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 infirnitely 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 build around the same design, such that the motor is essentially stackable for higher power. Electric generators are used in turbines, windmills, stationary power, hybrid cars, etc. – they are the heart of the worldwide electric grid.

Collaboration

Review of Project Status

Start with some dullish background. Move onto real people involved in the industry - such as Hi-Torque Electric. Move over to advanced electrical generator options, such as bladeless turbines. Include open source motor controls, such as 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.

Presently, we are seeking to identify someone working on open source electric motors.
