Richs Thankyou for your link to the Tesla car.
From the Tesla website, i notice that they "appear" to have mounted the electric motor around the rear wheel axle.
Tesla dont give details of the type of motor/drive, but i suspect some kind of Brushless DC motor.
The Tesla looks excellent and...
..also, regarding the above critique of having the motors in the wheels...it is a problem with unsprung mass...but still is the only viable way to do an electric car for the mass market. Obviously its not a candidate for driving over very rocky paths.
having the motors in the wheels frees up...
Good Day,
LionelHutz thankyou for the correct term of these motors.
We are working on the principle that with a multi-poled stator and rotor, the "next stator pole along" should have its coil pulse to make it attract the rotor coil, and the stator pole that's just passed should at that point...
Good day,
We wish to get into electric car drives. Actually, we want to have a brushless DC machine for each of the car wheels.
(so that's 4 DC machines per car)
We know this is a knew way of doing it, that no-one's ever tried before, and so it'll be risky. -but it will make for smaller size...
