Linear Labs closes $4.5M seed round to fund commercialization of new electric motor technology

Green Car Congress

The data has shown that the Linear Labs (LL) configuration is capable of producing nearly 100% more torque and continuous power than its commercial counterparts within the same frame size and geometrical envelope. With virtually no end windings, the LL machine allows for reduced copper losses. kW/kg respectively, at a base speed of 3000 RPM.

They found that ionic hydrogen is evolved on the surface of the AC throughout the interior of the macro-scale electrode and nanoscale AC particle interior which, when the electrode potential is increased during cell discharge, is oxidized which causes a “pseudo-capacitive” effect, Seymour said. While emerging new converters.
