The synchronous reluctance motors work without permanent magnets. Still, they’re not very good for anything other than pumps and fans, lacking in power and torque.

Traditionally, synchronous reluctance motors use steel rotors and air gaps and exploit the difference in reluctance — a term for magnetic resistance– to generate rotation.

Robert Sansone with his novel synchronous reluctance motor Society for Science Robert Sansone is a natural born engineer. From animatronic hands to high-speed running boots and a go-kart that can ...

And what about another no-rare-earth machine some are mooting for vehicles, the synchronous reluctance motor. “This one has less torque, can’t handle overload and has a worse max output curve since ...

Robert Sansone with his revolutionary synchronous reluctance motor. Media sourced from Benzinga. It’s the 2022 Regeneron International Science and Engineering Fair. A boy has entered a machine into ...

The design of the SynRA motor itself is made with ease in mind. The synchronous reluctance rotor with an aluminum cage design is magnet-free, allowing for easy programming and compatibility with ...

Traditionally, synchronous reluctance motors use steel rotors and air gaps and exploit the difference in reluctance — a term for magnetic resistance– to generate rotation.

The impressive result: greater than 93 percent energy efficiency. Permanent magnet synchronous reluctance motors, explained Until now, the Model S and X used conventional induction motors.
