If you made a motor out of a magnet, a wire coil, and some needles, you probably remember that motors and generators depend on a rotating magnetic field. Once you know how it works, the concept is ...

Two great minds in permanent-magnet-free motor design are fusing their know-how to create an even more capable inductive electric motor. Mahle and Valeo have teamed up to introduce what they call the ...

Did you know GM invented the domestic, affordable permanent magnet? Before this neodymium-iron-boron magnet came along in 1984, electric motors, generators, audio speakers, hard-disk drives, and the ...

The incredible power of electric motors can only be matched by how difficult it is to make them. These things need magnets to work, and magnets are made from rare earth elements, which are difficult ...

Towards the end of July I read a post about how efficient AC induction motors are and that how using them and reducing their speed will help us all to reduce the green-house effect, save money and the ...

We've hinted at the impressive power output of the BMW iX M60 motor in our First Look, but its fifth-generation electric motor technology deserves its own examination. That's because it's both ...

Danfoss Power Solutions has announced the launch of its Editron EM-PMI180 low-voltage electric motor. The 48-volt synchronous ...
