Exploring the Advantages of Axial Flux Motors

Why the benefits of axial flux motors outweigh any drawbacks... With double to triple the torque density compared to radial flux motors, these motors pack a punch. Join us as we delve into their incredible power-to-weight ratio.

The weight of the electric motor is not what's holding back BEV's it's the weight, 'energy' density, charging speed and lifespan of the batteries.

[@merchantmareed]

I think you meant energy density and specific energy

[@dianapennepacker6854]

Hey now, and every pound matters, an not to mention the extra performance. What is not to love. Also you have hybrids that will love this.
There is supposedly an 800bhp 52 pound motor by EHelix. That is wild!
Maybe we will see larger ones for hybrid aircraft. Or for drones.

[@Neoprenesiren]

Batteries are an easy solution, a broad approach is more useful.

[@alaricgoldkuhl155]

And much more efficient with regenerative braking.

[@MrSteelAu]

When we fully tested them motors for repeated demand on power and constant speed over time they failed. So yes those motors are good but not for cars, boats, trucks or planes. Only for light duty short bursts duty . I think nothing compare with Tesla motors to date for power to weight technology

[@SurmaSampo]

​@@blueberrychronicCheck the service interval.

[@PaulG.369]

Who is "we" and how did you test?

[@harrison00xXx]

@@MrSteelAu teslas motors are just basic BLDC motors

[@MrSteelAu]

@@harrison00xXx nothin basic about Tesla motors, you need to understand the problems with on demand performance how it instantly stalls and die

[@jasonbuksh2958]

But industry would be using them if they were practical - so they aren’t

[@yozutaro]

@@jasonbuksh2958 meh that looks extremely expensive to manufacture along with all the specialized machines and machining it looks extremely expensive just to make one

[@Neoprenesiren]

This is a fallacy just because someone isn’t using a tool it doesn’t mean that tool wouldn’t be useful.

[@hybridstoatdragon]

And if the software is correct you can have a phase skip if the RPMs go too high and you can go even faster

[@martinmuldoon603]

More power dense until you load the car with a ton of batteries, electric cars will be great after the connect a power rail from the road plus some batteries to allow car to leave electrified roads

[@lastyfirst3788]

I’m still learning grunt conversions. Can you use a mass scale next time for us newbies to better understand the weight delta between the radial and axial motors you showed in this clip?

[@randydyck9353]

I take one of those for a BEV motorcycle.

[@geemy9675]

motorcycle don't need that much torque with gear reduction.this would be useful for hub motor and improving efficiency/reducing battery weight but then you re still stuck with heavy battery and now you also hane a heavy rear wheel...
the only way with current tech for e motorcycles at highway speeds is very fast charging and big breakthrough in drag reduction.
for commuter motorcycles, tech is already ok, all you need is lower cost

[@Buzzhumma]

Put 10 of these axial flux motors side by side with an axle running right through to your drive wheels and you could run a big rig no worries ! Awesome torque and direct drive !

[@Flamingtac0]

Axial flux motors have a heat dissipation problem due to the location of the windings. Stacking them exacerbates that issue.
Currently, they are only capable of being used in low power applications. It's going to be a long time before these can even be considered for use in high torque applications.
Radial flux motors produce a lot more torque, and without heat dissipation issues.

[@chazlabreck]

Lynch motors are efficient superior but not as available in larger capacity

[@Hurpdurpdipidydoo]

And then the 2500 pounds of battery cancels all that out

[@Flamingtac0]

This guy used to be really good, but in recent years he's been presenting some blatantly false narratives about tech, more than just wishful thinking opinions.

[@JohnDelong-qm9iv]

“Power dense” torque dense?

[@manyhammers5944]

20kg ,come split firewood with me.

[@theloniousscalliwag]

Gasoline has 125,000 BTUs per gallon, and weighs less than 7 pounds. It's an absurd notion to compare an electric motors "torque density" to an internal combustion motor.

[@fam5451]

@@theloniousscalliwag You're comparing the energy density of the fuel, he is comparing the motors. Different things. Some applications like trains run a diesel generator and electric motors to get the advantages of both.

[@rikaus9273]

Just look at koenigsegg and their motors

[@kingmasterlord]

i dont understand why anyone would use radial flux

[@SurmaSampo]

Duty cycle.

[@kingmasterlord]

@@SurmaSampo pathetic cheapskate bs, you mean?

[@CaseyBDook]

I have a hard time believing it. I have been hearing about how amazing it is for a long time but I don't get to see it in action. 3 years, maybe 4?
I understand that in a perfect world nobody would be responsible for getting overly excited about ficticious technology.
A presenter being overly excited about scientifically impossible inventions in the past can color a person's view of their future content.
There comes a point where that presenters work becomes detrimental to any technology they support or advancements they highlight.
It's damaging to have some people "on your side."

Screw EVs. They're expensive golf carts. NO THANKS
