Methods for measuring and reporting horsepower of electric outboards are debated within the industry. Trolling-motor makers such as Minn Kota, Lowrance, Garmin and Rhodan report the power of their ...

The marine-power landscape is changing quickly, thanks mainly to advancements in motors—especially electric motors, batteries, operating software and charging equipment. Electric marine propulsion is ...

To calculate annual energy usage: Multiply the motor’s rated power by its annual operating hours to determine kWh consumption. Adjust for efficiency losses using the motor’s efficiency rating.

The axial flux electric motor pioneers at YASA are at it again. Just three months after sending tremors through the electric motor market with an unofficial world-record power density that absolutely ...

One of the big advantages of electric vehicles is their greater freedom when it comes to packaging. Batteries go where it makes the most sense in terms of stability and safety. Electric motors are ...

Scientists at the Korea Institute of Science and Technology (KIST) have developed a new class of lightweight, highly conductive carbon nanotube (CNT) wiring that does away with copper and aluminum ...

The race to build lighter, more powerful electric motors has just produced a startling new benchmark: an in-wheel drive unit that delivers 1,000 hp per corner in a package small enough to disappear ...

Electric motors usually comprise a stator and a rotor, with the latter rotating inside the former. Donut Lab thinks this design is outdated, and a hollowed-out rotor can offer important advantages.
