Electric vehicles are heavy, but have you heard they’re fast, too? Automakers are barking up the wrong tree when it comes to what enthusiasts want. Lightweight electric roadsters and sports cars just ...

Axial-flux tech isn't just for EVs and hybrids—this sim racing wheel uses it to pack a lot of power into a small package. Thrustmaster has packaged the same technology found in many high-performance ...

An axial flux electric motor from Yasa set a new unofficial power density record. The working prototype weighs just 28 pounds but makes more power than two Tesla Model 3 Performance EVs combined. The ...

Tesla was first to patent a primitive axial-flux electric motor—Nikola Tesla, that is, way back in 1889. It would be 126 years before the concept found its way to a car, the 1,500-horsepower (1,103 ...

Mercedes-Benz has commenced large-scale production of its new electric axial flux motor at its Berlin-Marienfelde plant. With the launch of large-scale production of this revolutionary drive system ...

To visualize a radial flux motor, think of two iron cylinders. One is fitted with magnets set around its outside and an axle running through its center (the rotor). Surrounding this cylinder is a ...

Comparing the axial-flux motor with the radial-flux motor for EVs. Advantages of the "yokeless" axial-flux motor. Details of the YASA axial-flux motor topology. If you find yourself wondering about an ...

Mercedes is betting big on axial flux electric motors for its future electric AMG performance vehicles — but don’t expect the tech to be limited to low-production products from Affalterbach. What are ...

Less than two months after smashing its own (unofficial) record in power density with its proprietary axial flux motor, YASA has unveiled a real-world application of the technology as an in-wheel ...

Earlier this month we looked at the Flying Whales airship, a hugely ambitious project if ever there was one. A small but critical piece of that floating puzzle, the Evolito axial flux motor – or all ...

In the everything old is new again folder, [Lesics] has a good overview of axial flux motors. These are promising for electric vehicles, especially aircraft, since the motors should have high torque ...
