THROUGHOUT history, humans have found ways to make their lives easier. Arguably, the machine that has most eased the burden of work for humans is the electric motor – a device that transforms ...

The science pros at TKOR demonstrate 4 easy magnet motors you can build at home today. Schumer calls Trump’s Penn Station renaming claim an "absolute lie" Sick of the polar vortex? Here's when warmer ...

Linear motors are becoming increasingly practical for general motion. Many are used for long strokes of a few feet or more. One new design, however, where the magnets move relative to a stationary ...

A Texas-based startup has raised US$4.5 million in seed funding to develop and commercialize a remarkable electric motor technology. The father/son team claims the design can massively reduce the size ...

Disc motors are permanent-magnet stepping motors that exhibit performance comparable to that of hybrid motors. Rotors in disc motors are thin (typically less than 1-mm) discs, unlike the cylindrical ...
