According to a statistic from the University of Chicago, 50 percent of U.S. power goes through a motor. Vehicles like cars and planes rely on motors to transform power, as do household appliances like ...

Engine efficiency has long been a subject for research and debate. As more and more researchers seek new ways to improve existing technologies, many are reimagining how things work—often as a combo of ...

Rare earth materials such as neodymium and dysprosium are crucial to the power and efficiency of the permanent magnets used ...

Ferrstron Powertrains road-tests a 150 kW ferrite-magnet motor using no rare earths, achieving 98% efficiency with innovative ...

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 ...

It took 100 years to come to fruition, but this recently created fluid enables non-magnetic electrostatic-based motors. Say the word “motor” to most engineers and they almost always associate it with ...

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 ...

Vimag Labs aims to scale up production of rare-earth-free electric motors at its Haryana facility, targeting ₹100 crore ...

We see our share of pitches for perpetual motion machines in the Hackaday tips line, and we generally ignore them and move along. And while this magnetic levitation motor does not break the laws of ...
