Tesla was first to patent a primitive axial-flux electric motor—Nikola Tesla, that is, way back in 1889. It would be 126 years before the concept found its way to a car, the 1,500-horsepower (1,103 ...

I have to start by addressing the elephant in the room – an equivalent of $40,000 (£29,000 precisely) for an electric ...

Less than two months after smashing its own (unofficial) record in power density with its proprietary axial flux motor, YASA has unveiled a real-world application of the technology as an in-wheel ...

Yasa’s axial flux motor set an unofficial record for the highest power-to-weight ratio. During testing, the slim drive unit delivered over 700 horsepower while tipping the scales at just 28.8 pounds ...

An axial flux electric motor from Yasa set a new unofficial power density record. The working prototype weighs just 28 pounds but makes more power than two Tesla Model 3 Performance EVs combined. The ...

U.K.-based YASA, a wholly owned subsidiary of Mercedes-Benz, has developed a whole new type of electric motor. YASA's axial flux motor (AFM), in its second iteration, is an electric motor that weighs ...

Axial flux electric motor developer YASA announced it has achieved what it believes to be the highest power density for an electric motor ever, hailing the feat as an unofficial world record. If you ...

To visualize a radial flux motor, think of two iron cylinders. One is fitted with magnets set around its outside and an axle running through its center (the rotor). Surrounding this cylinder is a ...

What sets axial- and radial-flux electric motors apart? The pros and cons of axial flux and radial flux in serving the surging global electric-motor market demand. As the world rapidly electrifies, ...

Earlier this month we looked at the Flying Whales airship, a hugely ambitious project if ever there was one. A small but critical piece of that floating puzzle, the Evolito axial flux motor – or all ...
