Your nerves transmit messages within the brain, as well as among the brain, spinal cord, and the body. In order to do this, they use a combination of electrical and chemical signaling. Motor neurons ...

Small brushless motors and LiPo batteries are one of the most impressive bits of technology popularized in recent years. Just a few years ago, RC aircraft were powered by either anemic brushed motors ...

If you’ve spent enough time riding electric bikes, you quickly realize that power is only part of the draw. Another big part ...

We’ve all been to the trade shows where semiconductor vendors are showing their motor control solutions running a motor with a simple flag or disc to show that the motor is actually moving (I’m guilty ...

Brushless motors have a lot of advantages over traditional brushed motors. However, testing them can be a bit of a pain. Because the resistance of the motor’s coils is usually very low, a standard ...

The 120-year-old Norwood Motor Manufacturing plant installed a new, 360-ton motor test stand. “Knowledge is power,” goes the old adage, but at the front line of manufacturing today “power” is becoming ...

How the challenges of electric-motor control design can be overcome using digital twins in all design and test phases. How automated testing within a continuous and integrated toolchain is able to ...

A testing machine can be used to push, pull or twist a sample of the material in order to determine the mechanical properties of a material. Many materials are strain rate sensitive which means that ...

NASA’s Space Shuttle program successfully test fired its first Flight Verification Motor — a test to further validate the five-year lifespan of a Reusable Solid Rocket Motor — Thursday, Feb. 17, at a ...

NASA’s Space Shuttle program successfully fired its first Production Rate Motor Tuesday, Aug. 16, at a Utah test facility. The two-minute static, or stationary, firing of the rocket motor was ...
