Electric Motors
Its creator asks: “Is an electric V8 engine a good idea?”
The answer for someone curious about the subject. or looking for a cool science fair project, the answer is of course. Everyone else needs to ask, Does it have any advantages over the standard motors, e.g., AC induction motors that we find in our EVs today? E.g., is it more efficient in transferring electrical energy to kinetic energy? Could it be more reliable and have lower costs of maintenance?
If you check out the video, you’ll see that the is clearly no. It has dozens upon dozens of parts that are flying around at breakneck speeds. The whole thing looks like an explosion waiting to happen.
