What’s the most needed is the improvement of battery technology energy storage. Energy storage of the best batteries today is poor compared to gasoline. A new material or design improvement causing much higher energy storage would be a major achievement, maybe then green technology will dominate the industry.

I was one of the first to use YASA in 2017. The motor spec on the YASA 400 series only has 390Nm peak and 300 Nm or power continuous. This is great for short take off speed but the motor performance gets much much worse as you keep reading. The problem with these motors is that they overheat because of the pancake design. As seen in the YASA spec sheet that the actual continuous rating is at 6000 rpm at only 170Nm. This means the motors actual continuous power is only 127 ft lbs of torque.

@paultaylor7758 Год назад

Actually, most of those politicians don't want commoners to own a means of transportation, they want us subsistent on public transportation so they can tell you where to work, shop, and live. If you disagree, fine, but why have we engineered in so much to the traditional gasoline/deisel engine that it now costs nearly as much to buy a vehicle as it does to buy one's modest home. We had carbs that could get 50 to 75 mpg+ in the 70s and 80s that never saw the light of day. Here we are in 2022 with extensive fuel injection systems so computer controlled that one sensor fails and the car doesn't run, yet we are barely getting 30 to 40 mpg and only around 50 mpg on hybrids if you drive real conservative. The repair bills are astronomical. My contention is that this is to force most out of car ownership and into public transit. Similarly the push towards corporate/government owned farming versus private owned farming: the staple for 200+ years in America/Canada.

I have been studying axial motors and have found they are superior design for future EVs.

@wokenfree Год назад

Twice compared to which motor? I've heard Tesla's motors are 94% efficient.

@josephoberlander Год назад

@@wokenfree Well, there is a big asterisk. The best electric motors are about 80% efficient throughout the entire cycle at best. Tesla cheats like most auto makers and only quotes you the motor's best instantaneous efficiency. Then there is heat losses and fatigue as we found out when they could barely get a lap around The Ring. The batteries and motors get extremely hot under heavy loads and eventually they have to be throttled back to keep from damaging themselves. So under hard loads, the efficiency drops a lot, closer to 50% for the entire cycle. Usually the battery pack gets too hot. There's also a hidden gotcha - and it's HUGE for Tesla model 3/X/Y owners. Permanent magnet motors have to be severely limited under hard launches because every time they overheat, the magnets lose some of their charge forever. Eventually under a lot of stress, they will give a fraction of their original power due to being run too hard for too long. In a best case scenario, the software takes over and the cooling system is working well. In a worst case scenario, it just gets permanently less efficient. Given that a typical model X is expected to have lost about 7% of its power due to age (motor) at 100K miles, the cheaper permanent magnet motors are 2-4x that depending on how you drive. Replacement motors will be a "thing" as they reach past 100K miles on some vehicles. Axial motors, while they also have permanent magnets, they are not as strong and do not generally have this problem as the masses being moved and amount of charged metal coils are such that they basically don't overheat in normal use, even when pushed hard, as long as there is some air flow. Aside from a complete stall scenario in a crash, but that should trip a breaker/fuse same as any other motor. Still, they also lose some efficiency as they age. Maybe 10% at 100K miles. Note that this is still about half of most ICE engines.

Another interesting motor is the Toroidal direct drive motor unfortunately still in experimental test & design phase, in theory it gives you both the positives outcomes from the radial & flux motors a all in one package, probably wont be available till around 2030 but hopefully they develop it quicker defiantly will be a game changer.

China still uses tons of coal to generate electricity, the US does not. Natural gas has been replacing coal for years now in the US because gas is cheaper and more efficient than coal for generating electricity (38% efficiency for coal vs 42% for gas, and up to 61% for combined cycle gas power plants). Also natural gas doesn't put as much carbon into the atmosphere when burned either because in one molecule of natural gas (methane: CH4) the hydrogen atoms outnumber the carbon atoms four to one. In coal, the carbon atoms outnumber the hydrogen atoms. As far as disposal: 5 Best Lithium Battery Recycling Firms for the New EV World: Lithion Recycling Inc. (Canada) Li-Cycle Corp.

One motor per wheel will offer huge advantages for off road use, and the ground clearance can be whatever is desired without axles, drive shafts, differentials or transfer cases to drag on the ground.

Except, I think we will find replacing the gas motor with a large electric one will be more resource-friendly than putting a motor on each wheel.

@Liberty4Ever Год назад

@@qdllc - There are HUGE advantages to One Motor Per Wheel. No transmission. No transfer case. No front differential. No rear differential. No drive shaft. No axles. No constant velocity joints. Traction control is easily implemented in software, where the complexity is free and reliable, unlike hardware implementations of ABS, traction control, etc. The axial flux motors are so small they can be implemented with disk brakes and not be much larger than drum brakes. Design the offset of the wheel rim properly and the axial flux motor would fit in larger wheels used for off road vehicles.

@longbow192 Год назад

Yep. there's about 2000 parts in an ICE, and about as many ways it can all go wrong. They all have to move in perfect synchrony and the margins of error are so slim - at a relatively tame 3000 RPM, time intervals are already so short, they don't make sense anymore, so they use crankshaft rotation degrees to set things like VVT and ignition timings. Valves and injectors need to open and close, ignition coils need to energize, injection pumps need to build a literal ton of pressure, at exact, predetermined times, and they need to do all this hundreds of times every second, reliably. I am convinced that in 1 or 2 centuries, when ICE will be a thing of the past, they'll keep wondering why we used it as long as we did. Speaking as a mechanic here, I like them, I drive a car with such an engine, but man, they are a horrendously inefficient way to move around. 😅

As you show in the clip, there is nothing new in axial flux motors as this was originally one of Tesla's patents. The physical motors exist in the consumer market for more than 30 years now and yes, this kind of motor is tailored-made for EVs. In 2015 my university put 4 150hp axial flux motors in the wheels of our e-racer. This was the first time we ever raced, got 10th place. Not bad for a first time. I was actually personally involved and helped the guys who worked on it (two of them were my colleagues). Gotta admit, the sheer power of these bad boys always overwhelmed me..

Dictionary incorrectly defines flux as 'flow,' when in fact flux refers to flow changing over time. dI/dt, where 'I' is current (= flow of charge), and dI/dt is flow-of-charge changing over time. It's the 'changing-over-time' part that distinguishes flux from flow.

@TomTerrific-vm3qg Год назад

I have a '61 Plymouth originally equipped with a 225 and 3 on the tree. I don't need nor want a high power motor. 200 hp would pull this car just fine. From what I understand one of these motors could fit in the space of the bellhousing if it can directly drive the transmission or mounted on the bellhousing with a flywheel to connect to the clutch. Direct drive could pose a problem in poor traction conditions with instant torque{no nanny systems in 1961}. Flywheel to clutch would require maybe 6" additional space of the engine compartment{the front end of the transmission would need to be secured}depending on the cooling system{air cooled if possible is ideal}; this would leave the rest of the engine bay for batteries OR mount a battery in place of the fuel tank or the space under the seats and mount a generator under the hood that could provide enough power to drive it down the road at 70 mph{range anxiety}powered by propane/cng or a small diesel engine{think diesel electric train}. Just on my wish list.

@JohnDoe-ig1yw Год назад

Plenty of motor designs, not enough battery ideas, or fast charging ideas. Only one solution is pre charged batteries in stations whet you can just pull up, swap out the dead battery for fully charged one and be on your way. For this to happen, all manufacturers have to be on board to make the batteries easily accessible. Swap out under 5 minutes.

The Mercedes story seems very odd and that technology doesn't perform well and the battery technology isn't even proven yet. I was one of the first to use YASA in 2017. The motor spec on the YASA 400 series only has 390Nm peak and 300 Nm or power continuous. This is great for short take off speed but the motor performance gets much much worse as you keep reading. The problem with these motors is that they overheat because of the pancake design. As seen in the YASA spec sheet that the actual continuous rating is at 6000 rpm at only 170Nm. This means the motors actual continuous power is only 127 ft lbs of torque. Now tell me what you think or go see more by typing in "Edward Monfort" in the youTube search bar.
