Dyson unveils 'world's fastest motor' in new vacuum - Telegraph Quote: At 104,000 revolutions per minute, the motor turns ten times as fast as a commercial aircraft, five times as fast as a Formula 1 engine and more than twice as fast as the most powerful industrial milling machines. The only thing quicker is a dentist's drill, but that is technically a turbine, not a motor.   02-08-2010, 10:13 AM   #2 tdelta1000 Member   Join Date: Jul 2009 Posts: 95 That sounds cool but can this type of technology be scaled up for EV usage? If so, I think cooloing the motor would be an issue.   02-08-2010, 10:23 AM   #3 Tdave Senior Member   Join Date: May 2008 Location: Columbia, MD Posts: 593 We already need a reduction gearbox. Why are we interested in higher RPM motors? Don't we want a motor that works better at lower RPMs?   Bookmarks del.icio.us Digg StumbleUpon Google « Previous Thread | Next Thread » Thread Tools Show Printable Version Email this Page Display Modes Linear Mode Switch to Hybrid Mode Switch to Threaded Mode Posting Rules You may not post new threads You may not post replies You may not post attachments You may not edit your posts BB code is On Smilies are On [IMG] code is On HTML code is Off Trackbacks are On Pingbacks are On Refbacks are On Forum Rules All times are GMT -7.
