I am trying to find examples of closed manifolds $M$ admitting a nowhere vanishing closed one form. I am wondering if there are any examples beyond $Ntimes S^1$.

          If $f: M to S^1$ is a submersion (and so a fiber bundle if $M$ is compact) then $f^*dtheta$ is a nowhere-vanishing closed 1-form. There are many more such manifolds and fibrations than just products, and the manifolds have the name mapping tori.



          If $(M,omega)$ is a manifold equipped with a nowhere vanishing closed 1-form, then in fact there is a fibration over the circle $f: M to S^1$ so that $f^*dtheta$ is arbitrarily close to $omega$. This is a theorem of Tischler, whose short proof can be read here.
