Recent patent disclosures indicate that BYD has strengthened its work on variable-flux permanent-magnet synchronous ...

Compromise is key to keeping a team humming along. Say one person wants an inrunner electric motor, and the other prefers ...

While electric vehicles certainly offer a host of eco-friendly advantages, they're not without some asterisks, one being the rare earth materials (and harmful mining thereof) used to make the magnets ...

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 ...

Never mind present-day’s bonny blather on the benefits of electric, hydrogen and biofuel power. How do you feel about magnets? Better make up your mind, stat; as of this morning, a company named ...

The switch to a neodymium-intensive permanent magnet motor in a volume model like the Model 3 has some worried about long-term supply issues. Kyle Hyatt (he/him/his) hails originally from the Pacific ...

This study focuses on the direct-drive ultrasonic resonant motors called PILine ® motors. Their direct-drive design enables ultra-low response times and highly precise positioning without any backlash ...

Toyota says it has invented a new magnet for high-energy applications like electric motors that uses a fraction of the amount of neodymium (a rare-earth element) of a standard iron, boron, neodymium ...

With the internal combustion engine (ICE) being a staple of multiple forms of transportation since the late 19th century, most people are at least somewhat familiar with how an engine works: fuel and ...
