Can Axial Flux motor improve range and efficiency for EVs in the future 

Thanks for your comment I thought that it might be a good analogy to use

Thank you I am glad you found it useful

If you watch magnax video the Axial motor has more torque while radial has more power. Koenigsegg combined both into one. This should give you benefits of economy and acceleration. I would love to see this motor on Aptera

@@LatutaEV I contacted Elaphe, who will be building the Aptera's in-wheel motors, and they said that they had looked at using an axial design, but found the best balance between power and efficiency being in their radial in-wheel design. They did get a relatively lightweight motor as a result, with 67HP(50kW) and a whopping 516 ftlb (701 nm) of torque, and this power X 2 or 3 wheel motors in the Aptera's lightweight, aerodynamic body gets solid performance, and exceptional efficiency.

Thank you very much. Yes the next step either Tesla Small drive unit or GS450h. They are not cheap though 😉

Yes true but apparently that motor was designed by Yassa motors in uk

Thanks for the correction, I did check it before I was recording but didn't recite it correctly. I don't like myself when people give incorrect information, sorry

I would argue that one must address the limiting factor which is battery. There is even a channel on RU-vid with the same name. But batteries are a hard problem to tackle I suppose you may pick low hanging fruit if you can

In theory it should be possible I know that some axial flux motors require faster switching speeds so IGBTs may be not fast enough but I suspect that it may be possible. You almost reading my mind with your question. 😉 And thank you for mentioning EMRAX as I have not heard about them before

Yes amazing isn't it ...

Yes the work goes on, I am trying to get batteries and more videos are coming. I love E30 I wish they were not that expensive I could get one to do a conversion ☺️

@@LatutaEV you actually inspired me to do the conversion I was originally going with a corvette ls . E30 are getting expensive nowadays 🥲 but I lucky got mine from s friend that did not want it . And funny enough they are light . Perfect for this kinda swap .

@@deepw3bs I am glad that you decided to have a go. This could be a nice conversion ☺️

@@LatutaEV well you inspired me to make it possible I’ll definitely try to make a video about and recommend people to check out your guide

Yes it's amazing isn't it. I knew that he made hybrid but I didn't know it was axial motor

@@LatutaEV a very special motor and 3-phase commutator design was used which was developed by Nicola Tesla. The rotor had an electromagnetic excitation. Electromagnetic excitation is under consideration today in order to avoid permanent magnet material and to vary the back EMF to get better efficiencies for the whole motor speed range.

@@gkdresden But Tesla seems sticking with permanent magnets but trying to move away from rare earth magnets

I recommend watching ac induction and DC induction motor videos

I don't know what the price is for the motor. I am not even sure if they are selling to anyone.

Well you have very futuristic view on this but yes that is something that could be implemented. I am not a fan of in-wheel motors. Big unsprung weight is not a good idea

I don't think this is intentional just a graphic not perfect

Hey you need to watch my video about BYD Blade battery😜

Yes that would be cool. Or one motor for each wheel

The 30 to 90 was a step from ice to AC induction further on I stipulated whether it may be possible to make another step to increase efficiency further. Many people found comparison with the drum brakes helpful to understand the narrative of flux motor

​@@LatutaEVThe energy efficiency increase between an ice and an electric motor is meaningless because it compares two systems which employ vastly different fuels. If you use gasoline with an electric motor, with whatever gadget in between, you get back to no better than 30 %. The meaningful comparison is between the fuels. I don't think you can hope to significantly increase any small electric motor efficiency from the present radial motor efficiency which is in the 90% range already, 100% is the limit. All your considerations about efficiency are of little use in comparing radial and axial motors for a simple reason: they are already very very similar and near to the top. The same is essentially true for the comparison with the two types of brake, they are both 100% efficient. You can’t decide which system to employ based on energy efficiency, hence you can’t look at a brake for a rationale to decide between radial and axial motors. If there is a reason to make one superior to the other, which on occasion must be the case, you should mention it explicitly. The generic r scalings presented are incompatible with simple dimensional considerations, unless you specify what you keep constant, for example an r dependent property in one case which is left free in the other.

Yes that's true but hopefully Mercedes having acquired Yassa motors can put their marketing power behind that product

???

I don't think that I stated that it is new. The question I was asking if it can improve efficiency of EVs. The first generator developed by Michael Faraday was axial flux type lol.

Is this a request?😅

@@LatutaEV yes

@@omprakashsharma3359 you can press on the CC putton on the top right of RU-vid screen and select the translated language as hindu language

@@mohamedsalah6943 there is no option for hindi, only english.

Perhaps you right and if you noticed that the video title was with the question mark. But this is certainly a good question which will be answered in time. As far as I know Mercedes did acquire Yasa Motors. I guess they have seen promise in the axial flux motor technology.

Hi Paul I have just re-read your comment, did you meant to say radial flux motor often has them beat? I would love to know what are the major disadvantages of axial flux apart from those I have not mentioned?
