The joint venture Astemo, a collaboration between Hitachi and Honda, has developed a new motor for battery-electric vehicles ...

A Japanese joint venture between Hitachi, Honda and JIC Capital, has developed an electric motor for electric vehicles based ...

A synchronous and synchronous motors are the two main categories of ac motors. The induction motor is a common form of asynchronous motor and is basically an ac transformer with a rotating secondary.

Combining the advantages of permanent magnet and induction motors, new synchronous reluctance motors (SynRM) offer potentially breakthrough technology for variable speed drive (VSD) and motor packages ...

Synchronous motors have a stationary magnetic field relative to the rotor. Permanent magnets or field windings through slip rings create the field. Induction motors have a rotating magnetic field ...

Geothermal power offers a stable, continuous source of renewable energy that could help power millions of homes while reducing dependence on fossil fuels. As governments worldwide pursue ...

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 ...

Electric motors consume almost half of the electricity produced worldwide. They, in fact, provide the necessary driving force for much of today’s equipment. Motors, pumps, and fans are present in an ...
