Mercedes is betting big on axial flux electric motors for its future electric AMG performance vehicles — but don’t expect the tech to be limited to low-production products from Affalterbach. First, a ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. Last year YASA, a British electric motor startup with a revolutionary “axial-flux” motor, was acquired by Mercedes-Benz to develop ...

With fuel costs rising and hybrid adoption accelerating across industries, original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) face a critical challenge to integrate more powerful electric systems into ...

Tesla was first to patent a primitive axial-flux electric motor—Nikola Tesla, that is, way back in 1889. It would be 126 years before the concept found its way to a car, the 1,500-horsepower (1,103 ...

Electric vehicles are heavy, but have you heard they’re fast, too? Automakers are barking up the wrong tree when it comes to what enthusiasts want. Lightweight electric roadsters and sports cars just ...

Today, most electric machines operate with radial flux (RF). Magnax offers a new concept, though—a machine that operates with axial flux (AF). Figure 1 provides a comparison of the RF and AF ...

To visualize a radial flux motor, think of two iron cylinders. One is fitted with magnets set around its outside and an axle running through its center (the rotor). Surrounding this cylinder is a ...

An axial flux electric motor from Yasa set a new unofficial power density record. The working prototype weighs just 28 pounds but makes more power than two Tesla Model 3 Performance EVs combined. The ...

In the everything old is new again folder, [Lesics] has a good overview of axial flux motors. These are promising for electric vehicles, especially aircraft, since the motors should have high torque ...

Electric motors are the beating heart of any electric vehicle, and thanks to a startup in Belgium, your next EV’s motor could be stronger, smaller and more efficient. Magnax is hard at work developing ...
