How to compute flux linkages of a coil, using the results of 2D finite element analysis. Nice to know information, with occasional professional uses.
Evaluation of the Linear Labs HET motor
Linear Labs – have been making quite sizable waves in the recent year or so. But how revolutionary is their HET motor, really?
Pole count – The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly
Electric motors come with various number of poles. But why is that the case, and what are the benefits and drawbacks of an increased number?
Shear Stress versus Lorentz Force
Why two popular torque formulas, based on Lorentz force and magnetic shear stress, are in fact the SAME formula and thus yield identical results.
Axial-Flux Machines – Part 2
How does the peak torque capacity of an axial-flux motor compare to radial-flux. Read here to find out, kinda.

SRM vs SynRM – Important Dimensions
What are the most important dimensions for switched and synchronous reluctance motors? The same ones as for all motors, luckily – click for details!
A.I. and Electrical Machines
Hypehypehypehypehypehypehypehypehype Alright, let’s be serious. Interest in machine learning is booming. (And I refuse to use the term artificial intelligence or AI – there’s nothing intelligent in being able to do a very tightly defined task quite well). Anyways, I’ve gotten some…
