Axial Flux Induction Motor For Hybrid Together With Electrical Cars [Video]
EV Powertrain start-up Evans Electric is rumoured to endure working on only about interesting electrical vehicle projects.
The Sydney based squad bring developed a world-first copper rotor axial flux induction motor for automotive applications. The patent pending pattern has torque density on par alongside comparable axial air gap synchronous motors but without the expense of rare-earth permanent magnets.
Disc-shaped Axial flux motors are steadily making inroads into electrical vehicle powertrains alongside Renault, Koenigsegg as well as Bugatti all looking to contain them into hereafter models.
Evans Electric were too rumoured to bring been hired past times an OEM to help develop the architecture of a serial hybrid powertrain based on in-board AFIMs alongside all-wheel-drive torque vectoring powered past times a supercapacitor / li-ion battery unloosen energy storage system. Cutting border stuff!
No tidings on which OEMs caput these projects but they are believed to endure European Union headquartered.
