Postdoctoral researcher Jinsung Chun holds a thermo-magneto-electric generator, which uses magnets to dissipate heat from mechanical systems and turn it into useful electricity. Researchers at ...

Magnetic couplings transmit high torque with no physical contact, and they disengage smoothly when load gets too high. Generally speaking, the couplings use magnetic power in three different ways; ...

Scientific American is part of Springer Nature, which owns or has commercial relations with thousands of scientific publications (many of them can be found at www ...

There is a constant need and desire throughout the HVAC industry to spur innovation and create new products and ideas that can redefine the marketplace. In the realm of motors, the permanent magnet ...

Electric motors or wind turbines are driven by powerful permanent magnets. The most powerful ones are based on the rare earth elements neodymium and dysprosium. In future, a new process route will ...

IE5+ permanent-magnet synchronous motors  deliver constant high efficiency and torque over a wide speed range, reducing ...

Toyota says it has invented a new magnet for high-energy applications like electric motors that uses a fraction of the amount of neodymium (a rare-earth element) of a standard iron, boron, neodymium ...
