Title: new yokeless axial flux topology motor
Post by: Richard230 on March 23, 2018, 08:09:37 PM
I am not familiar with the technology, but this new motor sounds promising, especially as it is shown installed in a (computer generated?) motorcycle:  :)  https://electricmotorcycles.news/belgian-startup-magnax-is-currently-working-on-a-new-generation-of-electric-motors/

But is it real or vaporware trolling for dollars?  It seems too good to believe and the video doesn't tell me much.  ???  I was particularly interested that they showed one of their motors installed in a motorcycle chassis, which appeared to be computer-generated to my eye.

Well, if I were building winches for operating a drawbridge, their demo video and specs seem aimed at that.

For motorcycles, it's obviously a conceptualized application and they're hoping it helps glamorize their company. I mean, they're more likely to start with enormous trucks that need slow speed, precise positioning, and lots of torque where they don't have to vary the design too much.

This is the same concept of the Agni motor, used on the 2010-11 Zero's.
