Japan develops the most efficient electric motor

The current green trend of electric vehicles filling up our roads seems to be promising for a cleaner environment in the near future. But many such vehicles still lack the capacity to deliver the speed that gas-guzzling vehicles can do with ease. To overcome such obstacles, researchers in Japan have devised a new brushless high-efficient 100w dc motor. Such an invention helps to convert electric power to motor output at a conversion of 96% efficiency. Another noteworthy aspect is that such a motor can also maintain conversion efficiency in the range from 93% to 96% even as the output changes between 50 watts and 200 watts. However the only hitch is the high cost factor. This will postpone its applications in fields like commercial electric-automobiles as of yet. It will be limited to eco-racing cars only. Once again green technology surfaces but for a price that is beyond common man’s reach.
