| Electric Motors/Generators (EMG) - they are everywhere, such as the spraying pump in the freeze dried fruit powder machine. Electric motors of interest also double as electric generators (dynamos). The design requirement is infinite scaleability in power and speed. Thus, we could produce motors for all applications, from pumps, vaccuum pumps, to hybrid car wheel motors. Crucial. 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 [[turbine]]s, [[windmill]]s, [[stationary power]], [[hybrid electric vehicle]]s, etc. – they are the heart of the worldwide electric grid.

| Start with some dullish [http://www.phys.unsw.edu.au/hsc/hsc/electric_motors.html background]. Move onto real people involved in the industry - such as [http://hitorqueelectric.com/contact/ Hi-Torque Electric]. Move over to advanced electrical generator options, such as [http://openfarmtech.org/index.php?title=Solar_Turbine_CHP_System#Component_Design_-_Boundary_Layer_Turbine_.28BLT.29 bladeless turbines]. Include open source motor controls, such as [http://www.robotpower.com/osmc_info/Open Source Motor Controller], but upgraded to full scaleability in voltage and power. There you have the context for electric motor development. Applications are many: hybrid electric cars and tractors, and dedicated electric motors for moving parts in advanced devices such as agricultural combines, with potential of significant simplification of mechanical devices.

| [[Category:Energy]] | | ==Detailed Description== |
| | Most electric motors operate through the interaction of magnetic fields and current-carrying conductors to generate force. The reverse process, producing electrical energy from mechanical energy, is done by generators such as an alternator or a dynamo; some electric motors can also be used as generators. |
| | |
| | The ideal [[GVCS]] motor is one that meets [[OSE Spec]] for appropriate scale and ease of fabrication. |
| | |
| | While many heavy-duty GVCS technologies are powered by [[Hydraulic Motors]], many of the smaller, more precision actuation is left to Electrical Motors. |
