Scientists have now constructed the world’s first prototype electrical motor using carbon nanotube yarn in the motor windings. The new technology may significantly enhance the performance. LUT ...

The field of electrical machines and drives forms the cornerstone of modern energy conversion, transforming electrical energy into mechanical power for a vast range of applications—from electric ...

Using electricity to propel vehicles and power equipment work systems is not new. The majority of cars on U.S. highways in the early 1900s were battery powered and far outnumbered those using gas or ...

Electric farm equipment is gaining ground as electric motors power tractors, UTVs and forklifts with lower maintenance, ...

Battery-powered hand tools now own the fix-it market. Yard equipment has its cell sights set on suburbia. Farm country, however, requires a much higher threshold of reliability. That isn’t slowing ...

On today’s supremely clever episode of Quick Charge, we talk with engineers from MOOG about diesel, natural gas, and ...

Volvo Construction Equipment recently announced its first midsize electric wheel loader and excavator at the Advanced Clean Transportation Expo, which will join its growing fleet of sustainable ...

Over the past several years, manufacturers have teased battery electric compact machine prototypes at major industry shows. But until very recently, the availability of actual production machines was ...

Electric-powered equipment has been adjacent to construction for some time. Electric machines are a common sight in mining, while indoor loading and material-handling equipment have long relied on ...

WHEN an electrical machine is not working satisfactorily it is necessary for the engineer to diagnose the trouble and, if possible, suggest a remedy. The engineer in the works when testing the ...
