Infinitum Electric has created a new electric motor that manages to be much lighter than conventional ones. The secret is a printed circuit board stator.

In principle, an electric motor circuit is a series of simple and complex resistance, inductance, and resulting phase angles that are each 120° apart in a 3-phase system (Fig. 1 above).

NEEDHAM, Mass.-- (BUSINESS WIRE)-- US Electric motor design and software company ECM PCB Stator Technology was recently granted additional IP and patents for its advanced utilization of Printed ...

The motor also has a “Boost Mode” that can add around 15% more power for a few moments, when motoring out of somewhere quickly is a concern. But don’t call this an electric trolling motor.

Donut's 150 kW, 17-inch motorcycle motor is already in use on the road for a few boutique electric bikes, so the odds of seeing this tech on a car in the future is better than you might think.
