The internal combustion engine is found in traditional cars as the main traction element disappears and is replaced by new solutions, with electric motor and batteries at the center of the scene. This ...

Researchers at UNSW have developed a new type of motor that spins, not with rigid components, but with a droplet of liquid ...

Hyundai has recently provided an enlightening explanation of how electric vehicle (EV) motors operate, simplifying complex engineering concepts into digestible insights. This comprehensive guide, ...

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 can be found in most types of machinery. Here we examine some of the common myths about their selection, operation, and future. The purpose of an electric motor is to convert ...

Selection of replacement motors is usually straightforward if the ratings are equivalent. Sometimes, however, a different type of motor is necessary or desirable. For success in these cases, it is ...

Most of the electric motors we see these days are of the electromagnetic variety, and for good reason: they’re powerful. But there’s a type of motor that was invented before the electromagnetic one, ...

Electrostatic motors are now common in MEMS applications, but researchers at the University of Wisconsin and spinoff C-Motive Technologies have brought macroscale electrostatic motors back. [via ...
