PNNL, Magna demonstrate feasibility of using ShAPE with secondary aluminum for auto components

Green Car Congress

The Department of Energy’s Pacific Northwest National Laboratory has been developing the Shear Assisted Processing and Extrusion ( ShAPE ) process ( earlier post ) to enable more cost- and energy-efficient production of high-strength structures from metals and metal alloys for a number of years, with application to a range of different metals.

Different types of motors used in Electric vehicle

Baua Electric

The primary types of electric motors used in EVs are: Brushed DC Motors: Operation: In a brushed DC motor, electricity flows through brushes and a commutator, which cause the rotor (armature) to rotate. It reverses the direction of the electric current in the rotor windings, ensuring continuous rotation.

SuperTurbo Technologies Inc. appoints Ricardo to support product industrialization

Green Car Congress

Instead of relying on direct contact of gear teeth, the traction drive utilizes a NASA-developed technology of smooth rollers that transmit torque through a special traction fluid and can operate at very high rotational speeds.

Honda R&D partners with Autodesk to use AM and generative design to reduce weight of crankshaft

Green Car Congress

For example, its shape must be able to withstand combustion pressures, and the rotational balance must be maintained. —Hirosumi Todaka, a mechanical and fluid machinery designer at Honda R&D’s advanced technology lab. I think it is up to us to research further applications for this technology as part of our work.

GOES is used in static machinery such as transformers, which require unidirectional magnetization, while NOES is used in rotating machinery such as motors and generators, which require multidirectional magnetization. The critical difference between the different motor types is in the NOES grade being used.
