The world’s fastest motor which can spin in excess of 1 million revolutions per minute has been developed by researchers at ETH Zurich’s Department of Power Electronics and marketed by the Swiss company, Celeroton.
The need for smaller electronic devices requires smaller holes, which means we need smaller, faster, more efficient drills.
This new motor could be applied for faster drills and more efficient and compact compressors for cars and airplanes.
Compared to collapsed stars that spin at 60,000 rpms, a blender which spins at about 30,000 rpms and high performance engines at around 10,000 rpms, this is the fastest motor available today.
This matchbook-sized motor has a titanium shell, ultra-thin wiring and a trade secret iron formulated cylinder. The titanium shell helps it to withstand flying apart like a star.
Ultra-thin copper wire is used for the windings, which are inserted in a cylinder made of special iron previously unused for machines.
The trend towards increasingly smaller cell phones and other teensy electronic devices means even smaller holes must be drilled to make them, and that requires higher rotational speeds.
More and more applications are reducing in size and they demand the smallest drive systems.
Celeroton is keeping up with this trend and replacing volume and weight by speed across all industries.
