As is ever the case with engineering design, the primary trade-offs occur between power (energy), performance (efficiency), and area (miniaturization). While this is especially true in designing ...

What You’ll Learn: The origins of Permanent Magnet Brushless DC motors (PMDC). How the efficiency of electric motors increases as you increase the number of phases. How to optimally control stators as ...

ACROSS Asia’s industrial plants, ageing turbines are making it more challenging to keep production running smoothly while transitioning to lower-carbon operations. These massive facilities, some built ...

If you accidently touched an electrical motor as soon as it had stopped rotating at high speed, you would burn your fingers. But if the motor was made from a special kind of material known as an ...

It’s tough to make a splash in a business as mature as AC electric industrial motors. But that’s exactly what Siemens, the German-based industrial giant, is hoping to do with a new line of ...

Learn about how UT Austin physicists are using human muscles to design more efficiently designed robots. Physicists at The University of Texas at Austin have discovered that mimicking human muscles ...

Electric motors have only one moving part, but a look into the three types and how each works proves they are far from simple ...

Electric motor power output, battery size, weight, and aerodynamics are all factors that affect an EV’s overall range. But the answer to building a long-range EV isn't as simple as plopping in a big ...

That’s when new DOE minimum efficiency requirements kick in for both medium- voltage dry-type and liquidfilled transformers and induction motors. That’s a lot of transformers and motors. Approximately ...

With the internal combustion engine (ICE) being a staple of multiple forms of transportation since the late 19th century, most people are at least somewhat familiar with how an engine works: fuel and ...
