Popis: A new class of electric motors with hybrid-field topology is introduced. Departing from conventional radial- or axial-field designs, the motors feature three-dimensional magnetic flux paths, which are enabled by an advanced isotropic soft magnetic material produced by a unique additive-manufacturing process based on spray forming. The motors provide considerably higher power output (40% higher power density) and improved energy efficiency (up to 15% lower losses) compared to the state of the art. A prototype spray-formed hybrid-field motor has been designed and constructed, and the size, power and efficiency benefits have been demonstrated.
