"Follow The King of Random for more exciting experiments, life hacks, and creative science projects. From crazy builds to fun DIY ideas, we test wild concepts and bring science to life in unexpected ...

We recently published an article on the Power Electronics with the headline, “Unique Motor Uses Only Permanent Magnets – No Electric Power Required.” We received a firestorm of criticism that this ...

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 ...

By removing rare earths from the equation, these designs promise cleaner supply chains and more sustainable production.

Linear motors are becoming increasingly practical for general motion. Many are used for long strokes of a few feet or more. One new design, however, where the magnets move relative to a stationary ...

Driven by variable-frequency drives, the Gen2.0 PremiumPlus+™ brushless permanent magnet motors have motor-only rated point efficiencies of 93 percent and 92 percent for 3- and 5-hp versions ...

The science experimenters at TKOR build several small motors powered by magnets to demonstrate basic electromagnetic motion.

When you think of who invented the induction motor, Nikola Tesla and Galileo Ferraris should come to mind. Though that could be a case of the squeaky wheel being the one that gets the grease. Those ...
