  2. DeLorean Motor Company (Texas) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DeLorean_Motor_Company_(Texas)

    In August 2007, Wynne announced plans to start selling refurbished cars. [ 8 ] [ 9 ] At that time, a DeLorean could be assembled using a combination of new, original, and reproduction parts and a donor car (to still carry a 1980s title) for US$57,500.

  3. Direct-drive mechanism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Direct-drive_mechanism

    In the late 19th century and early 20th century, some of the earliest locomotives and cars used direct drive transmissions at higher speeds. [5] [6] Direct-drive mechanisms for industrial arms began to be possible in the 1980s, with the use of rare-earth magnetic materials. [1]

  4. Brushless DC electric motor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brushless_DC_electric_motor

    A brushless DC electric motor (BLDC), also known as an electronically commutated motor, is a synchronous motor using a direct current (DC) electric power supply. It uses an electronic controller to switch DC currents to the motor windings producing magnetic fields that effectively rotate in space and which the permanent magnet rotor follows.

  6. Superconducting electric machine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superconducting_electric...

    Superconducting electric machines are electromechanical systems that rely on the use of one or more superconducting elements. Since superconductors have no DC resistance, they typically have greater efficiency. The most important parameter that is of utmost interest in superconducting machine is the generation of a very high magnetic field that ...

  7. Switched reluctance motor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Switched_reluctance_motor

    SRMs are used in some appliances, [12] in linear form for wave energy conversion, [13] magnetic levitation trains, [14] or industrial sewing machines. [15] The same electromechanical design can be used in a generator. The load is switched to the coils in sequence to synchronize the current flow with the rotation.

  8. Amplidyne - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amplidyne

    It consists of an electric motor driving a DC generator. The signal to be amplified is applied to the generator's field winding , and its output voltage is an amplified copy of the field current . The amplidyne was used in industry in high power servo and control systems, to amplify low power control signals to control powerful electric motors ...

  9. Fan (machine) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fan_(machine)

    The fan is often connected to machines with a rotating part rather than being powered separately. This is commonly seen in motor vehicles with internal combustion engines, large cooling systems, locomotives, and winnowing machines, where the fan is connected to the drive shaft or through a belt and pulleys. Another common configuration is a ...
