This Axial-Flux Motor With a PCB Stator Is Ripe for an Electrified World

Cars That Think

Although the idea of replacing a hunk of iron with a lightweight, ultrathin, easy-to-make, long-lasting PCB was attractive from the outset, it didn’t gain widespread adoption in its earliest applications inside lawn equipment and wind turbines a little over a decade ago. But in 2012 Boulder Wind Power put a PCB stator in a.
