Electric vehicle production scaling would not be possible with all the scarce and expensive materials used today. A 17-year-old boy has a solution to the problem, designing an electric motor that ...

When was the last time you stopped to think about how electric cars actually work? We superfans of the car biz have mostly developed a reasonable understanding of how combustion powertrains work. Most ...

The basic operating principles of SynRM machines. The advantages SynRM machines offer over switched reluctance motors. How the latest advances in SynRM design are steadily improving the motors’ ...

[Robert Sansone] is a 17-year-old from Florida and, like most of us, he likes to tinker. He’s apparently got the time for it because he’s completed at least 60 projects ranging from animatronic hands ...

Continuing headlines about superefficient electric drives might lead some observers to wonder about the future of three-phase induction motors. The truth is that induction motors aren’t going away any ...

In the previous article, we had a look at the history of motors and their application in early EVs, both on land and water. From the late 19th century onwards, motor technology improved, especially AC ...

This concept, developed by Tula Technologies and which we covered in depth a few years back, intriguingly can be applied to electric motors—which use neither spark plugs nor valves—and could unlock ...
