	Electric motors convert energy from kinetic to electrical (as in [[Wind Turbine\|wind turbines]]), or from electrical to kinetic (as in the spraying pump in the [[Freeze Dried Fruit Powders\|freeze dried fruit powder machine]]). We need a design that is infinitely scalable in power and speed. Thus, we could produce motors for all applications, from pumps, vaccuum pumps, to hybrid car wheel motors. The challenge is to produce a smart design, where a larger or smaller motor can be built around the same design, such that the motor is essentially stackable for higher power. Electric generators are used in [[Bladed Turbine\|turbines]], [[Wind Turbine\|windmills]], stationary power, hybrid electric vehicles, etc.		Electric motors convert energy from kinetic to electrical (as in [[Wind Turbine\|wind turbines]]), or from electrical to kinetic (as in the spraying pump in the [[Freeze Dried Fruit Powders\|freeze dried fruit powder machine]]).
