What is the Most Efficient Motor?

[sushimoto]

This lady was refering to gasoline combustion motors. As mentioned in a post earlier.
He should have asked her about the best High End electrical motors but I don't think "she" cares about this knowledge.
It's not her profession to know all technological details on the lastest developments unless being fanatic in these matters.

Here is a 98% efficient halbach array & ironless axial flux solar car motor.

Hi Honk,

thanks a lot for the info.

Maybe offtopic,
but do you (or anybody else here) have experiences with EV Conversion kits available?
I know, that there are a lot of claims and proposals,
but i am interested in verified conclusions by users.
In germany, the conversion-market is widely open,
but there are no reliable suppliers. .. As far as of today.
The same is valid for available EV cars with "normal" prices.
Every German Motor-Company are still selling horrible combustion BS.
For good reason to them, but not for humanity.

@fritznien
I know very well, they are optimized.
And if you emulgate the Diesel with water, you are getting up to 75% efficency.
And if you use bigger flywheels and "Hit'nMiss"-technologies, there are further improvements possible.
Plus, if combined with wind power (sailing), marine transportation can be up to 95% efficient.
But i do live in a town with some cars. And i dont want to burn fossil resources anymore.
At least, a good Electric or Airpressure-driven car would be the right next step.

best,
sushi

Sorry, I have no connections or experiences with EV Conversion kits except finding this area interesting.
A hate inefficency, especially at work when designing electronics.

[cameron sydenham]

the 30% + or - makes sense for combustion. than, what is the most efficient electric motor, not a wheel or a device that is not truly prooven, one that is marketed, is it around 90 % or so??

after doing some thought, I now know why it was a combustion motor that they were refering to. Somewhere in the line, a combustion motor is needed to create the electricity, something must be used to turn the generator.
What about a turbine, how about those, like a what a nuclear plant would use. this is simply a steam turbine motor, how efficient does that convert the heat into rotation.

Almost everything else is more efficient than all of these ancient machines including nuclear plants.
At least, a turbine is a bit better than most piston driven "power converters".

Compared to all of that, a solar panel is already "Overunity",
because it generates power from "nothing".
And maybe soon, the "vacuum" can be explained as easy as the sun.

There are Electric-motors existent with an efficiency of above 90%,
but they are hardly to find and even harder to buy for common use.
