Hello Everyone,
An Irish company named Steorn has launched a new motor technology. It is very unique in that it uses toroid stators and does not experience back EMF. They have posted a video of a "talk" in which they perform experiments on their motor.
Introduction to an Orbo Electromagnetic Interaction - Part 1
They claim that it can achieve over 100% efficiency. That may sound far fetched, but in the video they perform experiments that seem to indicate that it does not experience back EMF. For example, under load the current/voltage of the motor remains the same. They also claim that none of the electrical input that goes into the stators is actually transferred to the rotor and that the motion of the rotor is "free."
What's pretty interesting is that there are folks on Youtube and elsewhere replicating this motor and getting the same results!
Could this be a motor technology that could one day be used in aircraft?
Of course the development of this technology is in the early stages, but one day I could see applications in aircraft.
Just imagine being able to NEVER need fuel for your airplane!
