To visualize a radial flux motor, think of two iron cylinders ... at right angles to the axis of rotation. The 3D flow of magnetic flux occurs ­a­xially through the stator, radially through the air ...

How BMW’s Rotor Design Enhances EV Motor EfficiencyIn recent months, General Motors, Porsche, Mercedes-Benz, and Hyundai have all submitted patents for improved rotor designs for electric motors in ...

Description: Aerodynamic analysis and design of axial flow and radial flow gas compressors and gas turbines. Blade element performance (deflection, profile and shock losses, etc.). Meridional flow ...

While the radial electric motor used on the BMW i3 offers 168 hp (125 kW), 184.4 lb-ft (250 Nm), and weighs 101 lb (46 kg), a Magnax axial flow with the same torque would offer 268 hp (200 kW ...
