Russia created a breakthrough electric motor without permanent magnets
Russian engineers from the company "Electric Transport Technology»Managed to create a valve-induction automobile electric motor, the efficiency of which is 15% higher than that of foreign counterparts. At the same time, domestic development is cheaper, which ultimately will affect the price of cars in which the aforementioned motor will be used.
The essence of the innovation is that Russian designers used a copper coil to create the magnetic field needed to set the wheels of the car in motion. In most modern synchronous electric motors, where permanent magnets are used, the conductor moves in a magnetic field, forming an oppositely directed force, which, in turn, reduces the current strength. To increase the latter, it is necessary to reduce the field of the permanent magnet, which requires additional energy, reducing the overall efficiency of such an engine.
In the Russian development, as mentioned above, a magnetic field is created by a coil through which current flows. The latter can be controlled by reducing voltage during acceleration and increasing for greater power without loss of efficiency.
In addition, this unit does not need complex cooling systems. It does not have permanent magnets that tend to demagnetize when overheating (reaching the Curie point) and drastically reduce engine power. Tests conducted by Russian engineers showed that the foreign analogue (with permanent magnets) ceases to function even at 100 ° C, while the domestic motor continues to work when heated at 150 °.
It is worth noting that innovation can find commercial application in the near future. The developer plans to launch production of unmanned trucks equipped with similar engines. Several of these machines are currently being tested by foreign companies.
