It took 100 years to come to fruition, but this recently created fluid enables non-magnetic electrostatic-based motors.

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 ...

Rare earth magnets are a crucial component of electric motors in an electric vehicle (EV). According to IDTechEx, rare earth permanent magnet motors have retained a greater than 75% market share since ...

Electric vehicles are pushing scientists to tackle one of the biggest hidden energy drains inside electric motors: magnetic energy loss. Now, researchers in Japan have developed a powerful AI-driven ...

Disc motors are permanent-magnet stepping motors that exhibit performance comparable to that of hybrid motors. Rotors in disc motors are thin (typically less than 1-mm) discs, unlike the cylindrical ...

Shortened overall lifespan: A motor rated for 20–30 years may fail in just 3–5 years, all because of an electrical supply ...
