The quest for energy efficient electric motors has generated a lot of interesting ideas. One of the latest is said to push the efficiency of induction motors to better than super-premium levels by ...

Article 445 of the National Electrical Code (NEC) provides the electrical installation requirements that apply specifically to generators. A generator is basically a motor that is driven by a motive ...

What happens if you run an electric motor backwards? In short, it stops being a motor and becomes a generator. Following this principle, researchers at the University of Southampton have built a new ...

Today, most electric machines operate with radial flux (RF). Magnax offers a new concept, though—a machine that operates with axial flux (AF). Figure 1 provides a comparison of the RF and AF ...

To meet the demand for drive motors / generators needed for hybrid vehicles, engineers at Remy International Inc. designed a line of off-the-shelf devices that are said to have the highest ...

Plug-in electric vehicles for passengers continue to become more mainstream within the automotive market, and the shift in that direction shows no signs of slowing down. In fact, Bloomberg New Energy ...

Figure 8 depicts an electrical vehicle climbing an incline moving forward (top) or in reverse (bottom). When the vehicle rolls downhill it will turn the motor pressed by the force of gravity so the ...

As COVID-19 is increasingly emphasizing the importance of contactless services more than ever, the smartization in the logistics industry is taking place as well. In the meantime, a research team in ...
