An introduction to the play and stop hysterons.
Fluid Flux Barriers
Summary You may have come across the term ‘fluid flux barrier’, or ‘fluid barrier’, or in any case fluid-something, in the context of synchronous reluctance motors. I certainly have, on multiple occasions. In fact, I encountered the term multiple times…
Axial versus Radial Flux – First Principles
Which is better – axial or radial flux? The correct answer is complex and depends on a million things, but here’s a first-principles comparison.
Tesla’s ‘Carbon-Wrapped’ Motor
Tesla Model S Plaid will apparently have carbon fiber retaining sleeves in their motors. Here are some thoughts on what this might mean.
Mahle Magnet-Free Motor – First Impressions
Mahle’s new EV motor is marketed with being rare-earth free and wirelessly excited, but what is the reality? Here are some first thoughts and impressions.
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?
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.
