Introduction to Electric Car Motors

Tuesday, May 18th, 2010

Electric carriage is a road-going automobile powered by electricity. There are different types of electric car motors: “pure” electric vehicle with on-board battery, electric engine that is powered by other energy sources: car powered by sunlight or hybrid car with an electric engine but powered by gasoline or have supplementary electric motor combining with internal combustion engine. Now is developing other on-board energy storage methods like using ultra capacitors, or a spinning flywheel, which perform kinetic energy to electric energy.

Nowadays interest for electric car motor is increased because the negative impact of gasoline cars on environment is growing. You can notice the problems like global warming, pollution. Unrest in the Middle East leads to the rising of gas prices. So the electric vehicle is good alternative to overcome all these issues. Electric cars have popularity in different countries around the world.

The hybrid electric vehicle is common form of electric carriage, combining a gasoline engine with supplementary electric motors to run the car at idle and low speeds. Hybrid cars are now created by major manufacturers. The last models that were sold are Toyota Prius and the Chevrolet Volt, a hybrid which uses a fully electric vehicle with support of a gasoline-powered electric generator to extend its capability.

The world’s most popular battery electric vehicle in 2009 is the REVAi REVAi is an Indian electric car motor intended for use in the city. The REVA is a small 3-door hatchback. It is manufactured by the REVA Electric Car Company (RECC) in Bangalore (India). There were concerns about safety of REVA. Car can’t pass important crash tests. As a result, the current REVA i and REVA L-ion models have several new safety features such as front disk brakes, a collapsible steering column. Now RECC is the world’s leading electric battery car manufacturing company and it is growing rapidly.

General Describe of The Electric Motor

Monday, January 5th, 2009

It’s very easy to take the everyday electric motor for granted. Some may not even think much of it; they just know what it does. Some common places where you will find an electric motor include table saws, heel chairs, and electric vehicles, which are just starting to take off. Electric sports cars can out accelerate a Ferrari. Here’s how a DC electric motor works: When the coil is powered, a magnetic field is created around the armature (or stator). The left side of the armature is pushed away from the magnet on the same side, and drawn towards the right, which causes rotation. When the armature is horizontal, the commutator, the current changes direction through the coil, and this reverses the magnetic field. This process repeats. The whole process is based on the rotating magnetic field principle, which was first though up by Nikola Tesla. An easier way to look at it would be two magnets opposite each other with opposite charges. Between these two magnets is a plate that rotates side-by-side from a magnetic field. It’s simple when you think about it, but the process is also very complicating, and has to be very precise for it to work. Now this is a very basic view on electric motors, but it’s better than not knowing what it is that is doing that work for you all the time.
