Linear motors are becoming increasingly practical for general motion. Many are used for long strokes of a few feet or more. One new design, however, where the magnets move relative to a stationary ...

By removing rare earths from the equation, these designs promise cleaner supply chains and more sustainable production.

It used to be a staple of junior high physics class to build some sort of motor with paperclips or wire. A coil creates a magnetic field that makes the rotor move. In the process of moving, brushes ...

Magnets, typically using rare earth metals like neodymium, are found at the heart of most electric vehicle motors. It's nice to have a permanent source of powerful rare earth magnetism in your rotor, ...

DETROIT (AP) — General Motors has taken two more steps to make sure it has the raw materials for the transition from petroleum to battery power, this time lining up magnets for electric vehicle motors ...

In a world filled with high-tech robotics kits and programmable gadgets, one artist decided to strip everything back to the fundamentals of physics. Jamie from the YouTube channel Jamie’s Brick Jams ...
