Linear motors are becoming increasingly practical for general motion. Many are used for long strokes of a few feet or more. One new design, however, where the magnets move relative to a stationary ...

Never mind present-day’s bonny blather on the benefits of electric, hydrogen and biofuel power. How do you feel about magnets? Better make up your mind, stat; as of this morning, a company named ...

Did you know GM invented the domestic, affordable permanent magnet? Before this neodymium-iron-boron magnet came along in 1984, electric motors, generators, audio speakers, hard-disk drives, and the ...

Towards the end of July I read a post about how efficient AC induction motors are and that how using them and reducing their speed will help us all to reduce the green-house effect, save money and the ...

The energy-efficiency regulatory update scheduled for 2023 will affect builders of HVAC equipment, industrial fans, cooling towers and pumps, including those used in irrigation systems. The new ...

China controls about 90% of the entire global supply of rare earth magnets, including their mining and refining. That means that most of the neodymium, dysprosium, and terbium that end up in EV motors ...

In a world filled with high-tech robotics kits and programmable gadgets, one artist decided ...

Disc motors are permanent-magnet stepping motors that exhibit performance comparable to that of hybrid motors. Rotors in disc motors are thin (typically less than 1-mm) discs, unlike the cylindrical ...

GM and Niron have teamed up to pry the EV motor material supply chain away from China. Did you know GM invented the domestic, affordable permanent magnet? Before this neodymium-iron-boron magnet came ...
