Combining the advantages of permanent magnet and induction motors, new synchronous reluctance motors (SynRM) offer potentially breakthrough technology for variable speed drive (VSD) and motor packages ...

How the switched reluctance motor's (SRM) architecture eliminates the need for magnets and rotor windings. Why SRMs are some of the most rugged and cost-effective motor technologies available. A look ...

Robert Sansone is a natural born engineer. From animatronic hands to high-speed running boots and a go-kart that can reach speeds of more than 70 miles per hour, the Fort Pierce, Florida-based ...

Continuing headlines about superefficient electric drives might lead some observers to wonder about the future of three-phase induction motors. The truth is that induction motors aren’t going away any ...

Nidec Corporation (TSE: 6594; OTC US: NJDCY) (the “Company” or “Nidec”) announced today that it has launched for the US market SynRA (Synchronous Reluctance Motor with Aluminum Cage Rotor), the ...

"Even though electric vehicles might help us in transition away from fossil fuels, they also create these new problems in terms of polluting and often unstable supply chains.” When I started my video ...

When was the last time you stopped to think about how electric cars actually work? We superfans of the car biz have mostly developed a reasonable understanding of how combustion powertrains work. Most ...

Engineers have several choices to make when selecting brushless motors for their latest designs. Making the wrong choice can doom the design to mediocrity and failure in the marketplace. So to ensure ...
