Brake-by-wire systems are becoming a core technology for intelligent electric vehicles, but their performance depends heavily ...

AC induction motors are widely used in industrial applications due to their reliability and low maintenance needs. Comprised of a stator and rotor, these motors convert electrical energy into ...

Despite the battery electric vehicle (BEV) market growing at a slower rate than in previous years, BEV sales will continue to rise, driven by the availability of more models and regulatory pressure.

Two great minds in permanent-magnet-free motor design are fusing their know-how to create an even more capable inductive electric motor. Mahle and Valeo have teamed up to introduce what they call the ...

Cars have been around for well over a century, though it didn't take them nearly that long to become ingrained in our everyday way of life. In short order, they became essential for commuting to work, ...

Somewhere in most engineering educations, there’s a class on induction motors. Students learn about shaded-pole motors, two-phase and three-phase motors, squirrel cage motors, and DC-excited motors.

Early incarnations of the electric motor first appeared in the 1740s through the work of Scottish Benedictine monk and scientist, Andrew Gordon. Other scientists such as Michael Faraday and Joseph ...

Nikesh Kooverjee has been contributing to the automotive sphere for 11 years. His previous roles include Digital Editor at CAR South Africa and associate editor at CarBuzz. He has always had a strong ...

Tesla will create a permanent magnet electric vehicle motor with zero rare earth elements in it, the company announced at its Investor Day today. Rare earth elements are a bone of contention in EV ...

Small and medium AC induction motors account for more than 75% of motor electrical energy demand; however, they typically receive less maintenance than their larger counterparts. This leaves them ...
