[@laura-ann.0726]

Thank you! I drive a 2019 Toyota Prius Prime, and this video is the best explanation I've ever found on how the cars two motor/generators work. One thing the video didn't mention: there is a sensor on the rotor shaft of each of the Prius's motors, that continually and very precisely tracks the angle of the rotor around it's 360° circle. The signal from this sensor is fed to the motor control computer, which is controlling the bank of high-power MOSFET transistors in the inverter, that create the 3-phase alternating current that power the motor stator windings. As the video explains, there is an ideal phase-angle relationship between the magnetic fields in the rotor's permanent magnets, and the phase angle of the rotating magnetic fields being produced by the stator. The motor control computer continually adjusts and optimizes this phase angle, based on the signal from the rotor position sensor, and other sensors, plus the driver's demand for power given via the throttle pedal or cruise control setting. I assume that the Tesla, and other EV cars, have a similar sensor on the rotor.

[@aceman0000099]

[@benpayne4663]

to those having a headache: 1. when magnets are moved around wires an electric current is induced in the wire. i.e. electrons move. 2. if electrons move thru wire a magnetic field also circles the entire length of the wire. electricity and magnetism are not separate. it is one phenomena joined from two properties = electro-magnetism. 3. so, use the magnet's field to move metal parts around, like a drive axle.

[@vancouverman4313]

Very good analogy.

[@jesscast5122]

@Robert Slackware They don't have 2 levels of CONTACTS. It's all electronic Commutation. and they don't fire on empty cylinders. the EIS simply monitors the firing sequence then triggers the proper coil. By sharing the duty cycle the Coils have time for proper saturation. which was a problem at HIGH Rpms.....

[@Bryan-Hensley]

Not at all. Inverter motor simply take the electricity and adjust the frequency. The outlet in your home runs at 60hz. The inverter changes this HZ to whatever it needs. It goes from 1hz to 1khz (top limit would be the maximum rpm the motor can handle). The first DC brushless motor was the gas gauge in vehicles back from the middle 1900s. Yes that is a DC brushless motor.

[@njipods]

Not at all like that. The old motor they had would run like that. They had timing advances. This is like running 2 ignition systems both at the same time and blending between them depending on RPM

What was missing imo was a visual representation of losses over rotor speed and load. Because the main issue of induction motors in automotive applications is their bad partial load performance which is not only dependant on speed.

Starting with a re explanation of the root, in this example the poles of different atoms and how they are generated, and then building up to the bigger picture with their complex magnetic field diagrams. I’ve always found that a lot of education systems suffer from this same issue, where they teach theory that is simple to perform, but don’t delve into why it is that these things are true, meaning most students don’t actually develop understanding and rely on their memory of formulas etc.

he must be, i find it funny how marketing guys for Tesla and electric cars always claim that electric motors are more efficient, while never showing any form of prof like a datasheet for the motor and independent tests. in reality electric motors have always had more or less a bad efficiency, at least when u take in to account every step the power has to pass through to eventually be used by the motor. not to mention that most generators has a efficiency of 50% or lower and there is very few that are more than that(the same goes for a motor as a generator is virtually identical). this all one makes the over all efficiency 25% or less making electric cars not that good. i wonder what Nikola Tesla would think of the Tesla company.

[@93matarl]

​@Hash Frowns According to Rolls-Royce about Bergen Diesel/LNG generators "We offer you a wide, highly economical product range with a leading nominal electrical efficiency of up to 50%. We also support you with a diverse range of pre- and aftersales services. Our broad scope and capability covers:" bergen.rolls-royce.com/ datasheet: bergen.rolls-royce.com/Portals/_default/assets/1/677/252_BookletEdition1-2020.pdf For induction engines "In practice, we see from our experience that a typical colliery or industry predominantly use induction motors having power factor varying from 0.5 to .75 lagging." www.yourarticlelibrary.com/electrical-engineering/mines/improvement-of-power-factor-in-induction-motors-mines/87873 Lets say you have a engine or turbine with a theoretical power of 10MW which is 10 000KW you get out of the engine/turbine 10 000KW * 0.50Pf = 5000KW which is the amount that it delivers to the power network, the rest is 5000KW of heat that can be used for steam, which is normal on a ship or a land installation provided that it's a diesel or natural-gas, if it's a turbine from a Hydro-power plant you cant use that excess energy as remote heating. Now provided that we ignore the power loss in transmission of the power as that is highly variable depending on how long the cable is. Now for the induction motor, we need to do two calculations, first we take the amount take the lowest amount of power efficiency of 50%, and we assume that the theoretical is the same as the generators nominal efficiency(5000KW), then we take 5000KW * 0.50Pf = 2500KW out on the propeller or wheel before any mechanical loss in any external component, now we take the best case scenario induction motor, 5000KW * 0.75Pf = 3750KW and the same as last calculation about loss is still true. Now for the overall efficiency of the whole process, we need to take the theoretical power of the generator an compare it to both scenarios we have lets first do the lowest performing one, 2500KW / 10 000KW = 0.25Pf which is the over all efficiency of the engine form the generator to the induction engines output, next we can do the best case scenario, 3750KW / 10 000KW = 0.375Pf from the generator to the induction engine, so in conclusion the overall efficiency of a Induction engine is between 25%-37.5% and is not at all 90% efficient that Tesla and many electric car manufacturers is claiming. Now remember that these calculations does not take in to account the loss of power in the circuits and in battery charging, and the transmission loss over distance, so the efficiency is lower than the efficiency in this calculation, but the reason i don't include those is because it's hard to find a average value for that, or a value that ranges from min/max power loss of those. Also Rolls-Royce is the manufacturer i know of that has the best efficiency of all generators in market at this moment, and the reason i choice them as a source is their claims is valid do to maritime laws preventing them form lying about their efficiency, do to the MARPOL 73/78 convention made by the International Maritime Organization under UN control. Also induction engines normally cost more depending on the efficiency, an as of that most people will go for the one that cost less, this is do to most economists will ignore the cost saving over time compared to short time cost, and that people with lower income will not be able to pay the extra amount you need to get an efficiency of 37.5%, most will go for the one with an efficiency of 25% just for that reason. Also remember where most power comes from in most country and that is nuclear, coal, oil and LNG, there are some wind but wind turbines has a low efficiency and the same goes for many other power sources, and there is not many places where you can have a hydro electrical plant at all so that is not a real option. Here are a link to some efficiency's for different sources of power but i question the validity of the site so take it with a grain of salt: www.brighthubengineering.com/power-plants/72369-compare-the-efficiency-of-different-power-plants/ also you should never use google as a source for anything they do not answer any thing correctly and often makes the claim based on bad data, do your research and always cross reference things, the claim of 85-90% is not the total efficiency of the motor that is the cosφ which is the loss in an electrical engine do to the angle of the rotor and normally is 0.85-0.9 cosφ the rest is mechanical losses do to bearings and magnetically resistance in the motor, also in theory cosφ can never go over 0.9 at least that was what i was thought by my teachers at Marine engineering officer(STCW 95) school i went to said, since that angle is necessary for the engine to be able to turn at all.

[@NRG1985]

Correct, but a narrative and a hype has to be built. This is what matters nowadays, gossip over fact. One of the most interesting example of technological disinformation since a long time, together with the mighty Halbach Array and Switched Reluctance or any fancy word out-of-context fanboys like. Nothing against Tesla but I cannot understand why such disinformation exists. Regarding the Toyota Prius, that specific design was introduced in... 2004...For researcher/students in e-motors this is a well known study case and reference design, in the past used as benchmark also (can be found in a lot of research paper) . Report of ORNL of 2010 has a lot of info. Some interesting remarks of this design, from a real expert in the field, min. 8 : 20 kzbin.info/www/bejne/iHS4Y2Wqrs54b8k

[@crashfactory]

@@NRG1985 I'm really glad he mentioned the design was originated at Toyota (or elsewhere, before as a reference design?). Agree that Tesla (the company) deserves little credit, but gets it in this case anyway, just the opposite of the real Tesla (who got little credit at the time and deserves more now). Arguably, if Learn Engineering had wanted a more accurate, and clickbait-y title, that was still more representative of the linear of the design they could have said "Tesla Stole Toyota's motor????" . uhg.

[@NRG1985]

​@@crashfactory The Toyota 2004 was the first mass market IPM synchronoys traction motor for xEV with such characteristic V-shape arrangement of the magnet. But the IPM V-shape arrangement and in general all the modern IPM designs are studied in academia since the 1980s (lot is deserved to Prof. Thomas Jahns) and used in the industry probably since the 1990s. Toyota was the first car manufacturer to introduce IPM designs in Prius already in the end of 1990s, with a I-shape arrangement which later evolved in 2004 in this particoular V-shape, which the video considers as magical or never seen before. www.icrepq.com/icrepq19/212-19-abad.pdf We are talking about more than 10-20 years ago, not yesterday...this should be mentioned because at the same time AC Propulsion was working with the motor tehcnology which was available and well known at the time, the induction motor: this technology ended up in the GM EV1, their Tzero and licensed for the development of Tesla Roadster. Since Toyota Prius, IPM became a reference design in the "growing" xEV industry and the Toyota IPM V-shape was considered a reference for their motor development. Example of EV IPM designs: Nissan Leaf, GM Volt, BMW i3, Tesla itself, Jaguar i-Pace...basically the majority of players. www.researchgate.net/profile/Di_Han2/publication/300415557/figure/fig2/AS:396982737752065@1471659468515/Torque-speed-curve-of-the-induction-motor-used-in-TESLA-Roadster-Sport-Electric-Motor-5.png Also I have never heard of the specific term IPMSynR, in the field is just called IPM synchronous motor: intrinsically all IPM exploit, with different proportions (it depends by many factors), reluctance mechanism for the torque production. Some design are specifically called PM Assisted SynR when the significantly exploit the reluctance torque (multiple flux barrier layout). These are facts, no engineering gossip.

Person who designs and builds electric motors for a living summary here: So they went from a 3 phase squirrel cage motor to a permanent magnet motor, put the magnets from the outside the rotor to the inside to get better efficiency and realized that solid magnets weren't as efficient as individual magnets. They also realized that by continuously changing the phase angles that it would give them the best results for driving, this is seen in most modern power tools and features in Milwaukee power tools.

Electric motors already are at the higher end of 9X% efficiency, which is already double the efficiency of combustion engines.

One of the reasons they used induction motors in the first place is the criticality of dysprosium, a rare earth element in which China controls 90% of which is used in high performance permanent magnets.

Looks exactly like the large servo motors we were using on a production line back in the 1990's. They can accelerate like hell, decelerate the same and brake, and even stop at a selected position. We did not have high inertial loads on the output shaft which can create some of the issues discussed here. I don't understand why the PM 'servo' wasn't adapted sooner.

[@crisnmaryfam7344]

Efficiency of our batteries. Its one thing when you have a AC/DC connection to the wall or some other power supply, and another entirely when you have to count on a battery to live for multiple years of discharging quickly. It was adopted sooner, just not in the "Mass produced" automobile sector.

6:14 Altenator can be added to this motor or Rota and it can charge the battery 🔋🔋 as well as rotating the Wheels or ,free Drive Energy

[@nicklaich]

So basically they achieve variable magnetic force of the rotor, the same as synchronous motors do.

[@wilsjane]

That is one way of looking at it. At the end of the day, it is all about regulating the slip. Slip produces torque, but also generates heat which reduces the efficiency. A fully synchronous motor has little torque so weight become the problem, it also slips during start-up. The balance needed to produce maximum efficiency was historically seen as around 5% slip on asynchronous motors driving a constant load. The problem on variable load with variable speed is maintaining optimum slip over the rev range. Clearly, improve motor design and additional poles help, but correct feedback from motor to inverter is every bit as important in order to prevent energy being dissipated as heat. Siemens led this technology in the early day, developing motors, inverters and regenerative braking for the railways. Their systems returning the regenerated power to the tracks, for close operation and short distance between stations for the London Underground was a milestone in technology.
