Early incarnations of the electric motor first appeared in the 1740s through the work of Scottish Benedictine monk and scientist, Andrew Gordon. Other scientists such as Michael Faraday and Joseph ...

Induction machines are widely shunned for EV propulsion because of their lower peak efficiency and larger volume and mass. DSD has set out to explore the viability of a high efficiency high specific ...

Toachieve systems design goals, where motors are involved, of increasedefficiency and improved power density, along with lower noise and variablespeed operating capability, technologies beyond ...

Almost every electric vehicle on the road runs a permanent magnet synchronous motor. Magnets made from rare-earth elements sit in the rotor and produce the magnetic field the motor turns against. They ...
