1 reports · 1 sources
Alex S. Miller and Jeffrey H. Lang proposed, analyzed, designed, and demonstrated a macroscale electric-field induction motor whose rotor is composed of discrete circuit elements between a finite number of conductive blades, in order to overcome the limitations of a single continuous material in resistivity, permittivity, and circuit characteristics. The motor uses circuits on the rotor surface to emulate the "deep-slot" rotor design of magnetic induction motors. The researchers state that this design can provide higher torque over a wide speed range. The study completed the analysis, design, and demonstration of the motor.

- Electric-Field Induction Motor with Discrete Circuit Elements and Improved Rotor Dynamics
Researchers propose an electric-field induction motor whose rotor is made of discrete circuit elements between a finite number of conductive vanes, overcoming the limits of a single continuous material in resistivity, permittivity, and circuit characteristics. This macroscale motor uses circuitry on the rotor surface to emulate the "deep bar" rotor design of magnetic induction motors, providing higher torque over a wide speed range. The study completed the analysis, design, and demonstration of the motor.
