There’s great potential in salvaging a motor from a broken appliance, but so often the part in question is very specific to its application, presenting a puzzle of wires to the experimenter. This was ...

Since AC induction motors have been established as the preferred choice for industrial motors and the need for reduced power in all aspects of design is ever present, the efficiency of these motors is ...

Linear induction motors (LIMs) are specialised electromagnetic machines that convert electrical energy directly into linear force, thereby eliminating the intermediary rotary step inherent in ...

Although an increasing interest and use of Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motors (PMSM) can be observed during the last decade, the standard 3-phase Induction Motor (IM) is still the most widely used ...

Apple is working on a three-phase AC induction motor suitable for an Apple Car, implementing the same basic engineering and motor design principles that Tesla uses. Titled "Electric motor with bar ...

What consumes more than half of the world's electricity and supports nearly every facet of industrial production? The answer is the AC induction motor. Although these motors typically tolerate ...

Induction machines are widely shunned for EV propulsion because of their lower peak efficiency and larger volume and mass. DSD has set out to explore the viability of a high efficiency high specific ...

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.
