We recently published an article on the Power Electronics with the headline, “Unique Motor Uses Only Permanent Magnets – No Electric Power Required.” We received a firestorm of criticism that this ...

By removing rare earths from the equation, these designs promise cleaner supply chains and more sustainable production.

A number of readers questioned the veracity of the technology presented in this article. To address their concerns, we did a follow-up, which can be found here. Permanent magnets are an integral part ...

Explore the fascinating world of perpetual motion through a deep dive into magnet motors. This video unveils the science and theories behind building a perpetual motion machine and magnet motor, ...

Mini USA looks set to take a world lead in fuel efficiency with its April 1st announcement. It's no April Fools joke, but they gave information on its new magnetic propulsion system that will extend ...

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

Emil Motors was founded by engineers Maximilian Güttinger and Johannes Unhold with the objective of redesigning the electric motor to eliminate reliance on rare earth materials while maintaining ...

Motors play key roles in many motion-control functions across a multitude of industries, from packaging, food and beverage, and manufacturing to medical and robotics. Engineers can choose from several ...

This study focuses on the direct-drive ultrasonic resonant motors called PILine ® motors. Their direct-drive design enables ultra-low response times and highly precise positioning without any backlash ...

In 1960, the large-angle type PM step motor was the most used step motor. This two-phase, bifilar wound PM step motor (top) advanced 45° mechanical with each pulse from the drive, while by 1962 PM ...
