Launching things with electromagnetism is pretty fun, with linear induction motors being a popular design that finds use from everywhere in hobby designs like [Tom Stanton]’s to the electromagnetic ...

Linear induction motors (LIMs) are specialised electromagnetic machines that convert electrical energy directly into linear force, thereby eliminating the intermediary rotary step inherent in ...

With its Hunstable Electric Turbine, Linear Labs promises three times the torque, twice the power and a 10% increase in range in an electric vehicle over a typical permanent magnet motor. One problem ...

Ever since the first roller coasters were built in America in the 1920s, they have worked pretty much the same way. After the cars leave the loading platform, they begin a long climb up a wooden tower ...

Flux Drive technology uses induction motor theory and improvements in permanent magnets to create a magnetic torque transfer system for its new soft-start couplings and adjustable speed drives (ASD).

Fort Worth startup Linear Labs has raised $6 million in new funding in its quest to build a better motor. The investment follows Linear Labs' recent $68.9 million incentive deal with Fort Worth to ...
