With its Hunstable Electric Turbine, Linear Labs promises three times the torque, twice the power and a 10% increase in range in an electric vehicle over a typical permanent magnet motor. One problem ...

Performance on the road is crucial in choosing a vehicle, whether for personal or business use. Vehicles rely on speed, power, precision, and control to perform at their best; and these are made ...

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 ...

Electronic preloading of rack-and-pinion drives yields backlash-free motion with minimal friction, improving precision and efficiency. • Rack-and-pinion actuators can have accelerations and speeds ...

To run a stepper motor smoothly, it's necessary to apply linear acceleration. However, conventional algorithms to generate linear acceleration require complicated mathematics, which makes it difficult ...

In the “old days,” cars were rear-wheel drive (RWD), which meant that the engine sent its power and torque to the two back wheels through the transmission and driveshaft. However, that started to ...

During a recent conversation with an experienced engine builder I realized we'd not recently discussed the importance of, reasons why and areas of concern about proper engine component integration.

Horsepower and torque are the primary measurements of a drivetrain's power. Horsepower, for whatever reason, gets the notoriety and establishes the bragging rights. Yes, more horses mean more power, ...

A combination of theory and behavioral findings support a role for internal models in the resolution of sensory ambiguities and sensorimotor processing. Although the cerebellum has been proposed as a ...
