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 ...

Earlier this month we looked at the Flying Whales airship, a hugely ambitious project if ever there was one. A small but critical piece of that floating puzzle, the Evolito axial flux motor – or all ...

The axial flux electric motor pioneers at YASA are at it again. Just three months after sending tremors through the electric motor market with an unofficial world-record power density that absolutely ...

Mercedes-Benz provided a flight from DC to San Diego and a return from Los Angeles, plus four nights’ hotels so we could meet the Vision One-Eleven as well as drive a new Mercedes-AMG plug-in hybrid ...

Lamborghini has once again pushed the boundaries of automotive innovation with the Tamario, a hybrid supercar that integrates three innovative axial flux motors developed by Yasa. These motors, ...

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 ...

YASA has once again raised the bar for electric motor performance. Just months after claiming an unofficial world record with a 42kW/kg power density motor, the UK-based axial flux specialist has now ...

At first glance, it looks like something you’d find inside a washing machine. Flat, round, and small enough to hold in one hand, this silver disk isn’t what most people imagine when they think of a ...

What sets axial- and radial-flux electric motors apart? The pros and cons of axial flux and radial flux in serving the surging global electric-motor market demand. As the world rapidly electrifies, ...

Three months after declaring an unofficial world record achievement in power density for an electric motor, YASA’s latest axial flux prototype has shattered that previous benchmark. The axial flux ...

Any enthusiast will be able to tell you the seat-of-the-pants characteristics of their favorite engine. The torque-peakiness of an Eighties turbo car, the endless rev-hungry climb of a naturally ...

Selecting a motor for a specific application can be a challenging task. Many factors must be considered, including the application’s required voltage, maximum current and diameter, speed, efficiency, ...
