Magnetic gears are surprisingly unknown and used only in a few niche applications. Yet, their popularity is on the rise, and they are one of the slickest solutions for transmitting mechanical energy, ...

INDUSTRIAL MAGNETICS INC.’s MBX magnetic clamping blocks for machinists and fabricators quickly setup and hold steel workpieces in place, without the time-consuming and obstructive design of a ...

We’ve probably all used gears in our projects at one time or another, and even if we’re not familiar with the engineering details, the principles of transmitting torque through meshed teeth are pretty ...

The race is on to create an ebike motor that adds the least amount of weight and bulk as physically possible, disappearing away into the bike where it's barely seen or heard but is felt on every pedal ...

The new milk frother you are using to prepare your cappuccino is likely using magnetic gears. Magnetic gears transmit rotary motion like mechanical gears but instead of teeth they use magnetic ...

In an experiment reminiscent of the "Transformers" movie franchise, engineers at Princeton University have created a type of material that can expand, assume new shapes, move and follow ...

Magnetic gears represent a transformative approach to power transmission, utilising magnetic fields to transmit torque between rotating shafts without physical contact. This contactless operation ...

Wireless charging systems seem like an easy way to keep electric cars running. You just drive up to a charge point and let the system beam power to your battery without ever having to step out into ...

This file type includes high resolution graphics and schematics when applicable. The simplest axial magnetic gearboxes consist of two disks each containing alternating positive and negative magnets ...
