Specs improved over the original version. 3MHz, 50mA.
I'm not reading in depth so maybe missing something...

Might make better balance to blend mismatched cells to matched sums for each parallel group? You say matched series strings, but I can't figure how that alone guarantees parallel balance. I have no prior pack building experience, could be misunderstanding how that works. Got a 36V mid motor, and eno...

Keep the plates and save your work. Just cut slots and shim with epoxy or other insulator. Not at the place where you have already tapped a set screw. Jigsaw an angle from one side (perhaps the clockwise side) of each stator to the outer edge. So you will still have one solid plate, but no shorted t...

Once was a thing called "repulsion motor" that ran as a squirrel cage induction motor. But had liftable brushes for extra low speed torque and starting. I don't understand how it worked. Was good enough for trains...

Don't make the guts too inacessible. Huge stationary shorted turns remain about each end of the stator coils. Those shorts will eventually need to be jigsawed open before it works at reasonable RPM. You could still step with it at very low rate to measure torque. Near DC, shorted turns of the plates...

If an ac current were being fed through the coils at a fast enough frequency to produce eddy currents the iron teeth would be heating up especially as it’s feromagnetic and would be heating through hysteresis as well as Eddys. But they don’t heat through these and the frequency is not fast enough. ...

Either type of magnet weighs more than iron. SmCo Gives a temperature advantage over NdFeB in return for brittleness and slightly weaker field. Yes, we can get rid of backing iron. Replace with cobalt, or add more heavy magnets to make an array that needs no backing, but not always helpful to do so....

Monkey see monkey do. Lams are always safe. Properly placed dead shorts can work significantly better. Not impressed. AC induction motors work entirely on eddies and nothing else. What would be the performance of this motor without them? 793px-Rotterdam_Ahoy_Europort_2011_(14).JPG What I speak of is...

In fact there will be eddy currents induced within magnets and back iron, because the rotating magnetic field from the stator is spinning quicker as the rotor itself (ERPM vs. RPM). Stator field leads the rotor field by some angle of course, but is not spinning quicker. Maybe you are thinking AC in...

So, my suggestion of roller bearings in place of Maxon's brushes might not have been completely daft. Not sure how much current Bosch intends to push through these? Perhaps this illustration was just about bleeding some unwanted voltage that accumulates.

Halbach is no magical replacement for backing iron. Nd2Fe14B is 72.3% Iron by weight. Twice as many magnets are then needed to form the array. So much for getting rid of iron... "Iron losses" aren't a problem in permanent magnets or their backing. Because a constant flux doesn't generate eddies. If ...

I don't understand a single word. What do you mean with "shorted turn"? Exactly which part of "shorted turn" did you not understand? Currents induced in the plates will oppose those of the coils. Flux cancelled by an equal and opposite magnetomotive force. If the surrounding circuit is not opened, ...

Uh, wait. Am I just now understanding that your stator intends to alternate and present the rotating fields? I should have realized earlier... Eddies are the least of your problem. You need to do something about slotting those plates so they won't represent a shorted transformer secondary winding. I...

Eddy? Huge shorted transformer secondary more like it.
Not recommended for stator with an alternating flux.

Shorting ring (or bury in cast metal) might help a DC field
coil or permanent magnet rotor that doesn't change flux.
For fixed flux application, idea may not be entirely daft.

https://www.electronicsweekly.com/news/research-news/rare-earth-free-magnet-made-from-cheap-materials-2016-05/ Its nothing new that various thin films can be made twice as powerful as bulk Neodymium Iron Boron. But the trouble is they are just thin films. Many rely upon strain, which cannot happen e...

Possible link to the original article? OP link roboplagiarized to the point of nonsense. I mean, "Neodymium" somehow changed to "Niobium"? Same things only completely different, nobody cares if we change a few facts...

Dip end of Litz bundle with lots of flux in a pool of molten tin. Enamel will usually burn itself off, unless its not real enamel. Pure tin melts about 48C hotter than regular lead/tin solder. May be part of the magic when burning off enamel? Our pool is pumped more like a fountain or volcano. Can r...

You post gold filled square copper wire and complain Litz costs too much?

Rectangular Compacted Litz.

Skin effect may not matter for reasonable motor frequencies.
But proximity effect still matters, as does breaking up eddies.

Neodymium magnets are 14 parts iron to three parts other stuff. 2 parts neodymium. 1 part boron. So much for eliminating iron... Samarium Cobalt: 5 parts Cobalt to one part Samarium. Extremely brittle, but won't corrode, and takes heat better. Definitely not saying Cobalt makes a better motor than i...

For no backing iron entertainment purposes only:
try searching: "Halbach Array"

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetomotive_force Word I was thinking of earlier but couldn't recall. Will need unreasonable large current, lots of turns of tiny wire to push big flux through empty space. Only because empty space is reluctant to pass flux that you can do work against it, and store e...

Maybe I don't totally get Faraday, or Topology, but a field might orient itself through the middle of the coil no matter how you bent it. What you going to do if this coil's field is perpendicular to your permanent field? Am I imagining the picture from too far to see some local effect you are tryin...

Failure to address reluctance of flux return path around outside of coil. Not a big deal, just embed in a pipe of laminated iron or bailing wire. Taking care not to complete an electrical circuit, only magnetic. Failure to address reluctance of gap for coil to pass through. Failure to address eddies...

Copy/Paste propaganda from JB's website. Q:How much heat can J-B Weld withstand? A:Original J-B Weld can withstand a constant temperature of 500º F. The maximum temperature threshold is approximately 600º F for a short term (10 minutes). Refer to individual product packages for more temperature info...
