Scientists have constructed a high-resolution 3D model that shows what happens when a bacterial motor switches directions.

A motor — or a generator — requires some normal magnets and some electromagnets. The usual arrangement is to have a brushed commutator that both powers the electromagnets and switches t… ...

X-Bow is disrupting the aerospace industry with innovative and cost-effective 3D printed energetics in the solid rocket motor and launch vehicle market.

While the all-wheel drive Blazer EV also gets a rear induction motor, the rear-wheel drive model, powered by the larger, 102-kWh battery, gets a permanent-magnet synchronous rear motor instead.

Nidec Corporation (TSE: 6594; OTC US: NJDCY) (the “Company” or “Nidec”) announced today that it has launched for the US market SynRA (Synchronous Reluctance Motor with Aluminum Cage Rotor), the ...

That motor is a permanent magnet synchronous reluctance motor, and it's both more efficient and more powerful than the induction motor that used to sit at the front of Models S and X. Total system ...
