Researchers develop rare earth-free high power electric motors using copper | Using copper coils instead of rare Earth materials in the motor’s rotating part is much more accessible.
Texas A&M researchers have developed a groundbreaking electric motor using copper instead of rare Earth materials.
They aim to create a cost-effective, compact, efficient, and sustainable electric motor that eliminates the need for rare earths and reduces dependence on foreign markets. By removing rare earths from the supply chain, we reduce our dependency on foreign countries, and copper is more sustainable since it is readily available.” “This innovation could significantly impact the automobile industry,” Dr. Talebi remarked, “and it can also be extended to wind turbines, renewable energy solutions, and transportation systems.”
