In an attempt to get around the voltage limitation, [Tom] built his own axial flux motor for the bike ... The controller for the DIY motor was not capable of doing regenerative braking, so ...
The lack of a yoke and locating the magnets away from the central axis result in higher power-to-weight ratios than equivalent radial flux motors. The EVOA E1 and Acel outboards use axial flux motors.
They are extremely efficient and well-suited to the task, but they have limitations. Axial flux motors could address many of their shortcomings, and General Motors has a plan to take some of the ...
The motor has six coils in the stator, with the rotor carrying eight neodymium magnets. It’s an axial flux design, with the rotor’s magnets sitting above the coils. This makes construction ...
New axial-flux traction motor ditches heavy iron and copper stator, slashing materials and energy consumption. Planet Earth is estimated to have consumed 25 petawatts (pW) of electricity in 2020.
