Electric vehicle production scaling would not be possible with all the scarce and expensive materials used today. A 17-year-old boy has a solution to the problem, designing an electric motor that ...

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 ...

A synchronous and synchronous motors are the two main categories of ac motors. The induction motor is a common form of asynchronous motor and is basically an ac transformer with a rotating secondary.

What if one innovation could redefine how industries consume energy, slashing waste and environmental impact while saving millions? Enter ABB’s new brushless synchronous motor, a technological marvel ...

Motors are machines that convert electrical energy into mechanical energy using magnetic forces. When current is passed through a wire loop that lies in a magnetic field, a turning force, or torque, ...

Tesla’s Model S is known for its long range, with the 100kWh version rated to travel 335 miles (540 km) between charges. On Tuesday, Tesla announced changes to the Model S drivetrain that boosted the ...

In this first installment of an Automation World series exploring automation technology developments, we take a closer look at motors, which are finding new ways to reach better performance. Energy ...
