Magnetic Couplings & Gearing - MGT HDV.mpg

I tried emailing you a few days ago. I didn't receive a response.

Please email me I want to talk with you all about a possible design.

[DanFrederiksen]

romantic notion but it's just not the right solution.

it's simply much better to have an electric motor drive directly..

magnetic gearing is very weak, you get much more by putting the cost in the motor itself.

[DjGisME]

this is the future of cars differential or clutch

"worlds first"?..........i dont think so.

[DanFrederiksen]

it seems to me that with electric motors it is much better simply to design the motor for the target speed instead of a magnetic gearbox. magnetic gearing doesn't have magic torque so it's a case of the weakest link. no need for 2 stage.

and many of the illustrated gearings here are very poor because they have very small magnetic contact area instead of the whole ring in a motor at all times.

can this be scaled down to rc truck sized gears? It would sure make stressed out drive train parts last a lot longer. How heavy would the assembly be to transfer 1ft/lb of torque?

[3089280288]

can an electric motor use these gears to run a capicitor or generator while it runs a car to recharge the batteries as it accelerates?

[InventorAndrewFrench]

Yes they are very strong and we have many configurations to adapt to different applications.

[Xerimplinks]

I'm still trying to understand how they can transmit a high level of Power throug theses parallel magnets. The most of magnets we today are very weak anda i can only see a great problem. The transmission, for me, would have a small limit of torque. These must a very, very strong magnets for these gears work in so many ways.

Linear Magnetic Gearing Technology might be useful in humanoid robotics.

[DanFrederiksen]

@WolfsburgWarehouse linear magnetics can be interesting but for robotic muscle it basically needs to be superconducting to have enough strength

[skenderbeu90]

this is a great technology
