A new motor design really has eliminated the need to have expensive and very rare magnets. This means that the whole thing is much more recyclable and the best of it is, it has been developed in the UK. Those who work in mechanical engineer jobs will find this incredibly interesting. This motor technology is being presented by the company this week and it is being done in Japan. They also have the support of the Advanced Propulsion Centre and this is designed to work well in hybrid, electric vehicles and more.

When you look at conventional traction motors, you will soon see that they are based on rare magnets and this makes them very expensive. You need to remove these magnets before you go on to recycle them but there are also concerns as to the availability of the supply as well. If you are starting to consider electric vehicles then it makes sense for companies to try and eliminate this problem so that the cars themselves can be made in much larger volumes.

There are also drawbacks to using these magnets as well, and one example is that the temperature is a problem. When the temperature reaches around 150 degrees for example, the magnet can demagnetise and in hybrid vehicles, this can be a problem considering the fact that the engine can easily reach 100 degrees.

If you are able to eliminate the need for a new magnet then you can easily integrate it with the internal combustion engine and this helps to share the coolant. The powertrain for the vehicle is then simplified and the technology has also been switched on a reluctant motor as well. This is a motor where the power is split into windings in the stator rather than in the rotor but the device has a completely different consideration.
