Koenigsegg aims to reinvent electric drive with new Raxial Flux motors

That is true, but motors will get smaller, lighter and more powerful, just as IC engines did in the early 20th Century.

I predict the emergence of ultra-magnets that are very small, super strong and not made of rare earth metals.

Super Capacitors/Batteries will charge in minutes, not hours and since the electric cars will have much less parts and therefore less labor, they will be cheaper...........

For the shade-tree mechanic who prefers more conventional units of measure (if my calculations are correct): the peak torque is about 440 pound-feet and the peak horsepower in about 335. Very impressive numbers from an engine that is closer in physical size to a lawnmower engine than a car engine.

The innovations that the Koenigsegg team develop are truly amazing. That is a talented bunch of engineers.

And they can be STACKED!.....................

What I found remarkable as well as interesting about this company is that just about all or most components are designed, developed and produced in house. There are some interesting YouTube movies about this remarkable company, worth watching.

Just curious...with Rat Party Headquarters planning to shut down coal fired plants,gas fired plants,oil fired plants and nuclear plants where's the power to charge batteries gonna come from when EVs represent 10%....25%...50% of private cars on the road?

I just read that Indycar is using supercaps in their new hybrid drivetrain from Mahle.

Windmills, solar panels and unicorn farts, silly!..................

[nascarnation]

Yeah 300hp/liter is race car spec.

Hi.

A miss print.

It’s nana meters. The distance between you and your nana.

The graph shows foot pounds. The conversion is indeed to Newton meters

[revetment]

Now if they would just get to work on a Racial Flux version that could take us a fair distance for an equitable charge...

[Nifster]

No. The graph is in foot pounds

Nanometer is a length not an energy value. Newton meters is appropriate

[Lurker]

Don’t even get me started on Kilo/Pascals.

Super Capicitors have been 10 years away for 40 years. It might happen, but really hasn’t yet.

[Deaf Smith]

Being consistent (?) the graph has “TORQUE (NM)” on the left side.

Many experimenters have replaced car batteries with a deck of super capacitors that take up less than half the space and can weigh as little as one third of a conventional battery. Also, they tolerate temperature extremes better than most battery types. I built one for about $40.00 and also built a backup deck that fits in one of the pockets in the rear of my van. Fantastic money-saving device!

This works on the same principle as the "Turbo Encabulator", correct?

short video explaining axial fkux motors in comparison to common radial flux motors and why axial flux has greater torque to weight advantage.
