEM AND METHOD OF TURNING WHEELS IN ROTARY DEHUMIDIFYING SYSTEMS AND AIR ENERGY RECOVERY FOR AIR A system for and method of rotating a transfer wheel that provides heat and / or moisture exchange between two countercurrent air currents. The system comprises: a frame; a transfer wheel including a transfer matrix mounted and rotationally fixed in relation to the frame so that the wheel can rotate through the two currents in countercurrent and heat and / or humidity can be transferred between the two currents in countercurrent; and a first plurality of motor components fixedly mounted with respect to the wheel so that components of the first plurality function as a rotor of a motor, and a second plurality of motor components fixedly mounted with respect to the frame so that components of the second plurality function as a motor stator; wherein energy supplied to engine components of the second plurality causes the transfer wheel to rotate through the two countercurrent air currents.
