To visualize a radial flux motor, think of two iron cylinders. One is fitted with magnets set around its outside and an axle running through its center (the rotor). Surrounding this cylinder is a ...

Koenigsegg has just revealed the details on its new electric motor. Called the Quark, it’s an entirely new design for automotive motors, packing 335 hp and 443 lb-ft of torque in an amazingly compact ...

When people check all the new electric cars for sale, they may think that EVs are a finished product with minor improvements. Koenigsegg is happy to correct them with its latest announcement: an ...

Today, most electric machines operate with radial flux (RF). Magnax offers a new concept, though—a machine that operates with axial flux (AF). Figure 1 provides a comparison of the RF and AF ...

The rise of axial-flux motors. Motor theory versus practice. Scalability of axial- and radial-flux motors. The future motor split. Many technologies have played a role in the electric-vehicle (EV) ...

Mercedes is betting big on axial flux electric motors for its future electric AMG performance vehicles — but don't expect the tech to be limited to low-production products from Affalterbach. What are ...

Tesla was first to patent a primitive axial-flux electric motor—Nikola Tesla, that is, way back in 1889. It would be 126 years before the concept found its way to a car, the 1,500-horsepower (1,103 ...

Electric motors are the beating heart of any electric vehicle, and thanks to a startup in Belgium, your next EV’s motor could be stronger, smaller and more efficient. Magnax is hard at work developing ...

In the everything old is new again folder, [Lesics] has a good overview of axial flux motors. These are promising for electric vehicles, especially aircraft, since the motors should have high torque ...

Evolito has new financial backing to advance its plans for the electric aviation sector, where it believes the superior power density of its electric propulsion units will be transformative in ...
